So after a little discussion on another thread, I have decided to create a new one that can be more specific.
So anyway, when it comes to a mostly conventional WWIII, we usually think it would take place in the 1980's when well there's a lot of fancy new hardware that can play a role. However one underrated take on a WWIII would be one in the early 50's when there weren't much nuclear weapons on both sides (though the US had more than the Soviets at the time) and that they also had WWII era equipment at the time yet are coming up with ones and then some. Of course, the best way to spark the conflict would be the Korean War spreading to China via MacArthur being allowed to nuke a couple places in Northeast China to "settle" the conflict, which ironically leads to not only more Chinese involvement in the war but also the Soviets in fighting the US and its allies in Europe to defend its Chinese ally (though it can be argued that the USSR might not do so but I digress and just roll with the "help China" route for the sake of this topic).
While it's true that TTL's WWIII would pit a US-NATO-NATO allied alliance (more or less the "UN" only by them) against a Sino-Soviet "axis", and that the former would likely win in the long run if all goes well for them, what's interesting is how the post war world plays out after NATO wins. So I ask, what are the possible ways for the geopolitical scene to play out in the aftermath of TTL's WWIII in the early 50's?
Though I should note that it's a given that the US would be the sole hyperpower on the planet for a long time and that the British and French would be playing a role, most likely as its closest allies in shaping the post war world.
