Riot in Belafest during the Second Irish Civil War, ca. mid to late 2069.

As the European Commonwealth was falling into anarchy in the 2060s, the Irish government, in a desperate bid to prevent a coup attempt or a violent uprising against the government, invaded Northern Ireland in late 2060 to appease Irish Nationalists. However, this decision would start what many would call the Second Irish Civil War, as the Irish government had to deal with British Unionists in the north while the rest of the country was a battleground between the government, Fascists, Communists, and general rioters and protesters. The United Kingdom would have supported the Unionists, as the British Prime Minister threatened Ireland with an invasion if they didn't withdraw. In reality, the UK was using Northern Ireland as a casus belli to distract the general population from its problems and to satisfy some fringe factions in the government wishing to reform the British Empire. However, the UK dealt with its own problems during the Euro Civil War, such as successionists in Scotland, Wales, and Plymouth, Fascist, Communist, and Republican guerillas, and general protests and riots. Because of this, the UK wasn't involved in the Second Irish Civil War. The Second Irish Civil War came to an official end on October 23, 2077, when the UK launched nukes on Ireland in the vain belief that the reconquest of the nation would be made easier. However, these plans never came to fruition as the UK was hit by the bombs as well.
Who hit the UK during the Great War?
 
Consider how one of the best television series of the 21st century was Breaking Bad (FOX-TV)(2008-2013:



or the film series John Wick which also was a major highlight (2014-2028):

Surving copy of a nuclear safety guidebook provided to all homes by the Irish Civil Defence 2052 to 2077. While Ireland favoured neutrality on the global political scale, it was well known that such neutrality would do little to protect the island and its people from the fallout of atomic war. As the global tension exploded into the Resource Wars and the use nuclear weapons became increasingly more common, Dublin did what it could to help its people through the inevitable end of the world

Honestly seems like overkill nuking Ireland, as we have at best 2 or 3 places worth a nuke.

I’ve always ran with the idea that Ireland has always been very aware how screwed they are when the resource wars break out, getting bullied into giving up access to the few resources like natural gas fields by the remaining powers like Britain or France and then getting wrecked by fallout when everybody else starts throwing nukes but managing to avoid direct strikes themselves

Probably no one - there was sod all worth having left. No resources. Just an utter failed state.

China cannot reach them, the Soviets had their own problems. US did not target them.
It's likely that Britain and France were the one of the few European nations to stave off the European Civil War, unless they turned to alternative energy. Pluss I bet the soviets targeted Western Europe for fear of resurgent powers, but it would likely come at the cost of their lives.

A group of Wehrsportgruppe Hoffmann fighters move across a field to ambush an ECA convey during the summer of 2075.

The Military-sports-group Hoffmann (German Wehrsportgruppe Hoffmann (WSG Hoffmann)) was a fascist terrorist gang in the Federal Republic of Germany. Founded by Karl-Heinz Hoffmann in 1973 the group acted as a private armed force with more than 400 active participants. Regarded as the most active neo-Nazi terrorist gang in the 1970s and 1980s in the Federal Republic, the group was prohibited by the Interior Minister in 1980.

The group would reemerge once in during the European Civil War in the 2060s in which members of Wehrsportgruppe Hoffmann were involved in political murders and antisemitic and far-right violence in the following years across Southern Germany before the Great War, eventually they became an Army, controlling territory in Bavaria and Austria. After the Great War of 2077, the group hide out in bunkers in the German Alps while they waited for conditions on the outside to improve, to which they did around 2097. A couple decades later, Wehrsportgruppe Hoffmann along with the various other far-right militias would go on to establish the "Fourth Reich" in the city of Rosenheim in 2133 to which there ultimate goal would be to unify Germany under the role of National Socialism.

In this photograph taken on October 23rd, 2077, a young boy looks out in the distance at what used to be Paris. He is seeing the mushroom cloud of the second warhead that hit the city in the La Defense district. It is unknown what happened to the boy in the picture, but recently a ghoul in the City State of Madrid in the Iberian Peninsula claims that he is the boy in the photo, although you might want to take his story with a grain of salt.

Last known photo of the Royal Yacht, ca. October 22, 2077.

It is currently unknown where the Royal Family and their descendants are, as some speculation occurred that perhaps they had fled London to avoid the wrath of anti-government guerillas. While it is generally believed by people inside and outside of the former UK that the Royal Family perished along with the rest of the world, it hasn't stopped others from saying otherwise. Some monarchists believe that the Royals, like the American Federal Government in its final days of existence, joined an organization similar to the Enclave, and their descendants are now its leaders. Across the former British Isles, several individuals claimed to be the last descendants of the British Crown, with some survivor groups using those people to get the people of the former nation to back them.

A 2040s pre-war travel poster for Cologne, Germany, which was once the largest city of the German state of North Rhine-Westphalia and the fourth-most populous city of Germany with nearly 1.1 million inhabitants in the city proper and over 3.1 million people in the Cologne Bonn urban region before the Great War.

The devastation of post war Cologne.

On October 23rd, 2077, when the Great War commenced, a soviet 262 KT nuclear device want off over the city, destroying 61% of its built up area, killed over 450,486 people within seconds and left 59,000 people homeless. By the end of the 21st Century, the population of Cologne had been reduced by 95%, mainly caused by a massive exodus of the people to more rural areas free of radiation. Nowadays the city is mostly inhabited by raiders, wild animals, Caninethrope tribals and feral ghouls.

The aftermath of a bombing by the Red Army Faction (Baader Meinhof) militants in 2065 in the city of Hamburg.

The Red Army Faction was a West German far-left militant organization founded in 1970. Key early figures included Andreas Baader, Ulrike Meinhof, Gudrun Ensslin, and Horst Mahler, among others. The government of the Federal Republic of Germany considered the Red Army Faction to be a terrorist organization.[c] The group was motivated by leftist political concerns and the perceived failure of their parents' generation to confront Germany's Nazi past, and received support from Stasi and other Eastern Bloc security services.

The Red Army Faction engaged in a series of bombings, assassinations, kidnappings, bank robberies, and shoot-outs with police over the course of three decades. Their activity peaked in late 2061 following the disbandment of the European Commonwealth, which led to a national crisis in West Germany that became known as the "German Autumn". The RAF was held responsible for 34 deaths, including an industrialist with ties to RobCo, the Dresdner Bank, and the federal prosecutor. As well as many secondary targets, such as chauffeurs and bodyguards, with many others injured throughout its almost thirty years of activity since its resurgence; 26 RAF members or supporters were killed. Although better-known, the RAF conducted fewer attacks than the Revolutionary Cells, which is held responsible for 296 bomb attacks, arson and other attacks between 2073 and 2075. The organization all but ceased to exist following the Great War.

A long abandoned britsh BARD military robot continuing its patrol enforcing quarantine on a small town and nearby military base in Northern England. Like many once great powers, Britian invested heavily in miliatry robotics in a desperate attempt at keeping law, order, and the economy rolling on even as the world tore itself apart in the Resource Wars. As communications and control from London because ever more erratic and unenforceable, many miltary sites would simply be abaonded and left to the protection of mindless machines who would diligently follow their final orders with no hope of ever being relieved.
