yom kippur war

The war began on 6 October 1973, when the Arab coalition jointly launched a surprise attack against Israel on the Jewish holy day of Yom Kippur. Egyptian forces crossed the Suez Canal in Operation Badr and advanced into the Sinai Peninsula; the Syrians launched a coordinated attack in the Golan...

Read title. For the uninformed, Israel was doing really badly during the opening stages of the Yom Kippur War of 1973 (henceforth abbreviated to YKW). In the Sinai, the Bar-Lev line failed to hold back the Egyptian onslaught and the common availability of man-portable AT weapons buttfucked...

Most are aware that Israeli politics were shaken by the 1977 elections in which the Alignment lost power and Likud formed the government. There were many factors in this (growing participation of Mizrahi voters, anger at the economic performance especially of non state sector companies, disgust...

As the TL says. I was thinking that if by some reason there's a right-leaning government in Venezuela in the 60s (for instance, if Medina Angarita or Pérez Jiménez aren't overthrown), that government would have been more friendly towards the United States and wouldn't have tried to create an...

i decided to write a timeline where israel is better prepared for war in october 1973 and Anwar Sadat cancels the attack yet Hafez El-Assad goes ahead anyway. the question is how would egypt be affected politicly, wolud there be an overthrowing of Sadat maybe?

In October 1973 Israel was surprised. The Yom Kippur war came to them as a surprise. You know who else was surprised? The US. Specifically, the CIA. By that time, the US and the USSR had an agreement that they would inform each other if a war wad about to start, so the cold war won't turn warm...

In 1973 the Arab forces achieved stunning initial successes. However the situation turned against them in later phases of the war. What would have happened, if a ceasefire would have come into effect significantly later (lets say a week or two)? scenario: 1) Both Superpowers continue massive...

What if during the Yom Kippur war of 1973, the US chose not to be involved, fearing the risk of an oil embargo? Would have Israel still won without the US help? Would have the oil embargo still happened or not? Would have the Soviet Union collapsed years earlier as some people say it would have?

Hello, gentlemen and welcome to Earth.....in the year 1973. The 1970s were a time of change, of upheaval, of conflicts, and detenté. Among said conflicts, was a military conflict in the Middle East called the Yom Kippur War. For those that have not paid attention in history class, I will mention...

So, this being an alternate history where the Yom Kippur War started WWIII, we need to start planning things out: first, a course of events that transcribe throughout the conventional WWIII that lasts for at least 3 weeks, and then culminating in 2017/2018, depending on the progress of the...

Alright, so, question: I have been thinking of doing a scenario so far where the Cold War goes hot due to the Yom Kippur War, especially with that one time that Brezhnev threatened to intervene if Israel kept violating the ceasefire, which in the scenario I am about to postulate, it did violate...

Assuming that the Yom Kippur War happened as in our timeline would it be possible to have an earlier Camp David Accords, say by a couple of years? This is for a Nixon timeline I'm kicking around where the Watergate scandal, and other situations, never happens so that he's secure in his office...

There was a story that appeared on CNN about the recently declassified CIA briefings to President Nixon and Ford. One briefing concerned the Yom Kippur War when the fight between Egypt and Israel was at an all time high and there was speculation by the CIA that the Soviet Union was smuggling...
