1945-1991: Cold War Wiki.

Welcome to the Wiki!


Also see- About the Wiki.

 Hello and welcome to the Wiki! 

Were you ever turned on by the Cuban Missile Crisis, Checkpoint Charlie, Exercise Reforger or the Berlin Wall? Here is a wiki devoted to the Cold War era!

So, turn on your AN/PRC-77 Portable Transceiver, activate your radar, peer over the Inner German Border, order Ordine Nuovo to crush the GRU and KGB spy rings, phone the White House and fire your Davy Crockett Weapon System at the Symbionese Liberation Army's Collective farm before they steal our Fouga CM.170 Magisters!

The factual data base


You can swat up on your Cold War knowledge by Visiting topics like- Tu 160 bombers, Lockheed F-94 Starfire, RAF Croughton, Tatishchevo Air Base, the Swiss National Redoubt, Lockheed X-17, Ubon Royal Thai Air Force Base, Cool fighters/ground attack aircraft, Soviet Ice Breaker Lenin, radar, Bikini Atoll, Exercise Reforger, Explorer 1, Ekranoplans, Treaties, outer space, radome, MiG-17, the 1970 Polish protests, FMA IA 58 Pucará, Fiat G.91, Black Liberation Army (BLA), Soviet AgitProps, Lockheed X-17, the atomic artillery peace ‘Atomic Annie’ and Sputnik on their own entry pages now!

Do you know where Koksan Airport/Airfield is? If not, I just made a page for it!

Watch some Awesome Videos, fly around with some Ekranoplan, and peep at the nuke stuff on the Atomic warfare information notes.

Do you think your being watched, if so see: Zenit 2, GRU, radar, KGB and KH-1 "Corona", C, they might have been taking photos of you!

Heard about the 1968 Polish political crisis and 1970 Polish protests yet? Well, hear it is!

Planned map games (currently on hold)


See- Map games

This (currently on hold) game's scenario is in a parallel universe I created, in which Several unlikely OTL events, big and small, have disrupted history in this parallel universe and in which the flow of history has been deflected on many different alternate courses.It is set in the early 1990s and is based on communist hard-liners toppling Gorby in 1991. Game play occurs 3 years after the marginally successfully 1991 Soviet coup d'état attempt!

It is set in the early 1990s and is based on communist hard-liners toppling Gorby in 1991. Did George Bush senior really mean to drop us a big hint with his New World Order speech on the 11th of September 1991?! The marginally successfully 1991 Soviet coup d'état attempt! Chechenya and Manchuria were understandably not all that concerned since they had there own problems to.

See if your chosen nation can influence this world: May be take over the entire world, control the world's oil output, prevent the fall of Communism and/or end poverty in sub-Saharan Africa?

There are a couple of other part made lesser games (currently on hold).

I have added several background pages like- the Swiss National Redoubt (1880-2010), Lockheed F-94 Starfire, Lockheed X-17, RAF Croughton, radar, radome, and and the Ubon Royal Thai Air Force Base; in the hope I could both aid a seance of realism, to enlighten those who have not lived in the Cold War (I'm 43 years old so I remember Gorby, Yuri Andropov and Konstantin Chernenko) and to help point out some lesser OTL/ATL differences that occurred on a more local and national scale that are not listed in the scenario section.

It is an ongoing project, so will be a slow and sum-what erratic process. It is a labour of love and I hope to add more to it whenever I can. Hopefully, I will make it as complete as I can, one day.
