You need to have both the United States and the Soviet Union collapse at the end of the Cold War. No nukes or ASBs allowed.
See OP. No nukes allowed.Nuclear war. Have 1983 go hot and boom, both nations are dead.
If the US were to "collapse", it would have to be for entirely different reasons, like war, plague, or some sort of extreme social pressure that wasn't really there in the late 20th century.

What he said. Also, I have a suspicion the thread is meant to ask about how a world without superpowers would fare, and the nuclear option is pretty much "Everyone dies", which defeats the purpose.See OP. No nukes allowed.
My point exactly: its impossible without an event like that. Aside from a pre-WWII.See OP. No nukes allowed.

Does collapse mean the US breaks apart, or merely loses much of its power?You need to have both the United States and the Soviet Union collapse at the end of the Cold War. No nukes or ASBs allowed.
One question i have is, what would replace the US after its hypothetical collapse? OTL’s USSR was replaced by a plethora of mostly poor republics, i can’t see the US fracturing among similar lines.
