Most people commonly mistake the time era to be World War 2, this is ridiculous since the boys are British and no bomb was ever dropped on London as is said in the book. Lord of the Flies is set during a fictional nuclear war, most likely between the Soviet Union, the USA and NATO (which Britain is part of). Refrences to "The Reds" twice in the book can confirm this. The reds being the name given to the soviets.
