My guess is without nukes, WW3 could have started as early as the 1950’s. I doubt Operation Unthinkable would have happened immediately after WW2 ended, but I’d bet maybe the Korean War could have started it. Without nukes, MacCarthur may have opted for a regular bombing campaign of northern China which may have been approved, which likely would’ve sparked tensions with the USSR had it happened.
Otherwise, the Berlin Blockade could’ve been another trigger, and if somehow that didn’t cause it, then possibly the Bay of Pigs Invasion.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE make a Part 2!!!! This scenario is incredible and deserves more justice
Its a little flawed but it would be entertaining nonetheless. :)
A good starting point would be to look at how Germany and America differ. Also, what happens if China goes communist before the war? In our timeline the two fought each other, but I assume that in the alternate timeline they would be more willing to join forces for WW3. There are even more people and resources in China. If the great leap forward was started early enough it might have a significant impact.
+Don Reynolds
Exactly what I said! XD
The lack of a nuclear age does not mean the Soviets do not develop conventional missile submarines, conventional ICBMs and ultra-long range, high altitude bombers. Cody forgets the Communist Chinese are a big player too. Russia and China, despite their falling out in the 60's, would most certainly join forces to defeat the West if the cold war ever went hot. They intervened in Korea and deterred the US from directly attacking North Vietnam. I see a hypothetical nuclear-less World War III spanning the globe much more than the video leads others to think.
ya, i mean what would the effect be on the US? sure they wouldn't be fighting on their own soil (AGAIN), but are you seriously telling me that the country would be willing to put up with another world war??
I would love a part 2!
I feel like nuclear technology is the ultimate example of technology being both our savior and our doom. Because while the nuke would send humanity into a radioactive stone age, that same fear saved us from what would be the vilest war in human history.
One important thing to remember is how drawn out the battle between the US and JP Empire would've been.
It easily could've made relations between the two countries salty up to current day due to how gruesome it would've been.

“Let’s just say that they had other pressing matters” 😅
“By the end of the 1960s the US had 67 carriers”
In this timeline it’s at least 64 because the USS Enterprise was a nuclear powered carrier, all carriers built after it were nuclear powered.
Screechy Boi Its still likely they would build more
Weren’t the USS John F. Kennedy and the USS America conventionally powered?
They’d just make the standard carriers, and its irrelevant anyway because it’s just a comparison of numbers to show how pathetic they were against the Americans
Interesting good to know
The Soviets never historically paid too much attention to capital ships, instead choosing to focus on a large submarine force. An interesting historical parallel to the Kriegsmarine in WWII. Both navies never built up a large surface fleet to combat their rivals, knowing that they could never hope to compete evenly.

Ah, I remember that. "The longest period of peace in human history."
That is over now of course.
This isn't over yet. Were I in charge of the PRC, I'd be moving on Taiwan. There are a good number of other flashpoints that could go similarly. It is still a ground war between European powers, and that is what stopped for all that time. Almost everyone else was still going through internally and/or externally generated conflict at one point or another. (also, I doubt Ukraine can be considered minor anymore given the shellacking they're giving the Russians)
In reality, that long peace line is a lie outside of Europe. Always was. Mountains of proxy wars at the hands of the major powers did not create a world of peace, but a world of undeclared wars and far less restricted slaughter.
@@RainbowMuse2 There was in fact a intelligence report that China was planning an invasion of Taiwan to happen this year between October to December. But canceled due to Russia underperforming in Ukraine. I doubt China would win a war with Taiwan and might be cause an invasion of the mainland.
@@Marylandbrony they would certainly win, because no one would be able to support Taiwan directly in a sustained manner. The island and everything around it can be hit by almost every piece of long range arty and every missile that the PRC has. It's within their first defensive ring. Taiwan is doomed the moment the PRC decides to move in.
@@RainbowMuse2 Can you give me a source on these artillery pieces that can literally fire a hundred miles away and the missiles would literally have to hit hundreds of thousands of targets. Remember Taiwan per capita is wealthier than China and regardless if China has magically artillery that can strike every part of Taiwan and enough missiles to flatten the island. The physical terrain of the country for the hundreds thousand plus initial invasion force plus the probably million person occupation force would be a nightmare as Taiwan only 14 small invasion beaches, and they are bordered by cliffs in the hundreds of meters and urban jungles. Sure if the government was decapitated and their was no morale and the U.S or it's allies refused to help. China would probably occupy the island. But if there was a general mobilization of the country, generally good morale and support from the U.S and allies like Ukraine. Then the invasion would be halted at the beach.
@@Marylandbrony there are small islands the PRC would take first, that neither Taiwan or anyone else would be able to keep them from taking, which would place all of that within range. Even without that (and they WOULD do that) the PRC's new amphibious military and navy are enough alongside their air force. Taiwan will have no one coming to its direct defense against the PRC. That is why the US's position on Taiwan has been intentionally ambiguous for decades. In short, they're alone, they lack the arms and men to defend themselves effectively, and they are massively outgunned.

