cold war atl

Inspired by this thread:https://www.alternatehistory.com/forum/threads/is-a-maoist-us-alliance-feasible.419177/ So with a POD no sooner than 1945, though it can either before or after WWII ends for all I care, how can you make the OTL Cold War less about the ideologies of Communism vs...

People often talk about what if the Korean War ended in a Southern victory (that basically reunifies the peninsula) or one where nukes get used on China but why not both? Granted this would have to take either the reluctance of Truman to accept the usage of nuclear weapons or his absence to...

Say if Nixon where to win the 1960 election through a variety of things (being able to avoid getting injured which harmed his appearances during the debates), how would his presidency in 1961 affect the world scene? Would the Bay of Pigs invasion get affected? What of the Berlin Crisis? What of...

Inspired by Ace009's thread about making a WWIII that starts in 1973, I've taken upon myself to do the same with one that happens in the early 60's, though it is for my TL. Edit: Once had a "conventional first" requirement but I removed it recently due to research related issues of how a better...

As you all know in the 1980s, as a result of Jim Carter's policy, the US economy was shaken by the economic situation, which led to mass protests and the collapse of the state. Before that, left-wing radical movements in Europe intensified. Thus, the cold war ended in the victory of the Union of...

Looks like there are a whole host of brilliant WW3 ATLs here on AH.com; however, I've noticed that pretty much all of them end with the USA and NATO emerging victorious, and all traces of the Soviet Union and the Warsaw Pact dying in an unparalleled nuclear holocaust. As such, your challenge is...

I just had this thought last night after reading this: http://althistory.wikia.com/wiki/Rep%C3%BAblica_Popular_Argentina_(Red_Sun_Setting). However the "POD" of that unfortunately unfinished scenario involves a random attack on Peron that honestly sounds ASB to me so I went with the idea of...

https://exploredia.com/top-ten-technologies-we-have-because-of-the-cold-war/ While we know of some technological progress made during the Cold War (and that I gathered from this forum that the Cold War possibly held back progress in some fields), how advanced would TTL's 2017 be in comparison...

From what I gathered, Yugoslavia's collapse IOTL came when communism as a force was dying out and that the USSR was dead by then and that if Yugoslavia collapsed earlier during the Cold War, both NATO and the Warsaw Pact would get involved. With a POD involving Tito dying in the 1970's and...

As the all know, the horrific conditions of the Great War and the resulting chaos in Europe forced the Entente and the Central Powers to sign an armistice, ending the Great War in a stalemate. There was a state of geopolitical tension and proxy wars between the Entente and the Central Powers...

June 12, 2026 Freedom Square Quezon City, Philippines 10:34 AM UTC+8 "...THE day was Independence Day in the Philippines. Filipinos from all walks of life went to celebrate the day the Filipinos were finally free from centuries of oppression and destitution. I could still remember the time when...

Hello, gentlemen and welcome to Earth.....in the year 1973. The 1970s were a time of change, of upheaval, of conflicts, and detenté. Among said conflicts, was a military conflict in the Middle East called the Yom Kippur War. For those that have not paid attention in history class, I will mention...

So, this being an alternate history where the Yom Kippur War started WWIII, we need to start planning things out: first, a course of events that transcribe throughout the conventional WWIII that lasts for at least 3 weeks, and then culminating in 2017/2018, depending on the progress of the...

With a POD sometime before 1973 that allows the survival of South Vietnam (say the US were more decisive in defeating North Vietnam during the Easter Offensive or if Watergate gets avoided), and that North Vietnam is unwilling to continue on with their reunification efforts for a while, how...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Breakup_of_Yugoslavia So how can this be achieved between 1945 and 1991? One thing is necessary is the death of Tito since it's agreed upon by many that the man himself held the county together.

Now I'm working with something that not a lot of people have done and that is the idea of a 1979 Sino-Soviet war after China attacks Vietnam similar to OTL's Sino-Vietnamese war, with a POD in 1976 where the Gang of Four weren't overthrown but instead allowed the very incompetent Wang Hongwen to...

This a TL were German Empire win World War I and how it evolve in coming years But before i start to write it here, i want to make here preliminary studies to get the bugs outs. I hope this Synopsis is usable base for this TL or what you think ? Synopsis: With Pod in 1917 get Germany...

Let's go for an arbitrary POD of 1836. Could we see a gradual showing of a cold war between Democratic and Absolute Monarchism powers? They have to be relatively balanced in power scale to create a cold war, possibly make it so that a Atomic bomb development earlier makes it far more like a...

I just thought of something that might interest those that want to do something with a Nazi US cold war: a third world war occurring in that time. Now obviously it would be closer to Calbear's excellent Anglo-American Nazi War than any other WWIII TL, be they conventional, nuclear, or in...
