This is a list of Nuclear based Alternative histories. Feel free to add your own.
- 1962: First Strike
- Attempts to bring a peaceful end to the Cuban Missile Crisis fail resulting in a nuclear confrontation between the two superpowers.
- 1981: Red dawn
- Russia invades west Germany. All countries of the world sign the Non-nuclear treaty, vowing not to launch missiles. The war ends bitterly as Russia pulls back in defeat.
- 1983: Doomsday
- POD is one of the most dangerous moments in the 20th century: On September 26, 1983 Stanislav Petrov is n o t the officer on duty at the Serpukhov-15 bunker near Moscow. Soviet satellites suddenly report a series of American missiles launched at the Soviet Union. The duty officer reports and Soviets launch what they think is a counter-strike of their full nuclear arsenal, leading to a massive nuclear exchange between USA, USSR and China devastating wide parts of the world.
- Now, nearly 25 years later, mankind is still fighting for survival. New coalitions and alliances have emerged from the ruins of near-total nuclear destruction and all survivors are awaiting the September 26th, 2008 League of Nations foundation ceremony which represents the first sign of a hopefully more peaceful future for mankind.
Robert Tesvelle, the CEO of New Horizons, is granted the Swedish government's nuclear program contract. He plans to cause a nuclear apocalypse, and then build a utopian society out of the ruins. He detonates a nuclear bomb in Sweden and the blame game begins, and soon the USA and USSR both mobilize their nuclear weapons against each other. As the nuclear war plays out, a nuclear winter begins, which lasts for ten years.
- Don't even think about screwing democracy over
- Vietnam goes NUCLEAR! Beatniks in the USA try overthrowing the existing order and FAIL! The military-industrial complex is OVERTHROWN! and small scale arms manufacturers RETURN TO POWER! Just in time too, because MANUAL NORWAYGAY! decides to EXECUTE! a CIA SECRET AGENT! And once that's over, SADDAM INSANE invades Kuwait. And fails. Because you can't screw LIBERTY, FREEDOM and DEMOCRACY!!!!
- Even worse troubles
- The USA and USSR ratify SALT 3 and significantly reduce their nuclear stockpiles. However, two warheads go missing and are used in the Troubles. The Cold War takes a new turn with Ireland being divided just like Germany
- Hitler is an American---Version 1
- Adolf Hitler is born and raised in North America, thus, WWII as we know it does not occur, because Hitler is an American. In this version he is conservative.
- Nuclear weapons (Hitler is an American---Version 1)
- specific nuclear article
- Nazi Nukes
- In the world of Nazi Nukes Hitler never exiled his Jewish scientists, including Einstein. This led to the Americans not being able to develop the nuclear weapons, but more importantly, the Nazis were able to develop better weaponry, including nuclear weapons during the war. And by 1941 with the help of the Jewish scientists the Nazis had developed their first nuclear bomb.
- No Nuclear Weapon
- In 1921 promising German theoretical physicist Albert Einstein dies in his first visit to the USA. He never makes contact with Ernest Rutherford or Leó Szilárd and the Manhattan Project never born. A world without useful atomic energy, a world without the Person of the Century.
- Nuclear Realisation
- Albert Einstein changes his mind over his support for Nuclear Weaponry in 1939.
- Sacrifice of Angel's
- A time rift opens up shortly before WWII, and bombs from a nuclear war fall through. Later, a deadly disease ravages the globe, and is only stopped by a winter that kills many more. As a result, Hitler is killed, the US collapses into civil war, and Russia is totally depopulated.
- Shock and Awe: The Second Korean War
- Clinton makes up his mind to teach Kim Jong Il the hard way that developing a nuclear weapons program isn't as easy as it looks.
- World War III-1956
- Lester Pearson's UN solution fails and the Soviets aid Nasser repel the British, French, and Israeli forces. Escalation leads to World War-III.
- What Might Have Been
- An "althist within an althist" at which Kennedy lost the 1960 U.S. Presidential election to Richard Nixon who subsequently drew the U.S. into a limited nuclear exchange with the Soviets over Cuba. The difference between this althist and others is that it is written from the perspective of someone in that timeline, in which our timeline is the real althist.
