Alternate Biographies for the Red Alert Universe

In the words of the great Sgt Schultz 'I know nothing, NOTHING!'

Speaking of which

Charles M. Schulz: A writer from Minessota, he was actually know for drawing a lot and being a fairly competent millitary officier particpating in the allies campaign in Norway, only to have his hand permantly crippled during a battle with the Soviet. He somehow became depressive in the following years. Even being admited to mental institution for 2 years after a sucide attempt.

He took quite interest in writting in order to exorcise his demons, he started to write down a small book of light-hearted proverbs and quote. That was fairly sucessful.

His second book and most popular book "Good Griefs" was much more very popular, it was a fairly humouristic yet tragic account of his millitary service in Norway and follow the other member of his unit.

He wrote several other book with the same tones and even severals stories for Prince Comic
 
Alec Baldwin: Popular Actor, Baldwin is a notable liberal who has often come under fire from more right wing elements for not decrying communism in his work and often condemning war (Baldwin, like Chaplin, claims that he is not a communist but can't join everyone else in hating them just because they exist). Many have hoped for Baldwin to "Pull a Heston" and run for governor and eventually president. However, for the moment he is content to remain where he is.

Virgil Grissom, Edward H. White, Roger B. Chaffee: First men on the Moon in 1965.

Heh woud have been funny if the other Baldwin had been the popular one, but hey we don't want this to look like dystropia
 
The Barney Rubble one? Yes, that would be bad. The Soviets or McCarthyists can have him.:D

Well Barney Rubble a fictional character, so wouldn't it be the whole flintstone?

Though we should try to globalize it a maximum and clarify the list to a maximun, I had a Yamamoto biography biography written down somewhere though it was for another Red Alert Tl (Japan need to be clarify badly)

A little confused on this; RA3 basically erases out RA1 and RA2, so are we trying to mix them all together? And how close to the games are we trying to be?

I am making quite a few detailed biographies for RA3 here, for what it's worth: https://www.alternatehistory.com/Discussion/showthread.php?t=111919&page=3

If you follow the story line of RA3 then there should not have even been a Red Alert War at all. Removing Einstein before Einstein removed Hitler would result in Hitler rising to power and starting World War II as per OTL.

This thread works under the assumption that RA3 is a continuation of RA2.

Well so far we mostly seem to work on a Red Alert I and II (I don't I even saw reference to Red Alert III or even Yuri) template and I think we should stick that.

Coming from my old file

Aaah its bad I had a Truman one (even did a Truman defeat Dewey pic) but he ain't president during the the Great War anymore

here my Yamamoto biography

Isoroku Yamamoto

Japanese Admiral and Prime Minister he was an influential leader of his country, leading it back toward a more Democratic system after years ruled by a militaristic totalitarian system. He also led the retreat of Japan from the Asian continent after World War II, however maintaining the Japanese gains in the pacific after WWI, but also downsizing the national army.

Born in the Takano family in 1884, but later adopted by the Yamamoto family (both family with samurai background), he quickly set himself to have a career in the military joining the Imperial Japanese Naval Academy in 1904, serving in the Russo-Japanese war on a cruiser were he lost two fingers on his left hand. Shortly after WWI he studied at the U.S Naval College and Harvard. He became a supporter of naval aviation, seeing the importance of aircraft carrier in future conflict.

Although an admiral he was seriously opposed to conflict against China and often made remark that the antagonism that Japan used in its foreign relation (in particular with the United States) were hazardous as no nation was allied with Japan. The appointment of Hideki Tojo as prime minister led to expectation of the Admiral being cut from power (as Tojo and Yamamoto had an history of Political incompatibility). However his popularity and his overall competence as a military officer kept him in the action.

With Soviet Union Rise in power Japan overall military doctrine shifted more toward Manchuria as Stalin was building up his force in the East for his impending conflict with China. The Soviet Union like the United States had a great advantage over Japan if conflict was to erupt: its resource and Stalin had modernized much of the Soviet equipment. Leading to an overall agreement among the military that Stalin could reveal himself more of a threat to Japan due to his location than the United States. If a conflict was to start with either the American or the Soviets, Japan would probably not manage to gain an alliance with a third party at the moment, therefore a more neutral foreign policy was chosen and would mostly focus on preparing Japan home island and conquered territories. While Mao People Republic was often the target of Japanese propaganda being as weak and easily conquerable by Japan, no invasion would be on the agenda as it was likely to bring a war with China.

