The history of mankind is one of my favourite hobbies. Especially military history and here is one of my views for begining of World War III. So I made a FB page - History simulations and alternatives ...you can see also there for more...
The Third World War broke out on November 27th 1984. A small incident at Checkpoint Charlie led to an escalation between the two super powers Warsaw Pact and NATO. Fierce fighting in West Berlin reported:
Events occur with unexpected swiftness. While NATO countries organized an emergency meeting, the totalitarian centralized command of the USSR has already rolled Warsaw Pact forces on full alert.
While making diplomatic efforts to resolve the crisis, the United States urgently transferred troops in West Berlin. These actions are taken as aggression by NATO.
Parts of the Soviet army traveling to their pre-designated positions.
Serious disputes in the headquarters of the United Nations prevented the announcement of a resolution.
November 28. NATO members can not take a joint decision on full-scale war with the Soviet Union. Britain and France insists on localization of the conflict and its diplomatic settlement. Heavy bureaucracy prevents the Alliance to take quick and adequate measures.
Soviet and Nato leaders blame each other for the conflict. On a meeting of the Politburo, the KGB informs the Soviet leadership that NATO is not ready to deploy sufficient forces in time.
