The Fall of the United States

Welcome to the main page for the article The Fall of the United States(1973)! This alternate history explains what would happen if the 1973 "Oil Crisis" would have led to the destablization and ultimate crippling of the United States economy, the Soviet Union invades, and wins easily.

The Embargo
The 1967 Oil Embargo began on June 6, 1967, one day after the beginning of the Six-Day War, with a joint Arab decision to deter any countries from supporting the Isreal military. Several Middle Eastern countries eventually halted their oil shipments. The Oil Embargo significantly decreased the amount of oil available in the United States and the United Kingdom, and all nations that have oil-dependant economies.(Exept the Soviet Union, which special exeptions were placed, because of the recent secret sale of nuclear weapons to the Arab nations, excluding Isreal) The Soviet officials see this as a chance to conquer the United States.

The Fall
Once the Soviet Union commences it's attack on the US, the US officials are terrified. The Canadian government declares a state of emergency, for the Canadian officials have just witnessed the only defender of them, now that the United Kingdom has also fallen from a German invasion(on Soviet orders), fall. The Mexican Government declares war on Cuba, in a desperate hope to destroy communism, for they would have tried to hopelesly attack the Soviets if (or, more accurately, "if") they defeated Fidel Castro's communist Cuba.

After The Fall
With the United States out of the way, and the United Nations disbanded, the (Newly renamed)USCE(United Socialist Communist Empire) sets it's sights of Afganistan, West Germany, Yugoslavia, and Finland. All of the nations quickly fall, exept for Afganistan, which, in real life, pushes the USSR out, but in this timeline, falls after almost two years of fighting, with help from Al-Qaida. After the USCE takes over Afganistan, Osama Bin Laden is exucuted in Volgograd.(Something the US has yet to do)

List of Resisting Nations
These nations, although internationally recognised by the UWCN(Union of World Communist Nations) as communist puppet states, are controlled by democratic revolutionaries.(Trinidad and Tobago split into two differant nations in 2001, Nova Scotia broke away from Canada after a puppet of Stalin took over and declared Canada a communist nation, and the Netherlands, Belgium, and Luxembourg united to defend themselves from West German invasion during The War of 1982)