Yamamoto lobbied for an overall better treatment of Chinese and Koreans in Japanese’s territories, along with some project for a more integrate, equal army in order to bring make their loyalty for Japan grow. However theses efforts only led to mediocre results. The prominence of Yamamoto became weaker as Japan was mostly occupy with land rather than sea.

With the atomic bombing of Ashkhabad and Ulaanbaatar in 1950. Japan quickly declared war on the Soviet Union and the People Republic. The communist’s nations hoped to cut the supply of the Japanese army in Asia and weakening the home island by cutting its supply through an aggressive naval campaign. Yamamoto proved himself to be largely able to counter the strategy by leading sneak attack on Russian and Chinese port to destroy in order to lower the Soviet ability to strike Japanese navy.

The naval and land requirement of Japan proved themselves to be quite a stretch for the nation as casualties started to rise, leading Yamamoto to further cooperation with the United States. One of the sign of the growing cooperation between the allied nations was the Battle of Iwo Jima, were Soviet tried to invade the island in order to use it to attack the home islands. The Japanese were facing a great assault but were able to hold much of the island despite the large lost they were taking. An American battle fleet came in to aid the Japanese striking the occupied part of the island with the Japanese. To do this day the Battle of Iwo Jima is considered a victory of both Japan and the United States.

Following the lost of their Pacific Port, the U.R.S.S.R, initiated a fire bombing using Rocket and Heavy bomber on major capital of Japan with some success. One of their more famous achievements was in 1952 the crippling of Prime Minister Tojo through one of the raid, sending him into a critical state where he was unable to lead Japan. Despite unpopularity among a bulk of the militarist, Yamamoto was able to make the case that he would be the best choice to lead the nation in the closing day of the war as he was no longer require on the pacific front and being a popular figure he could boost Japan morale after it had been smother by the bombing campaign.

Yamamoto didn’t oppose directly to the militarist for most of the remaining year of the war. Although he slowly decreases the power of secret police and made several high ranking officers the target of trial for their brutal actions.

With the end of the war Japan had firmly its hand around Manchuria and no nation were contesting their hold on it, either seeing no interest in the matter or too exhausted from World War II to complain. Soon after the war Yamamoto was able to neutralize his militaristic opponents by releasing several files of the crimes committed by them during the conquest of Manchuria and WWII having them arrest and condemn. While it gave political leverage him at home to reform Japan into a more democratic state it seriously build opposition to Japan in Manchuria and Korea.

In the years following Japanese economy stagnated, Yamamoto tried to use the state to stimulate the economy but made the deficit soar because of the cost of the military occupation around Asia. He quickly started to withdraw from Manchuria and propose a European-Union like political system between the two nations who was submitted through a referendum in 1957. While getting broad support in Japan, he was soundly defeated in Manchuria (who later Re-integrate China in 1959), killing the deal. Korea independence movement flourished shortly after a while and another referendum severe the tied between the Peninsula and the archipels.

Even though his lost made his popularity get lower with time, he recuperates quickly as his economical numbers were higher than those before the start of the various military campaign. The high-technology sector quickly became very important and Japan became the world leader in that domain.
Yamamoto eventually retired from politic in 1962 and died of old age in 1966. Respected in both East and the West, although the more conservative element of Japan tend to portray him as a weak leader that gave away what took Japan years to earn in exchange for a lazy lifestyle. However, most opinion poll shows him as one of the more popular leader of World War II.

extended Dugan one

* Michael Dugan
Michael Stephen Dugan, born in Sacramento, California on March 31st 1920, was the 37th President of the United States. His family were wealthy from a boat construction. The Dugan was one fairly engage in political local politic however they were harden conservative unlike Michael who always know to be fairly liberal. He attended Harvard University and graduated in International Sciences in 1941. He engaged himself in the aviation after the Arizona attack and became bomber pilot attacking soviet bases deep into occupy Germany. His B-29 was shot in airplane battle over France. The surviving crew manage under Dugan leadership to get to the maginot line defence line, gaining the Air Force Cross at his return. Interestingly a military journalist picked up the story and Dugan gave the following quote.

