cuban missile crisis

I've re-read the original thread and found several holes in the plot I'm not happy with. As a result, I'm re-launching the thread. Without further ado: Three Men, One Island - A Cuban Missile Crisis Timeline [REDUX] "It shall be the policy of this Nation to regard any nuclear missile...

This seems to be a discussion that comes up a lot vis a vis Cuban war TLs, and I think its worth trying to pin down some sort of consensus that isn't just people talking past each other. According to "The Cuban Missile Crisis: A nuclear order of battle, October and November 1962," "The Soviet...

In this timeline, Cuba Invades Mexico in the Cuban Missile Crisis with the help of the USSR, which threatens the US and NATO to unify into the North Atlantic Republic and invades Finland, planting bombs there. The Soviets assassinate JFK in 1962, which triggers the 3rd World War. This was the...

If, in 1962, the United States launched airstrikes and/or an invasion of Cuba during the missile crisis, would it cause war to break out in other parts of the world like Germany?

- Hey there BLC!! - Hello voice of doubt in my head. - What's this? - Urm... just a little side project. - Whatever happened to "War makes for Strange Bedfellows" - Oh it's still alive, don't worry. That's still my priority. I'm still working on the next chapters. - So why this? - Well, the...

There are several threads about 1960 Nixon victory against JFK and its consequences, but I haven't seen any about potential democratic president after Nixon. Ok, let's say that Nixon victory in 1960 leads to the successful US invasion of Cuba instead of IRL Bay of Pigs and the Cuban Missile...

A/N: I made the first two parts of this timeline a while age, now I am posting them to this site with some rewriting. I will be posting the next two parts over the next few days, then I a going to finish writing part three and make even more of them. Anyways I hope you enjoy! Introduction: In...

“...According to our sources, the Blockade on the Isle of Cuba is at and end. We will bring you more information as it comes in” News Coverage, October 30th “The Cuban Missile Crisis’ resolution precipitated a collapse of confidence that shook the Kennedy administration to its core…” Loch...

I've been thinking about this lately and I'm not sure about the plausibility but let's say Castro identifies as a social democrat and rules with social democratic policies but due to staunch due to his staunch anti us imperialism beliefs aligns with the soviets and like OTL meddles in other...

So let’s say that Nixon didn’t have a bout of fever, laid off of the chocolate milk, and had a shave ahead of the debate with Kennedy and comes off better than IOTL. Whatever is the most plausible POD, Richard Nixon is elected President in 1960. What kind of foreign policy would President Nixon...

The Four Horsemen: the Nuclear Apocalypse of 1962 Prologue Fortunately for a generation of post-war historians seeking to explain how World War III came about, there is a fairly abundant amount of sources available. This may seem surprising given the enormous amount of devastation inflicted by...

My impression is that the consensus on this website is that in a scenario where the Cuban Missile Crisis had led to a full-blown nuclear conflict, the Eastern Bloc would have been knocked back to the Stone Ages and Western Europe would have been left little better, but that the America would...

So I've been on a Cuban Missile War kick as of late. What major conflicts would occur in the 21st century, nearly 50 years after the nuclear exchange and reconstruction?

Based on my understanding of the Cold War, the Cuban Missile Crisis was understandably a major contributor to the later U.S. policy of detente towards the Soviet Union. However, the official detente period didn't actually begin until years later when the first round of anti-nuclear proliferation...

What if, instead of organizing a rag-tag group of Cuban exiles to invade Cuba and overthrow Castro, either Eisenhower or Kennedy recognizes the scheme won't work and they shut down the invasion plans? Would Castro still become a Communist and move into the Soviet sphere of influence? How would...

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

Could after an alternate timeline were the CMC became World War Three and the ensuing chaos after the Nuclear War caused the US, Canada and Mexico to lose some states? Is it possible or not? How would recovery last long? Which states would secede from their mother nation?

There have been plenty of threads discussing the likely ramifications of 1962's Cuban Missile Crisis spiraling into a full nuclear war between the United States and the Soviet Union. While I'm not an expert in the technical matters relevant to such a discussion, I can glean from such threads...

How realistic would the population be if the Cuban Missile Crisis escalated to a Global War which then became a Nuclear War, killing millions of people. Realistically the USSR would fall but the USA would survive but losing majority of it's population, basically losing it's economy and etc...

October 16, 1962: You are the President of the United States, and American intelligence reports that the Soviet Union is planting missile silos in Cuba, only ninety miles from US shores. Your response will determine the fate of the world. Any single miscalculation could increase global tensions...
