  1. Would the world have survived a nuclear war in 1983?

    Theyll be hit for precisely that reason. Plus biological weapons know no boundaries.
  2. Would the world have survived a nuclear war in 1983?

    Except weaponized diseases can have a 90% death rate - and thats with a working first world health care system. If even 10% of the leaked details about what the Russians cooked up are true, those biological weapons are the things of nightmares. They make the nukes look like kids toys.
  3. Would the world have survived a nuclear war in 1983?

    One thing you're all forgetting to mention is that a 1983 ww3 scenario, wouldn't just be nuclear - russia (and most certainly the USA despite what it might claim) would have used biological weapons as well. Weaponized pox, anthrax, and the gods only knows what else they would have unleashed from...
  4. How would a post-nuclear world look like?

    Not to mention, say you live in a small town or out in the sticks. So long as you have a half hour warning, etc, you could cover your home gardens with tarps, plastic etc. Then once the fallout "mostly" ends, you peel back the contaminated "dust", dump it somewhere else, and the soil underneath...
  5. Role of women in conversion to christianity in the late antiquity and early middle ages.

    Women were (ironically) essential to the rise of Christianity in Northern Europe - little did they know they were giving away their rights and freedoms that would take a thousand years to recover. :/
  6. German victory in the East in 1943/1944-can the Western Allies still defeat Hitler?

    Assuming the plane gets through - without the war in the east the Reich will have A LOT more anti air guns and planes and training space available.
  7. Was there any American POWs and MIAs left in Vietnam post 1975? (Yes this is a serious question)

    Wouldn't have surprised me if there were a few MIA being held deep within the country somewhere. But they'd long since be dead by now.
  8. At what exact moment did Germany lose the opportunity to win the war with the Soviet Union?

    I'd wager not taking Lenningrad (or at least properly/completely cutting it off) in the fall of '41 and not taking Moscow in the fall of '41. Or else, not stopping a lot sooner (and closer to home) and digging in a proper defensive positions long before winter. Remember, the Russian winters hurt...
  9. Sixes and Snake eyes Rommel's luck in an alternate 1942 desert war

    Sadly it happens to most TLs here - especially ones that get penalized for arbitrary reasons.
  10. Sixes and Snake eyes Rommel's luck in an alternate 1942 desert war

    Ditto. Anotherone bites the dust.
  11. The Rainbow. A World War One on Canada's West Coast Timeline

    May the Leipzig live to provide us with a sequel :P
  12. The Rainbow. A World War One on Canada's West Coast Timeline

    Hopefully the second German ship is able to escape "relatively" intact, to make a "dash for freedom". Would make a good sequel or "part two". The hunt for the Nurnberg.
  13. The Rainbow. A World War One on Canada's West Coast Timeline

    Honestly, given the delay, I think the torpedo missed and hit the shore (or submerged rocks, etc) and then went kaboom.
  14. If nuclear weapons were not used during world war 2, Would they be used in any cold war conflicts

    Most likely. For better or worse, their usage in ww2 probably has saved a hell of a lot of lives.
  15. The Rainbow. A World War One on Canada's West Coast Timeline

    This. Germany just (likely) won the war without even knowing it.