“Frankly, I don’t get why I’m getting a medal for courage, I mean I’m dropping bomb from them 10 000 miles up in the air away from the soviet and when they shoot me down my first reflex is to get the hell out of there, next time I got some Soviet up close I do like all the others and shoot right away until there some much corpses around me they let just have to back off!”
He then participated in the Norwegian campaign shortly after D-Day and was station in Oslo were he met his wife Gretta Stoltenberg, he married after his decommission where he returned to California. The marriage was known to be a particularly shaky one mostly because of Dugan famous womanizing way. While the numbers of his love conquest got lower with the years, it was reveal he had a long-term affair with an intern of the White House, however it was revealed in 1982 in a book by the said intern when both his presidency and the affair had ended. He always claimed that his wife was tougher than any man he ever met.
Dugan joined the Democrat Party in 1939 and in 1954 began electoral campaigning in his native Sacramento seeking a post in congress, which he mostly won over the major corruption scandal his opponent had to deal with. Still, Dugan quickly gain notoriety siding with the civil right movement, quickly earning a great reputation with baby boomers, becoming the president symbolic of this generation. He quickly manages to become governor of California in 1959. His two terms were marked by his liberal social agenda, however California deficit soared under his leadership, which crippled his chance at the nomination however by focusing on international politic and social question he eventually won.

In November 1968, the Democrat Party achieved electoral success and Dugan was inaugurated as President, narrowly defeating his Republican rival, Richard M. Nixon (both were from California, Dugan succeeded into taking the presidency mostly because he won California). Dugan quickly proposed a plan to ameliorate relationship between the United States, Europe and Soviet Union after the damage that Nixon did to the United States abroad. naming it tri-lateral diplomacy, seemingly making good progress, but obliviously his effort were laid to ruin by the soviet invasion.

The Soviet invasion of the United States on May 18th 1970 caught Dugan unawares and he was captured in the White House itself while under the influence of a Psychic Beacon, making an extremely embarrassing speech were he proclaim that soon the citizens of United States would swear allegiance to Premier Romanov. U.S forces were able to destroy the Psychic Beacon before any breach of information. He was later evacuated to Calgary for his safety until the retaken of the American capital. Facing lack of support from European allies he quickly focused on stimulating the industrial output of the midland and the South in order to counter the lost of the factory on the coast. However the psychic amplifier quickly put a dent into his plan and the lost of Chicago made him lost a major hub. Dugan kept on spending billions in federal money in order to cope with the unprepareness of the Americans forces and researching in the same exotic technology as the soviet.

During the Reykjavik summit was able to secure an American command to the allied expedition against the nuclear missiles in Poland and the start of a new world alliance against the Soviet Union. He quickly re-installed himself in the White house after taking back the Capital. He quickly made a speech on national television claming that the Soviet would be crush out of the United States and that Romanov would surrender before the end of first term. A rather daring statement but soon after crushing the soviet supply lines and their psychic technology the soviet quickly were in disarray and fleeing back to Moscow. Even thought the allies were winning on all front, the lost of General Thorn Carville profoundly (Dugan gave Carville eulogy).

After the war Dugan quickly faced criticism for his inability to bring back American economy of his feet after most of the country budget had been spent on the war. With the Yurian conflict Dugan was quick to recognise an American task force couldn’t be mount off to crush the conglomerate. So he helped mounted an international taskforce that even included Russia and participated in the summit in London is considered one of the ideological father of GDI.

After his re-election in 1972, he dedicate himself to the rebuilding of America, however he faced domestic disapproval as many conservative felt that the United States had now lost its status as main super power, a lot of the democrat were disappointed by his decision to abandon several social programs in order to focus on the reconstruction. His last major act as president was the innaguration of the construction of the Sears Tower, on the reconstruction site of Chicago (several landmark of the city are name after Dugan even though he wasn’t from Chicago or Illinois). He mostly focused his post-war work on international humanitarian causes. The ferocious party animal had become a very quiet man.

Micheal Dugan died in 1996, in the comfortable estate of his family, some believes the growth of tiberium in the city of Sacremento caused him fatal health problem, but most believed it was simply old age.

One of our fellow blackwave

General Dmitri Koravitch Vladimir, leader of the infamous invasion of America in the early 1970s by the Soviet Union, has gained a reputation for being a ruthless maniac in the Western world, and simply a drunken fool in modern Russia. The reasons stem down to his infamous nuking of Chicago and his ruthless, collateral damage promoting attitude, and his rusty tactics.

