what if the Cuban Missile Crisis had led to war? I was thinking about making a post Nuclear Armageddon TL with this being the POD.
Both sides short on ICBMs; the US with distinct advantages in terms of numbers of MRBMs and bombers... Not plaeasant but far from a Nuclear Armageddon TL.what if the Cuban Missile Crisis had led to war? I was thinking about making a post Nuclear Armageddon TL with this being the POD.
For USSR this would certainly be an Armageddon. Also for Europe, but USA would be to large extent spared the direct effects of the war. Soviets did not have large amount of missiles at that particular moment, so I presume the eventual exchange would be one sided.
However it would make for an 'interesting' world. I'd like to read such a TL.
