We all know the Cold War. Tensions between the Soviet Union and the United States of America nearly led to the two superpowers blowing up the world. The two powers decided to play it out by proxy wars. The Soviet Union dissolved in 1991 ending the Cold War and making the US, the sole superpower. But what if the fear of a world war happened? What if it started in 1983 during the Able Archer training exercise?
Main POD[]
The Sino-Soviet split never happens so when the Sino-Vietnamese War happens, the Soviets sends aid to China including several new weapons to replace their outdated weapons allowing Vietnam to fall. A pro Chinese puppet state in Vietnam and the Khmer Rogue are reestablished in Cambodia. World War III then started in November 10th, 1983 during the Able Archer training exercise (a day before it ended otl). Both sides didn't want to risk destroying the world so nukes aren't used as much. Warsaw Pact and their allies gained victory after victory however after a few turning points, the tide changed and the war ended with a US victory.