Born near Kazan in 1941 to a peasent family, Vladimir was brought up on tales of Bolshevik heroics against the 'Tsarist oppressors', but likewise became scornful of his sparse and poverty-striken surroundings. Due to the remote area in which he lived, he never got an opportunity to join the army during the Second World War, frustrating him deeply. As already meagre food supplies dropped and NKVD agents raided his family farm for army food, Vladimir gained a sense of posession and longing that would shape his entire life. Despite his experiances in the Second World War, he never entirely lost faith in communism and 'Mother Russia', and he ended up assisting NKVD agents in incarceting some of his own family members for refusing to yield food.

Following the war's end, Vladimir managed to join up in the greatly diminished Red Army at the age of 17 in 1958. As the former Soviet army was in great need of leaders and division commanders, he quickly rose through the ranks, despite that he had no overly exceptional skill, and soon was in control of the 17th tank division. In Soviet facilities in the Urals during the mid-1960s, Vladimir commenced tests of T-65 Rhino tanks, which would become the mainstay of Soviet armoured forces in the Third World War, and modified WW2 Mammoth tanks that would eventually evolved into the TAV-666 Apocalpyse Tank. His manouevres impressed onlooking Soviet Politburo members, who eventually made him deputy to Andrei Grechko, chief of the Soviet military. However, Grechko was killed in a strange accidnet in 1968 involving a test of a protoype T-BZZT 'tesla tank', and with the lack of alternatives Vladimir was finally promoted to chief of the Soviet Military.

In 1969, Vladimir was made privy to Romanov's plan of an invasion, and was tasked with the spearhead through Mexico into the Southern States. His tactics focused on blitzkrieg tank rushes coupled with mass infantry assaults. Red Army commentators noted that while there was no finesse to his tactics, they certaintly served their purpose. However, he got into a cold relationship from top Politburo advisor Yuri from their first meeting, and the two rarely got along.
In 1970, the invasion went underway. Vladimir's tank battalions surged through Texas and other southern states. He managed to seize a key airforce academy in Colarado, which was nonetheless retaken shortly after by a brilliant American general, superflous to name, who would go on to turn the tide of the war. Despite this setback, Vladimir continued with his plan, assisting a Soviet commander with an attack on an American naval base in Florida. Vladimir attempted to eliminate American naval presence personally from his flagship, famously boasting that a rubber duck could sink it, before he was driven away by Allied destroyers. Nonetheless, the naval base quickly fell thanks to a ground assault ochestrated by the other Soviet commander.

Vladimir continued to command Soviet advances into the US, although the war was starting to reveal his somewhat weak battle strategies. He also became increasingly attacted to American wealth and culture, having been in poverty for his youth, and some suspected him of being seduced by capitalist culture. Nonetheless, Vladimir continued with America's subjection, and soon afterwards he was tasked with defending a Psychic Amplifier device in Chicago from American resistance fighters. However, an Allied strikeforce managed to take out the device, prompting Vladimir in a fit of rage to launch a nuclear missile into the city, decimating it. This somewhat unwarranted act of destruction prompted Romanov to remove Vladimir from American command and transfer him to Pacific Operations, to deal with Korean advances into Soviet territory.

Following the liberation of Washington DC and the collapse of Soviet control in America, Vladimir was tasked with seizing the Hawaii islands, which would give the USSR control of the Pacific. He succeeded in destroying key allied bases in the area and launched a number of sorties into Pearl Harbour itself, but was ultimately repulsed by American, Korean and Canadian naval forces.

By now, Romanov seemed to believe that Vladimir was somewhat overrated as a commander, and had him transferred to the European front. There, Vladimir dealed with several skirmishes in Poland, and helped logistically with the attack on Einstein's facility in the Black Forest. At the same time, he was becoming increasingly aware of Yuri's somewhat disturbing influence over the premier, and had several arguements with the man. Suddenly, Vladimir found himself imprisoned by the KGB under the pretext of attempting to betray the Soviet Union. He was briefly freed after the Allies seized Moscow, but was sentenced along with other Soviet generals at Stockholm to life imprisonment for crimes against humanity. Vladimir tried to blame other Soviet commanders for his actions, and eventually, given his alcohol problems, was sentenced to a relatively meagre 15 years, in an act that was greatly controversial. Vladimir only served ten years of his sentence; he commited suicide in 1983 in prison.

