1945-1991: Cold War world Wiki

Doomsday 1983 was very dodgy in places due to a mixture of political bias and military ignorance. I found these heavy implausibilities.

The Celtic Alliance- The 5 surviving SNP members would set up a pro-Irish regime in the Scottish Highlands and Islands, not join with Ireland. This is because the SNP is, well, Scottish nationalist.

A Welsh nationalist regime would have probably occurred in North Wales (Conway district, Powys, Denbighshire and Merionedshire.)

A local regime would probably have occurred in the Shrewsbury\Ostwestry\Ludlow region.

Mongolia would become a Siberian client state, not a Siberian colony.

Soviet Siberia is growing to fast.

With out Western aid Sub-Saharan Africa would collapse in to anarchy. Poland, Cuba, DPRK and S. Korea would be wiped out and a pile of radioactive slag.

It is too pessimistic in the PRC and the former Yugoslavia.

RAF Bircham Newton was not hit.

Western Europe was hit too hard, by the nukes. Outside of central Europe the Soviets' plans for Europe were to destroy military and industrial stuff, since they wanted to conquer, enslave and plunder (see the GDR).

The USA was the only nation who went mostly after eastern European civvies in cities. Us Brits, the French, China, S. Africa and the Israelis only wanted to do what was necessary to stay alive. Russia, India, Pakistan and N. Korea have no set plan, just a general policy that is probably mostly anti-military.

Slovakia would be devastated, but not wiped out and a pile of radioactive slag.

San Julián Air Base and San Antonio de los Baños Airfield were not hit, but Havana and San Diego were.

The American base at Aarbourg would be be targeted, not Copenhagen.

A sea strike at Inishtrahull would happen off the Donegal coast, since UK subs reguly loytered their.

The Soviets oddly did not hit RAAF Bace Woomera, Laverton radar station or Jervis Bay's navy base. Somehow 3 major Australian cities were hit. Perth-Fremantle 300 to 400 kT, Melbourne 500kT and Sydney 500kT.
