world war iii

What if the U.S. invasion of Grenada led to the start of the Third World War? The POD is the U.S. leadership choosing to impose a military blockade of Cuba in retaliation for their intervention on behalf of Austin's government. At some point Cuban aircraft fire upon a U.S. destroyer and...

I've been working on something new for a while and today I feel ready to post the first small piece of this TL. The topic is the outbreak of a Third World War in 1983, escalating into a full nuclear exchange between NATO and the Warsaw Pact. Seven Days to the River Rhine: the Third World War...

- Hey there BLC!! - Hello voice of doubt in my head. - What's this? - Urm... just a little side project. - Whatever happened to "War makes for Strange Bedfellows" - Oh it's still alive, don't worry. That's still my priority. I'm still working on the next chapters. - So why this? - Well, the...

This is my first attempt at a serious timeline, so don't be too harsh. The goal is to analyze what World War III (and more specifically, nuclear war) would look like if it were fought in 1965. There may be some mistakes, and this may or may not be plausible, but I've gone to great lengths to...

2026 Augusts 26th - There is sunshine over the city of Philadelphia for the first time since the war began. It would not end for another two months. Every so often, someone pokes their head from the rubble, suited up, listening for survivors. This was to be the last war, and all Philadelphians...

So, like it says on the tin. The assumption is that WWIII in this timeline lasts from 1948 to 1951, and ends in a (pyrrhic) US victory, and pretty much results in the USSR collapsing inward, after Zhukov deposed Stalin. This was as the Allies reached Minsk and the USSR had already taken nearly...

Could after an alternate timeline were the CMC became World War Three and the ensuing chaos after the Nuclear War caused the US, Canada and Mexico to lose some states? Is it possible or not? How would recovery last long? Which states would secede from their mother nation?

World War III took place from 1983 to 1991. It was seen as mostly a repeat of World War II, as the Nazis were the enemy again. The war was expected to be short, what with the Global Freedom Coalition exploiting the Italo-German split to have Italy (along with their Spanish allies) be on their...

Many who ever played World In Conflict and World In Conflict: Soviet Assault will say it is the best RTS game that sadly was orphaned since Massive Entertainment became defunct. We were left with the story hanging after the U.S. liberated Seattle from Soviet occupation while fending off a...

How realistic would the population be if the Cuban Missile Crisis escalated to a Global War which then became a Nuclear War, killing millions of people. Realistically the USSR would fall but the USA would survive but losing majority of it's population, basically losing it's economy and etc...

October 16, 1962: You are the President of the United States, and American intelligence reports that the Soviet Union is planting missile silos in Cuba, only ninety miles from US shores. Your response will determine the fate of the world. Any single miscalculation could increase global tensions...

If the Cold War ever escalated into a full scale nuclear World War III (like during the Cuban Missile Crisis) what would have been South Africa's fate?

Lexington, Kentucky, United States of America The second largest city in the state of Kentucky, Lexington is modest in size compared to most American cities. It has its share of wealth, largely from the horse industry, but that is not what it is best known for. Lexington is in many respects a...
