EDIT: delay not dely, fuck me. I'd like to have an opinion from you guys about what could possibly happen if, for a series of reasons, the infamous invasion of Soviet Union was delayed for a very long time, up to Spring to Summer 1943 for exemple, as its seems to be widly accepted that for the...

Maybe i missed something, but, what about the historical Marshall Plan for Europe ? We are going to have a significantly lower economic kickstart for the post-war european nation ? This could very well play into soviet hands in the first years if the local government show themselves weak and...

Maybe a deep credit crunch ? It will be the end for the SME all around the world, few companies have liquidity to survive more then few months without access to the banking system but i fear that the interests of the US debt will rise a lot with so many big banks in shambles.

With the war the americans had endangered the vital oil supply for the entire South-East Asia (Japan will take the worst of the energy crisis) i wonder how the foreign relations will evolve. And with the financial crisis ongoing... US public debt skyrocketing, exports bound economies together...

Default of Spain and Italy in such short timespan means the collapse of the financial collapse of France and Germany, no matter what their government will try to do. With them the rest of Europe (and the world) will follow in 20-30 weeks. And things in Middle East will explode very quickly; i...

400$ for barrel and the war is just started, oh well, farewell world economy, farewell Japan industry.

I will follow this, with the incoming wave of the economic recession the shitstorm will be an absolute nightmare, and say hallo to the coalition troops in Iraq, the Green Zone will be a parked lot at the end of the week. Even the oil infrastructures in Barhein, Saudi Arabia, EAU will be under...

Well the solar storm of 1859 was powerful enough to set on fire the cables of telegraph so we may have some more serious issue the just satellite communication disrupted.

Ah ok, missed the event.

I might have missed some minor detail, but what happend to the soviet MRBM in Cuba ?

The war in Europe its a tragedy, Germany is not in shape to fight, Greece will not fight, Italy can only be a second class members right now; i figure enormous social upheaval and total political paralysis. The Navy will help in the Mediterranean Sea but forgot italian army units on the...

Id like this timeline, pls make sure the thing are getting worse. :cool:

Ephraim you should put link to the previous posts with the updates in the opening post but, aside that, welcome back. :p

I did not even know that Kennedy was under steroids therapy in those days. :p I was just assuming more technical difficulties for U-2 reconnaissance operations.

What would have happened if the soviet missile launchers on Cuba were completely operative by the time of the first U-2 reconnaissance flight instead still being under costruction ? I highly doubt that USSR with their weapon systems in position choose to dimantle tham in favor of some bases...

With a POD no earlier than 1962, have the US make an attempt to invade North Vietnam with by any means necessary before then 1975, if this will end in a nuclear war its still a valid scenario. :p

This is something new here, the Hitler brothers struggling with the social ladder.

Maybe i missed one or two point in this timeline, but, in the meanwhile, in Europe Italy has chosen the neutral stance or they decided to stand with someone ?

Thanks for your answers, i slowly building a scenario in which an even more polarized ME will be the background for a series of extremely heavy tank battles in the desert. :p

Is somehow possible, with a PoD after 1945, to make Iran a satellite state under the control of Soviet Union ? What consequences could have the presence of another soviet aligned actor in the Middle East theatre ?