"They're the gun to our head to make sure we all play nice. Whether that's a positive or negative depends on if we pull the trigger."
Absolutely brilliant stuff. This entirely changes how I view nuclear weapons in our world. I always assumed that if a World War III was to happen that it would be a war with guns and bodies, like the previous two. Now, I see that the bomb's threat is so massive that a war like that is no longer possible... at least not without the bomb getting involved.
If there is a World War III, I think it would likely be a cyber game of how many minds can you control and how many uncontrolled minds can you destroy. This may not be fully possible right now, but technology is not stagnant. While we can measure the power of the nuclear bomb, measuring the impact of mental destruction is far more difficult.

I seriously think the RF would just have to disable the West's wifi for less than a week and you would all be in barbaric, bloodthirsty anarchy.
Anyway, clearly you have no concept of what a war with Russia entails. You could look at the millions of highly trained and equipped German soldiers who are now bonefields stretching from the Volga to Berlin.
The Warsaw pact outpaced every single member of NATO's military, Resource spacecraft production, combined.
They were always anticipating you gluttonous colonial freaks attempting a second extermination on Slavs. And they were proven right when the KGB uncovered Operation Unthinkable.
They subsequently re-armed and organised the entire army stationed in Berlin and shipped over all their modern equipment for the combined military parade.
This is where the West saw the monstrous ogre that was the IS-3, and subsequently decided war was not an option at the moment.
Soviet doctrine antipated heavy usage of chemical, nuclear and biological weapons saturating the battlefield. Which is why the BMP and numerous other vehicles were modified to operate in an inhospitable chemical hell on earth with Soviet armour and infantry pouring into ruined European cities.

Would love a part two of this!
I've also believed that the existence of nukes prevented WWIII. But I'll go even further and say that it was the actual dropping of atom bombs on Japan prevented WWIII. For if those bombs were not dropped, I don't think people would have fully appreciated the power of nukes (since they'd had not been used "in anger"), so WWIII would have happened, and it would have been a nuclear war in that case.
So prevention of WWIII (or more like aversion of WWIII) required not just the invention of nukes, but also a small scale use of them.
The low yield nukes dropped on Japan were no more destructive than the firebombings of Dresden or Tokyo, while the high yield hydrogen bombs of the late 50s-60s are in a class all on their own. For those reasons, I don't agree that nuking Japan was necessary to legitimise MAD.
@@raymondgough6070 maybe so, but those hydrogen bombs likely only exist due to data gathered from the drops on Japan.

This one gets deep into the weeds of American politics. JFK was the last charismatic Democrat leader that was actually interested in fighting the Cold War. If RFK could have stepped into that role the parties would have diverged less. Reagan would likely have stayed a Democrat instead of leading an exodus and those voters would have anchored the Democrats to what we now call the center right. The far left if it ever rose would probably have had to form a third party, which would have pushed the Democrats and Republicans to merge.

You thought it was world peace, but it was me, DIO!
I think you might have underestimated the soviet economy,
You see, the term "seize the means of production" has become a meme, but the USSR was so focused on this, that instead of produce individual items, they produced machines to make more items, this made their economy bloated and inefficient in peacetime as they had too much machinery to produce low quality items than needed and not a smaller quantity of high quality items, but in wartime their economy was probably the best geared up in the world, as within a matter of weeks, they had so much production machinery that they could churn out huge quantities of low quality weapons (e.g, Kalashnikovs) which is why they could sustain huge losses of equipment, couple this with the government having absolute control, being able to fully dedicate the economy to war, and the fact that factories would stop intentionally underperforming to receive more resources (as they were producing for their lives). This makes, I would say the Soviet economy the most effective economy in the world, (although they would still most likely lose).
How are they gonna fuel all that machinery, who will use the weapons and machinery? Etc. Production doesn't mean logistics will also follow it. It's why Germany mass producing like the allies in ww2 wouldnt work.
@@justinh6651 The USSR had plenty of oil fields and natural gas which is why the energy sector is one of the biggest in todays russia, and don't forget the allies of the USSR like China and eastern europe, and most of the production was near moscow and eastern europe right next to the front, and yes, while it would be hard to transport men and supplies from asia, russia had enough troops already,

