Nuclear holocaust refers to the possibility of the nearly complete annihilation of human civilization by nuclear warfare. Under such a scenario, all or most of the Earth is made uninhabitable by nuclear weapons in future world wars. A common definition of the word "holocaust": "great destruction resulting in the extensive loss of life, especially by fire. " The word is derived from the Greek term "holokaustos" meaning "completely burnt.

  • Als Nuklearer oder Atomarer Holocaust wird die vollkommene oder weitestgehende Vernichtung der menschlichen Zivilisation durch einen Atomkrieg bezeichnet. Das politische Schlagwort wurde vor allem in den 1980er-Jahren in der damaligen Bundesrepublik Deutschland verwendet. Es drückte die Furcht vor den unabsehbaren Folgen des Wettrüstens zwischen den damaligen Supermächten USA und Sowjetunion aus. Der Holocaustbegriff war in den 1980er-Jahren im deutschen Sprachraum noch nicht dezidiert mit der Vernichtung der europäischen Juden belegt.
  • Nuclear holocaust refers to the possibility of the nearly complete annihilation of human civilization by nuclear warfare. Under such a scenario, all or most of the Earth is made uninhabitable by nuclear weapons in future world wars. A common definition of the word "holocaust": "great destruction resulting in the extensive loss of life, especially by fire. " The word is derived from the Greek term "holokaustos" meaning "completely burnt. " Possibly the first printed use of the word "holocaust" to describe an imagined nuclear destruction is Reginald Glossop's 1926: "Moscow ... beneath them ... a crash like a crack of Doom! The echoes of this Holocaust rumbled and rolled ... a distinct smell of sulphur ... atomic destruction. " In the 1960s the principal referent of the unmodified "holocaust" was nuclear destruction. Since the mid 1970s the capitalized term "Holocaust" has been closely associated with the Nazi mass slaughter of Jews and "holocaust" in its nuclear destruction sense is almost always preceded by "atomic" or "nuclear". Nuclear physicists and authors have speculated that nuclear holocaust could result in an end to human life, or at least to modern civilization on Earth due to the immediate effects of nuclear fallout, the loss of much modern technology due to electromagnetic pulses, or nuclear winter and resulting extinctions.
  • Um Holocausto nuclear refere-se a possibilidade da aniquilação quase completa da civilização humana por uma guerra nuclear. Uma definição comum da palavra “holocausto”: “grande destruição tendo por resultado extensas vítimas mortais, especialmente pela ação do fogo. ” A palavra é derivada do grego “holokaustos", que significa ”queimado completamente. ” Primeiramente o termo foi utilizado em 1926 por Reginald Glossop para descrever uma destruição nuclear imaginária em Moscou, (embora a primeira bomba atômica tenha sido criada em 1945, o seu conceito já existia desde os anos 20) Desde os anos 70 o termo “holocausto” foi associado com a chacina em massa dos judeus pelos Nazistas e o “holocausto” em seu sentido de destruição nuclear é sucedido quase sempre por “atômico” ou por “nuclear”. Os físicos e os autores nucleares especularam que o holocausto nuclear poderia conduzir à vida humana a extremos, especulam que devido aos pulsos eletromagnéticos da precipitação nuclear à civilização moderna perderia muita tecnologia, ou senão, que haveria extinções em massa devido ao inverno nuclear.
  • Fichier:Castle romeo2. jpg Champignon nucléaire La notion d’holocauste nucléaire évoque la possibilité de l'éradication partielle ou totale de la civilisation humaine par une guerre nucléaire. Dans un tel scénario, la totalité ou une partie de la Terre serait détruite et rendue inhabitable par la forte radioactivité ou l'hiver nucléaire suivant la guerre. C'est un thème de science-fiction post-apocalyptique, et l'une des premières fictions ayant abordé ce thème fut Last and First Men d'Olaf Stapledon. D'autres nouvelles, comme Un cantique pour Leibowitz de Walter M. Miller ou On the Beach de Nevil Shute, des jeux vidéo comme Fallout et des films comme Mad Max ou Terminator sont également basés sur ce thème.
