1950s

 * 1950_-_Red_v_Blue.png- Kim Il-Sung of North Korea gathers support from Stalin of the USSR and Mao  of the PRC, and is given permission to declare war on South Korea. Stalin makes sure the USSR will not fight America directly, and that any needed re-inforcements will come from China. On 6-2-5 (6-25 or June 25th) troops from NK cross over the 38th Parallel, starting the Korean War. Tibet is captured and incorporated into the PRC.
 * 1951- As fighting in Korea is at a stalemate close by the 38th Parallel, General of the Army Douglas MacArthur urges President Harry Truman to use nuclear weapons against the PRC. Truman declines and even relieves MacArthur of command. MacArthur promotes the idea to the Republican leader of Congress, who then convinces Truman to authorize the strike. On April 24, 1951, the United States dropped the Mark 4 Atomic Bomb "Big Boy " from B-29 Superfortress Praetorian on top of the Dalian Base of the PRC. 150,000 Chinese soldiers and other military personnel were killed, with an additional 50,000 civilians. The PRC agrees to an armistice with the US. By June 25, 1951, exactly one year after the war began, all of North Korea was under Allied control. The Treaty of Seoul  was ratified and approved on November 26, 1951. Late in the year, MacArthur considers a bid for the presidency.
 * 1952- In the US, the Presidential Election of 1952 occupies the national attention. The Republican Party chooses to nominate World War II and Korean War hero Douglas MacArthur over conservative midwestern Senator Robert Taft. MacArthur chooses a young senator, Richard Nixon, to be his running mate. Democrats renominate Harry S. Truman, who chooses John F. Kennedy as his running mate. MacArthur won in a relative landslide. The United States also successfully tested the Hydrogen Bomb. Meanwhile, Yugoslavia decided to invade Albania, in the Yugoslav-Albanian War. In the UK, George VI dies, and his daughter, Elizabeth II is crowned Queen of the United Kingdom.
