In 1986, the cold war goes hot and world war 3 starts.
It's a non-nuclear ww3. The war theatre is in europe (
Warsaw Pact), the middle east (Iraq, Yemen, Syria, and Egypt), asia (North Korea) and the artic (Alsaka, canadian artic). The war lasts from 1986 to 1993. The reason for the start is unimportant, what
is important is how the war affects Canada.
Domestic:
What affects would there be on the Canadian economy, society, and government? Would we go to a war economy, Would there be rationing, what about the political climate, propaganda, etc?...
War:
How would the canadian military fare in this war? Where would the Canadian Forces be deployed, what equipment would it use, How would the security of the canadian mainland be handled, etc?...
Anything else?
I'll use the answers here in a canada TL (bare bones right now) i'm planing.
