WWIII Alternative Outcome is an alternate history page within the alternate history world of Atlantic Resolve and gives an overview on what might've happened had the All Russian Federation won the Third World War.


 * 28 September 2016: Russian military invades the US Pacific Northwest and NATO Eastern Europe. Colonel General Vyacheslav Borisov is leading Russian Forces in North America while Colonel General Sergei Surovikinis leading Russian Forces in Eastern Europe.
 * 25 October 2016: Federation Occupational Authority - North America is formed by Russian commanders to govern the local population. General Borisov - Prefect of the occupational government - determines Alternative Right member Lana Lokteff to be far too unstable and instead chooses to appoint someone more moderate as the top ranking US representative in the FOA.
 * 5 November 2016: Lana Lokteff attempts to create a Cascadian People's Republic but is prevented from doing so when both her and her followers are arrested by the Federal Security Service of the All Russian Federation (FSB) for rebellious activities.
 * 8 November 2016: Democratic ticket of Bernie Sanders and Tulsi Gabbard defeated the Republican ticket of Ted Cruz and Carly Fiorina.
 * 30 November 2016: Russian forces occupying the Pacific Northwest coast launch a major ground offensive. With the Pacific Northwest insurgency deemed a minor nuisance, majority of combat units take part while security is primarily handled by the FSB and the Russian Military Police of Russia.
 * 20 January 2017: Bernie Sanders becomes the 45th President of the United States with inauguration taking place in Cheyenne Mountain for security reasons.
 * 28 January 2017: Russian forces wins the Battle of Tszew and secures a bridge across the Vistula River.
 * 5 February 2017: Russian reinforcements arrive in Gdańsk, preventing a German-led NATO counterattack which was scheduled to begin that same day.
 * 14 February 2017: Russian forces win the Battles of Okanogan, Yakima, Bend, Klamath Falls, Yreka, and Arcata, thereby breaking through US National Guard lines.
 * 25 February 2017: Russian forces win the Battle of Gdańsk and secured their first significant foothold west of the Vistula River. NATO quickly shifted its frontline forces in attempt to contain the Russian breakthrough.
 * 17 March 2017: Russian forces in Eastern Europe wins the Battles of Toruń, Płock, Warsaw, Tarnobrzeg, and Kraków, thereby breaking through NATO lines. Around the same time, Russian forces in North America successfully reached the Columbia River in Washington State and the mountain passes of Central Oregon.
 * 8 April 2017: Russian forces in Eastern Europe and North America resume offensive operations after spending several weeks consolidating and regrouping. NATO throws everything they have to hold back the Russian offensive.
 * 22 April 2017: Russian forces break through NATO lines along the western bank of the Vistula River and begin their push towards the Oder-Neisse line.
 * 25 April 2017: (Nuclear escalation) On orders from President Bernie Sanders, the US detonated several tactical nuclear devices over advancing Russian troops in Poland and hit Russian forces on the Pacific Northwest Front with conventional MOABs. Russian forces on both fronts immediately halted all offensive operations and assumed defense positions. In retaliation for the use of tactical nuclear weapons, Russian Borei-class submarines off the US West and East Coasts launched a nuclear counterforce strike against the Minuteman ICBM bases as well as strategic bomber bases throughout the United States. Simultaneously, the Russians launched nuclear-armed anti-ship ballistic missiles (ASBNs) against all confirmed and suspected locations of US Ohio-class submarines as well as multiple US carrier strike groups. US President Bernie Sanders starts to issue a strategic launch order but is cut off when Air Force One is destroyed during takeoff from a nuclear warhead hitting Peterson AFB. By the time Vice-President Tulsi Gabbard is sworn in as the 46th President of the United States, it was too late: America's entire strategic nuclear triad was destroyed and now faced the prospect of disproportionate annihilation. To prevent this, President Gabbard ordered all US forces worldwide to ceasefire.
 * 30 April 2017: United States of America unconditionally surrenders to the All Russian Federation. With the Americans effectively knocked out of the fighting, all remaining NATO and other Allied countries sue for peace.