Blackwave Einstein

Albert Einstein, arguably the most famous and prolific scientist of the 20th century, has also arguably influenced history like no other. No scientist's work has had such a great effect on the human race as his, and no man of science has more mystery and conspiracy surroudning him. As a result, it has been difficult to guage what is fact and what is faction, but there some facets of the man that are definite.

Einstein was born into a Jewish family in Ulm, Württemberg, Germany on March 14, 1879. In his early teens, Einstein attended the progressive Luitpold Gymnasium. His father intended for him to pursue electrical engineering, but Einstein clashed with authorities and resented the school regimen. He later wrote that the spirit of learning and creative thought were lost in strict rote learning.

Following graduation, Einstein could not find a teaching post. After almost two years of searching, a former classmate's father helped him get a job in Berne, at the Swiss Federal Institute of Intellectual Property. In 1905, while he was working in the patent office, Einstein had four papers published in the ''Annalen der Physik'', the leading German physics journal. These are the papers that history has come to call the 'Annus Mirabilis Papers':

His paper on the particulate nature of light put forward the idea that certain experimental results, notably the photoelectric effect, could be simply understood from the postulate that light interacts with matter as discrete "packets" quanta of energy, an idea that had been introduced by Max Planck in 1900 as a purely mathematical manipulation, and which seemed to contradict contemporary wave theories of light. This was the only work of Einstein's that he himself called "revolutionary."

In 1917, Einstein published an article in ''Physikalische Zeitschrift'' that proposed the possibility of stimulated emission, the physical process that makes possible the maser and the laser, and later the famous Prism Tech. He also published a paper introducing a new notion, the cosmological constant, into the general theory of relativity in an attempt to model the behavior of the entire universe.

Einstein traveled to New York City in the United States for the first time on April 21, 1921. When asked where he got his scientific ideas, Einstein explained that he believed scientific work best proceeds from an examination of physical reality and a search for underlying axioms, with consistent explanations that apply in all instances and avoid contradicting each other. He also recommended theories with visualizable results.

Einsten returned and continued to work in Germany in the 1930s, where rumour has it that along with many educated scientists, mostly Jews, he conducted experiments into matter transferal that would eventually produce the famous Chronosphere device. As the looming threat of Stalin's Soviet Union grew, Einstein's fame grew as some European leaders began to toy with the idea of finding military applications for the groundbeaking research Einstein was producing in Germany. Einstein, being a pacifist, objected to these ideas steadfastly.

However, a few years later, the European Alliance declared war on the Soviet Union in 1946 following Stalin's invasion of Finland. That same year, the Soviet Union, following intelligence discoveries concerning Einstein's new research, kidnapped him from his lab in Germany and took him to a coastal laboratory within Soviet territory. Nonetheless, Einstein was rescued by Tanya Adams, and apparently the experiance finally convinced him to commence military research for the Allies, albeit highly reluctantly. As the war went on, Einstein applied military purposes for his work, starting with the Philadelphia experiment in 1948, where he and his research team successfully phased the USS Elridge out of space and time for a few seconds using a tesla coil array. Einstein managed to perfect the control element in his German laboratory even as it came under Soviet attack. Following that assault, Einstein was relocated to America, where he worked on 'gap generator' radar jamming technology. Rumours abound that in the war, he managed to apply his chronosphere technology to individual vehicles, but as far as can be told this technology was not widespread, perhaps for fear of it falling into Soviet hands.

By the end of the war, Einstein had perfected a chronosphere device, a machine for tactical teleportation, the result of years of intensive research since the 1930s. Using this device, the Allies finally secured victory. Einstein was given appropiate credit in media outlets worldwide, making him an iconic figure. Following the war, Einstein returned to Germany, where he continued his scientific work. In the 1960s, Einstein tried to find ways to apply his teleporation technology for peaceful purposes, and succeeded in construction several prototypes for teleporting mining and ore extraction vehicles, to accelerate resource allocation for construction purposes. During this time, he also made accidental breakthroughs into climate manipulation, after he found that appropiate magnetic field projection could create localised electrical discharges with the same effect and appearance as an intense lightning storm. Fearing that this new discovery might be used for the wrong purposes, Einstein filed the appropiate research away.

