Arab June



Last updated 29 Oct 2012

Hello, I'm Pavillion, and this is my new timeline - Arab June.

I've decided to start a new Althist after my last one (Frisian Empire) failed. This time, I'm planning to create a detailed Althist for entertainment and interest purposes. Creating an Althist gives opportunity for research, exploration and understanding. It intrigues us, as humans, to know that even the smallest of decisions can affect the world for centuries. This is why I love Althistory Wiki - it lets us band together and explore ourselves and the world we live in through an often neglected medium.

'This Althist is currently a solo project - please do not edit anything, but suggest changes on talkpages. Thanks!'

Point of Divergence
The major point of divergence in Arab June occurs during the Six-Day War (OTL link), in which Israel's surprise bombing raid on Egypt failed. The powerful Jordanian radar facility at Ajloun detected waves of aircraft approaching Egypt and reported the code word for "war" up the Egyptian command chain - Egyptian command and communications problems in OTL never occurred, meaning that the message reached the targeted airfields and gave them time to prepare. The efforts of Israeli forces are further hampered hampered by hardened aircraft shelters and more modern surface-to-air missile batteries at Egyptian airfields.

Israel never gained air superiority during the war, and the United Arab Republic (Egypt and Syria)'s aircrafts used bombing and strafing tactics to destory Israeli outposts. Israel proceeded with its invasion of Sinai (as in OTL), but Major General Israel Tal has been killed during the Suez War and was therefore not able to provide the tank strategy of the invasion to the Israeli government that won the war.

With air forces concentrated in Sinai and land forces concentrated in Syria, the United Arab Republic managed to capture most of the Israeli Coast and together with the Jordanian Army and the newly-involved Lebanese Army, they marched to Jerusalem.where they were kept at bay by Israeli forces until a huge bombing strike by Lebanon paved the way for an Arab victory in the June War - this June was an Arab June.
