During the Korean War, General MacArthur had a plan. A plan to nuke China 50 times to win the war in a matter of days. Nothing wrong about that huh? So what if America had nuked China?

No, because the main problem with nuclear bombs is not that they leave behind radiation. For example, under normal circumstances it takes around 2 days for 99% of the generated radiation to disappear. You actually have to make special "dirty" bombs in order to have massive long lasting radiation.

@@Stacknasty69 True. Though, (AFAIK) the former have never been used so far. Doing so would have far-reaching diplomatic consequences and possibly open a floodgate no one wants to ever see open. So it would make sense that, even if they are low yield, their launch would need approval from the government rather than being 100% a military decision.

Honestly an important distinction to make. Macarthur might not have been the most humble of men, nor the most reasonable, but the thinking surrounding nukes have changed quite a bit. For all the likes of macarthur was concerned, it was just another bomb, another cog to abuse in warfare. Now we have a different understanding, one that the atom bomb is more than just a tool. It's something that could end mankind.

It didn't take long either to make the bombs bigger. 10 years and they were already too big. The what if's and the atomic scare were more than a mere scare but an inevitability. Another war and more technological leaps and Starship Troopers Mecha robo-suits with automatic nuclear machine guns woulda been real. The Death Star was already dreamed up by the Nazis in WWII just think what we would have in WWIII.

That effect might be counterbalanced by increased spending in healthcare for the surrounding states though.

The legos would be infuriated, they would have been humiliated by their defeat and seek revenge. They would be so angry they would begin rioting, until Denmark is in a full on revolution. Eventually as the legos won and established a dictatorship, they would create their new ideology and enslave the danish humans! By the time NATO realized what was happening, it was too late, The newly designed lego tanks would be impenetrable, all the lego across the battlefield would be worse then land mines! By the time Germany collapses to the new lego empire, there would be several lego rebellions in Nations across the globe! The UN has decided to combat this threat, Russia, China, and all their allies would help America and democratic Europe (or what was left of it) in the war! But it’s not enough! After a year of fighting the lego empire would have taken the whole EU and reached Moscow! As they succeed in naval invasions across the globe, it becomes apparent that nothing will stop them from taking over the world. As they enter your country, the reason they did all this has been revealed; revenge on the man that humiliated them... YOU! You will be tortured from stepping on lego bricks until you die! All of humanity is enslaved and taken over by the lego overlords because of you, and you will forever be tortured thinking about what you have done.

Please, at least consider this scenario! Regards, Your faithful fan

The communist is egregious after WW2, so what I want to state is that both of them are assholes, that's why I like the concept of Capitalism better. Just keep in mind that there were two slightly different generations of Nationalists, therefore their concepts alter, and the new one is much much worse. Judging from that, I still prefer the government people get right now, as it won't last any longer, not more than 30 years. Still, I don't want China to become India.

Highly recommend to anyone interested in this "What if" scenario, to read Bombs Away by Harry Turtledove. The reason Truman agrees with MacArthur in the book is that instead of breaking out of the encirclement at Chosin Reservoir, most of the UN forces are trapped and destroyed there. With precious few troops left in Korea, this leaves Truman in a difficult position. The resulting outcome is disturbing to say the least, considering how easily something like that could of actually happened in the early years of nuclear weapons and the Cold War.

I’m sure it’s been mentioned, but good ol’ Harry Turtledove wrote a series about a timeline where nukes were used to win the Korean War. The difference is that far fewer nukes are used (they bomb the rail lines and staging areas in fairly limited strikes to try to avoid pissing off Stalin) and the Chinese just keep marching people through, while the Russian response escalates things into an all out war. The most interesting part of the scenario however is that the vast majority of nukes used are targeted at strategic targets, rather than tactical ones. In Europe, it’s because the Russians don’t want to deal with potential mutinies if they nuke the armies in front of them and then force their men through the craters, and for NATO it’s because they would be nuking their own territory. Very good series overall.

Probably would make for a good Call of Duty game tbh. A Korean War game, advertised as just an ordinary game. Everything is normal, real battles take place, but then something strange happens from history. Airsupport is cut off, you just need to hold for a bit longer in the North. And then the nukes go off. The second half of the game is dealing with WW3. Then you have a sequel 2 or 3 years later fighting in radioactive Europe. Call of Duty really needs to get into Alternate History. The fact it's so obvious they've run out of ideas really just makes it insane they haven't gone into alternate history yet. An alternate history game would be hard to sell to people, but one that is a normal game and becomes alt hist? Yeah, that'd probably be fine.

I would say option #3. What if the USSR used America's use of the bomb as an excuse to censure the US while appealing to the United Nations? The UN agrees and suddenly the USSR is seen more of a peace loving nation and gains political clout in the world while the US is seen as an aggressor and suffers political blow back. Especially during the case of the Cuban Missile Crisis when the UN had backed the US, but in this alternate timeline the UN takes sides with the USSR and allowed to keep their missiles in Cuba.

That's unrealistic. First off, the UN doesn't have power over jack shit and nobody cares. Second, the balance of power in the UN wouldn't change in the slightest as all the countries that side with the US would never side with the USSR no matter what the US does because they need the US to protect them from gommunism, and all the countries that side with the USSR would always side with the USSR. Worst case scenario it sparks a gommunist revolution in France that's quickly supprssed by the military. You're assuming that the politicians in the UN actually have any morals. They don't, they never did, they just use moral-sounding excuses to do what benefits them in the long run. And after that kind of show of force by the US, especially in a time when the USSR didn't have that kind of raw power yet, it would benefit absolutely none of the US allies to distance themselves or to stop siding with the US in the UN. World politics is much less about morals and image than it is about interests and profiteering. It's much easier to do what you know is in your interests and then trying to justify that as moral through propaganda among your populous than it is to do what would actually be the moral, ethical thing, because in the end of the day people care much less about morality and ethics than they do about self preservation, which is entirely reasonable since ethics and morals is shit we made up and doesn't really matter in the grand scheme of things.

Well that's true that communism was a threat, but what was a bigger threat was "gommunism"! Communism's more sadistic brother. Founded by Gollum in the pursuit of total equality and to find "The Precious". It was said that Franco's Fascist Spain was still fighting gommunism up until the 1970's.

This reminds me of what Belka did in Ace Combat Zero: The Belkan War, when the Belkan Federation detonated 7 tactical nuclear warheads on its own territory to stop the Allied Forces from continuing north after they captured the majority of Southern Belka

KMT lost the war against communist due to heavy corruption. They used the war tax money to build villas for themselves, which is the one of the main reason US didn't want give too much support to the KMT. And after US's failure to get rid of communism out of China, US learned from its mistakes and began to fully support any regime from any country that is anticommunist despite their corrupted nature. For instance Iran, Libya, Chile, Vietnam,Korea and etc. Even if KMT won the war despite with heavy corruption. At best the situation would be like South Korea. At worse it would be like Africa or middle east. Not to mention Taiwan faced serious corruption and white terror after the civil war, and the first election only occurred in 1996.

I thought China warned them but U.S. forces refused to back down. MacArthur was extremely upset that the Chinese basically undid all his troops work in Korea in a time span of 72 hours, the success of the Chinese (which in turn he saw as his failure) deeply wounded him, which is why he was so stubborn about using nuclear weapons on China.

From what I understand, China warned the US about crossing the border. UN forces simply got "relatively close" (my words) to the border. I'd liken it to someone saying "don't punch me or I'll fuck you up" and you swinging at him but stopping a few inches from their face and they just fucking deck you in the face.