Einstein's experiance in WW2 had given him a new care for life and he took care of his health better. As a result, he lived into his nineties into the seventies, by which he had made a number of breakthroughs, not all of which he had publicised. However, a number of countries now made use of his 'chrono miner' technologies for resource gathering. In 1970, at the eruption of the Third World War, Einstein continued research from his laboratory in the Black Forest region. He remained uninvolved in the war until Soviet nuclear weapons facilities in Poland were eliminated, sparing Europe from nuclear threat. Grateful, the German government instructed him to release some of his research with military applications to the Americans, for the sake of peace. Reluctantly, Einstein unveiled his research into light refraction, or 'prism tech', which could be used as a light projection system with anti-armour applications. Einstein's 'prism towers', defensive structures that made first use of this, were used in the American liberation of Washington DC, turning the tide of the war. Einstein continued to focus on prism technology, eventually scaling it down so that it could be used on vehicles, resulting in new 'prism tanks', armoured vehicles equipped with prism weapons, that had formidable firepower.

Einstein's life came at risk when a Soviet battalion launched an assault on his Black Forest lab in 1972. In this battle, Einstein released his 'mirage technology', the result of his research in the 1960s, which involved the projection of the appearance of a nearby object around a certain radius. This was applied to new 'mirage tanks', which proved capable of disguising themselves as nearby objects, usually trees, that served in the defence of his lab.

Grateful for the Allies for saving his life, Einstein finally decided to help them end the war once and for all with his Chronosphere. Having worked out over many years the perfect place in the magnetosphere to place the Chronosphere for a mass-long distance teleportation, which turned out to be the Florida keys, Einstein also designed a mass climate manipulation device for focused, devastating lightning storms, after digging up the appropiate paper from the 60s, and created the epitome of his teleporation technology, a chrono suit that allowed the wearer to teleport to any co-ordinates in a vicinity, and a neutron projection rifle that could erase objects from time. These new technologies were put to use in the capture of Moscow, which ended the war.

This was not the end of Einstein's involvement in conflict, however. Immediately after the end of the war, Einstein travelled to California for a physics lecture, when the infamous Yuri Incident occured, brainwashing most of the world. However, Einstein managed to prepare a vehiclar version of his Chronosphere, allowing an Allied taskforce to travel back in time and avert the disaster. In the new, slightly altered timeline, Einstein was kidnapped from his lab by Yuri followers to improve the range of a Psychic Domintor device, but was rescued. Einstein produced the same technologies in this timeline as he had in the previous, quicker now with future intelligence. By the end of this, however, he was exhausted due to old age and years of intensive research. He retired to a home in New York following the end of the Yuri Conflict, and approved of the UN's decision to destroy and ban his various chrono, mirage, prism and weather control technologies. Einstein disposed of the blueprints, and in 1975, at the age of 94, he died of heart failure. Although few traces of his work remain, he has been remembered as one of, if perhaps the, greatest scientist(s) of all time.

my Bernia

Lavrenty Beria

Head of the Commissariat for Internal Affairs (NKVD) from 1938 until his death by poisoning in 1946, Beria sadistic reputation apparently went on toward his organisation as it viciousness grew with his power within Soviet Union. While considerably fear in both Soviet Union and in other part of the world, his reputation was supersede by his successor, possible mistress and likely murderer: Nadia Kulashenka who intensified the violence of the NKVD toward European both Soviet and European.

Born in Georgia, he joined the Bolshevik during the Russian revolution, much of his past is hazy due to secretive nature of his work however, he has been know to have worked in security force in Azerbaija in 1919 and to have joined the Cheka in the early 1920s. During the August uprising in Georgia against the Soviet Union, he led the repression against the revolt and ordered over 10 000 execution.

Beria rise power was mostly concentrate in the transcaucasian region however, in 1926, he quickly associates himself with Stalin and largely helped him (though it might have just had been to protect his own ambition) in taking over the Soviet Union. After becoming secretary to the region in 1931 he quickly purged member of the party.

Beria finally became the leader of the NKVD in 1938 expanding starting the great purge, leading to so much death within the Soviet Union it crippled it. He even purged half of the organisation to replace theses lost with people thoroughly loyal with Bernia.

