Challange: Soviets win World War III

Make the Soviets win World War III by attacking Europe in 1951 after the UN intervenes in the Korean War. As American troops are distracted, Stalin attacks Europe. Make an outcome so that the Soviets find victory.

It is not implausible that the West may find themselves in the position of having to nuke their own allied people or make concessions. It will be as far as Victory could possibly go. The Soviet Union may win a neutral West Germany, have Iran and Turkey pulled into its sphere of influence and assume complete control over the Baltic and Black Seas.

The United States had vowed the use of nuclear weapons to hold their lines in Europe, but it is not impossible for NATO powers to pressure the United States to defer that decision. If Deferred long enough, the Soviet Union may be able to convert its military advantage in a political settlement that slightly favors it, but only if the Soviets can achieve this measure of success on the battlefield without the United States responding in nuclear attack.

It's a narrow window and one that will intensify, not end, the cold war.
