You’re assuming humanity would have survived?

That’s why I had “if any” in there. There probably would’ve been some humans left. About to only way to completely kill ALL humans would physical destruction of the planet (Death Star destruction type stuff) or extraterrestrial invasion.

Humanity would have survived. In the early 60s both sides combined lack the capability to snuff out all of humanity.

The most likely outcome of a full nuclear exchange between the Soviet Inion and the US in the early 60s would most likely have resulted in far less damage, at least for the US, than most realize. The truth is, if you take an objective look at the defensive and offensive capability of each country at that time, the most likely outcome is both sides would have suffered casualties in the millions but the Soviets would have taken far more damage than the US. But neither side would have totally wiped out the other.

Absolutely. The kids did drills in school every day to seek shelter under their desks.

Artist rendering of the day after a 10T terrorist bomb detonates in Manhattan, for a quick comparison.