The Chinese conflict with U.S.S.R. proved to be the apex of Beria power as he forged report about Chinesse incursions through the Soviet Union. Some Soviet archive led to believe that Bernia moved large amount of Chinese to the frontier into camp controlled by the NKVD executing any that dare trying to escape using terror tactic to make believe of gathering armies.

With the successful instalment of Mao Zedong in China, he personally monitored the operation of the NKVD in China, officially to help the People republic police itself after decades of troubles, but mostly to control the action of Chinese communists as NKVD officers routinely executed Chinese agents. Beria himself came (or was sent by Stalin) to China on several occasions. His affair with Nadia Kulashenka is guessed to have started around that period.

In the years following the conquest of China, Beria re-directed the NKVD focus toward the European Alliance. Some said that he personally oversaw the torture of the three EDA agents that led to political crisis that led to World War II. However, like most who gathered power in Soviet Union during the era his relationship with Stalin quickly disintegrate. Some historians belive that Beria was maybe organizing a coup against Stalin as the war started, hoping that the European Alliance would bring him support in exchange for peace, but no hard evidence were ever provide. It is even harder to dertermine the truth of those allegation as he was found dead holding a poisoned cup of tea in a Moscow hotel October 12 1946.

Beria was never fully disgrace by the Soviet Union even during the war, with Kulashenka only intensifying the viciousness of the NKVD. His reputation somehow got milder through the post-war years. Alexander Romanov alleged said to KGB officials at the start of World War III "to be like Beria not Nadia". Still,his reputation as sadistic individual leading to the death of millions remained through the years.
 
If you follow the story line of RA3 then there should not have even been a Red Alert War at all. Removing Einstein before Einstein removed Hitler would result in Hitler rising to power and starting World War II as per OTL.

This thread works under the assumption that RA3 is a continuation of RA2.

Not really, as if you follow some fan theories it merely affects the red alert timeline, as Einstein had already removed Hitler by 1927. Think of it as an alternate universe of an alternate universe. And having RA3 as direct from RA2 is somewhat faulty logically too, but anyway, let me have a try:

Minoru Genda

One of the most notable minds of the Empire of the Rising Sun, Minoru Genda was born in 1904 and ochestrated the attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941 that gained Japan control of the Hawaii and by extension the Pacific. Following this, he was responsible for putdown of rebellions in Indonesia and the Phillipines using Japan's navy around 1949. During the 1960s, when Japan kept out of global affairs, he was responsible for testing out new Japanese naval and amphibious technologies, along with newer and younger Japanese leaders such as Naomi Shirada, one of the first women shoguns of the traditionalist Empire. Due to his old age and aversion to Japan's new advances, his influence in the navy greatly dimished over the years. When Japan commenced its attack on the world, he led attacks on North Australia and Allied shipping in the Pacific, but was killed following the battle of Tokyo when his Shogun battleship was sunk in a Vindicator air raid.
 
Plus if we include Red Alert 3 won't it throw the timelime seriously out of wack I mean in Red Alert 2, Hawaii is american while in 3 its Japanese (and it have been for a while) plus Red Alert 3 take place somewhere in the now, Korea probably wouldn't be independant like in number 2

Dag Hammarskjöld: Prime Minister of Sweden during the Third World War, he was quick to pressure the European Alliance into supporting the United States after its invasion. He was victim of an assassination attempt by KGB after sabotaging his plane. He stayed crippled and scared for the rest of his life. He managed to stay in power afterward and sucessfully push for a balancement between American and Europeans force in the alliance.

His face on the 10 euro bill

Guys, what about Kane. He was in RA1

And does Tiberium factor into this as Tiberium is supposed to land in Italy in the mid '90's and Kane kinda takes the Soviet Union and changes it into Nod while NATO kinda turns into the GDI
 
Say what happen to Franco and Spain in general?

Guys, what about Kane. He was in RA1

And does Tiberium factor into this as Tiberium is supposed to land in Italy in the mid '90's and Kane kinda takes the Soviet Union and changes it into Nod while NATO kinda turns into the GDI

Well Kane was a shadowly figure in Red Alert I he seem like an advisor to Stalin but other than that he's not much

Pretty sure they would have destroy soviet union after the second red war
