For Great Britain, everything evolves around "WWII"; so when Britain says on televison, "post war" they're saying WWII. WWII was Great Britains "...We stood alone, ...and so many owed so much to so few (RAF pilots during the Battle of Britain),...and "we will fight them on the beaches, we will fight them in the air, we will never surrender! (Winston Churchill). So...when one thinks of Great Britain, one must think in terms of World War II (this is their time line).

The cold war has little to do with Britain; other than the fact that Britain was a major US ally (under NATO) and that the US had many military installations in Europe and Britain. Other than that, the US invented and used atomic bombs, no one else has ever done so. The cold war was between the super-powers of the US & USSR, with everyone else falling behind them, second, third, fourth, etc.