Russia on Feb 24th 2022: We don't do that here
I'm just going to leave a couple suggestions here.
1. What if the Soviets lost the Russian Civil war?
2. What if Imperial Powers never colonized the Americas?
3. What if the USSR joined the Axis in WWII? (Like Italy and Japan did, not just some pact)
German King
I don't think the USSR would have ever joined the Axis Powers after the Germans and Soviets fought a PROXY Civil War in Spain, with the Germans funding the Nationalists and the Soviets funding the Socialists. Political relations between the two nations were just too tense to glance over that little detail.
He already did videos on what if the America’s were never colonized and if the Soviets lost the civil war
Trey Magathan not even that but never with Hitler in charge either, Hitler hated the communists more than anything else, even the jews. It would’ve had to have been someone else.
top one yes plz
@phantom killer087The EU isn't a military alliance, yet.
Have a part 2, bro. One thing you never brought up, for example, was Alaska.
Navel superiority! They wouldn't stand a chance at invasion, we could arm the fuck out of Canada or annex it if need be.
Isn't it just too cold there
I was also thinking of the collapse of the colonial empires and how that would pan out differently
@@novicman8742 Russia doesnt care about the cold
The problem with actually invading Alaska is this little thing called the bering strait. It would be nigh impossible to send that much materiel without risking naval interdiction. Russia never had enough naval capacity to even BEGIN to try and move enough stuff into Alaska to make any real headway.
About the worst they could do is conventional bombing, which likely would have happened. However, even without nukes, you still have American aircraft being far superior to Russian bombers, and shooting them out of the sky in droves. You'd also have missile technology, even without nukes, and that would be more effective. So you'd see a shelling or maybe missiles fired on Alaska, but really it wouldn't even begin to open up the capability of invasion.
It would have tied up some American manpower and materiel, but not enough to turn the tide.
2 years later… It’s March 10, 2022 3 weeks into the Russia invasion of Ukraine. Russia can’t supply it’s troops 40 miles from the Russian border. Sooner or later the big lumbering bear will most likely thrash Ukraine and ground it’s cites to something resembling Syria… but it’s poor logistics is absolutely staggering. Tanks running out of gas, troops running out of food. Of course they are burning thru their most inexperienced troops and oldest tanks… Ukraine wants the West to creat a no fly zone.. but if the West does, THAT will likely start WWW3. I have no doubt the west could defeat Russia but the fear is once Russia starts really loosing - Will Putin push the button? He is threatening it already. That will likely keep the West out of direct involvement in the Russia - Ukraine war. However what’s next? Does Putin go for the Baltic states next? Maybe he goes for Finland instead. Does the West come to Finland’s aid? … what a strange time to live in - just hope Putin doesn’t end the human race because of his ego.
Putin won't use nukes he wants ukraine, and if he destroys it he can't have, plus it would cause a knee jerk reaction from other nations, and direct their nukes at Russia, eliminating Putin, and causing other nations to then attack their enemies once and for all destroying humanity, so yes I don't see Putin following through unless he is insane, or being sacrificial
I really want a sequel! You could dove into detail on this subject!

Video idea: What if Y2K actually happened?
I like this one
It actually would have happened had it not been for intense last-minute fixes to computer calendar code, some of which are still evident to this day. (For example, if you're born before 2000, your under 21 ID card says it expires on your birthday in 2021 due to some bugs from fixing the code that helps automate DPS ID services - as much good as that automation does. It's still too slow. This error occurs at least in Texas, where I have seen it.)
That’s a good one

Loved the video, but one essential question remains unanswered: whats the song at the beginning?
Any luck?
The book Red Storm Rising has a great view on how a conventional war between the USSR and NATO would play out.
I think it depends on when the war starts. If it's during the Stalin era or shortly after, the Soviets would be both too militarized for dissent and too zealous for a movement to think they're hypocrites.
If it's during the Khruschev era, the Soviets are revisionist AF. Radical centrism does not a good pro-war movement make, and ideological inconsistency would invite much more likelihood of internal collapse. Afterall, look in our timeline? Gorbachev is popular among Americans but *hated* among Russians.

"The day when two army corps can annihilate each other in one second, all civilized nations, it is to be hoped, will recoil from war and discharge their troops"
-Alfred Nobel
One thing Nobel did not see well with this statement is that he was talking of his own invention, dynamite, which... well... did not work for that purpose.
@@eddiezebeast Richard Gatling also thought the same for his gun as well
Did you just finish researching gunpowder?
@@blyat3422 The central issue is that with dynamite and rifles, two corps can annihilate each other. With nukes, two nations can annihilate each other, and can kill the politicians who rule them. Lawmakers and leaders get more ancy about wars when it means that they and everyone they love will die, not just a few thousand or million nameless young men.
Civilized nations conduct tactful and intelligent diplomacy. Modern nations do conduct diplomacy too, but with bombs and threats of murder. *Like an animal.*
