Judgment Day: 1962

Welcome to Judgment Day: 1962.

This timeline explores the history of the world after Judgment Day, October 27th, 1962.

Our Point of Divergence is on October 27th, 1962. Soviet nuclear missiles have been placed on Cuba, but instead of forming a blockade against Cuba, President John F. Kennedy launches an invasion of the small socialist island nation. In response Castro orders the launch of the warheads in his possesion, and World War Three has begun.

The U.S is swift to respond by launching their missiles at Cuba and Russia. Britain still relied too much on their nukes being delivered by bombing planes, so therefore they were not able to make much of a difference. And France's nuclear weapons program was still too young.

That night between the 27th and the 28th, thousands of nuclear missiles danced across the skies, and 48 hours later, the war was over. There were no winners, only losers. The world was changes forever, and from this point on, what is left of humanity must do whatever is in their power to survive.
