cold war atl

Hello everyone, this is my first TL here, so please go easy on me. Red Wave: A World Bathed in Crimson asks the question, "What if the Soviet Union 'won' the Cold War?" Yes, I am aware that TLs that take place during the Cold War are a bit overdone here, but this period of history is my area...

I have allways been interested in this topic, and decided to write a proto-timeline about it. Parts of it are inspired by the video games "Crisis in the Kremlin", "Ostalgie" and "Mao's Legacy", as these games actually provide a good insight into the history and pollitics of many countries (even...

I recall this post made by RanulfC from a previous thread about the effects of a US-UN victory in the Korean War: Well all that sounds good for the US but I kind of wonder how would the other countries be effected in terms of military strategy and whatnot? Will the UK and France follow the...

The Kennedy Trials (Then Senator John F Kennedy giving a speech on Germany infiltration of the United State at the National Press Club) After the loss of most of Europe, part of Central Africa and all of the Eastern Europe to the Nazis. Both the US and UK began to safeguard their nation from...

When it comes to having a conventional World War Three, it's usually in the 80's, of which I find a bit overrated, though granted at the time NATO's military is at least on par with the Warsaw Pact's and that the USSR was on the decline by the end of the decade. In the 60's however (to my...

It was perhaps Good fortune that Abraham Lincoln had died the man was a fool To think that the southern states could be kept in check with negotiation And Hollow threats alone. No the only language these barbarians understand is violence indeed how can one subjugate his fellow man And expect...

OTL, Cheng Kai Shek, in order to devastate the communists and rebellions in China, became far more autocratic than he already was and singed the Triangle Alliance with Hitler and Mussolini. Japan, wary of this revitalizing china and the fact the Hirohito Purges had killed many valuable, if...

So I'm just wondering, how might the Cold War change if the Soviets didn't take France during the Second World War? I was inspired to make this thread by another poster saying that Soviet France was one of the most ASB moments of OTL? So how would a Capitalist France effect the ongoing Cold War?

A challenge: With a WW2 PoD anytime after the beginning of Operation Barbarossa in June 1941, how can we craft a scenario whereas Nazi Germany fails in its grand strategic goals, but survives in Germany (perhaps with a few puppet states) after a successful defensive effort or negotiations with...

So, I was thinking of ways and things that "could be different" if the USSR was still around "to the present day". One of the things I thought of, initially for during the 1980s, but it could easily apply to any point during the Cold War, was basically the early reunification of Germany. Both...

I read Christian Ditfurths, 'Die Mauer steht am Rhein' (the wall stands on the rhine) a few weeks ago, and as a german I found it especially fascinating. But the story ends in 1999 (the year the book was published), with the detenté that followed the USAs and USSRs 'division of the world'...

Lets say D-Day fails, or the soviets do better against the nazis on the eastern front, leading to the red army liberating all of europe. As we know from OTL, the soviets were able to greatly boost the popularity of communist parties in the liberated nations, leading to communist takeovers via...

Releated to another thread of mine, what would have happened if the US proved weak in the fight against global communism? Say for example, they back down during the cuban missile crisis or leave Vietnam early. Is there a real chamce that a 'The heartland of capitalism doesn't even try to defend...

What would happen? How would the cold war evolve? Could communism win if the US proved to be weak in fighting against it?

United India has been my personal most researched Alternate history, I wanted to know how Would it Look, here is the Scenario - Jinnah does not return to India after leaving congress in 1920s. he spends the rest of his life in England, thus the Muslim League does not gain Steam due to not...

Which PODs could possibly lead to a Soviet Cold War Victory? Bonus if its after 1945. Super Bonus if its after 1963.

Decided to restart my Timeline and move the POD to 1960s Middle East 1960s The formation of Ba’athist lead United Arab Federation would divided the Pan-Arab movement into Nasserist and Ba’athist factions. The union of Syria and Iraq formed in 1964 following the defeat of Syrian Nasserist coup...

Is it possible for the Sino-Soviet split to turn into a full scale war and have the west back China?

http://www.globeatwar.com/article/there-end-us-16th-armored-division%E2%80%99s-liberation-Plzen It seemed that ol' Gen "I Read Your Book!" Patton was quite set on taking the city of Prague right as the uprising there took place and before the Soviets came in. Understandably, the Allied high...

The ongoing olympic games and my interest for a soviet-victory timeline raised the question: How would sports develope in this TL? Who would dominate the olypics (eastern bloc nations were very successfull OTL)? Who would be the leading soccer nations? United DDR winning 2014 soccer World cup...
