The Soviet Invasion of Alaska was an armed conflict that occurred in 1998, where Soviet forces launched an amphibious invasion of the Republic of Alaska, following its independence from the United States of America two years prior.
The war is historically known for being similar to the Winter War of 1939-1940, where the USSR invaded Finland, taking large losses to gain ground. Red Army assets in Alaska took months to capitulate the nation, taking many more losses than the Alaskan side.

Great short! Though I don’t know that it takes completely into account the sheer size of Alaska or the challenges in logistics and maintaining massive supply corridors through the wilderness

In retrospect I wish I would have increased the length of the scenario to take these things into account but I mainly needed to push a video out hence the lacking realism.

@prof.badfellow9868 6 месяцев назад

Your concepts are definitely worth elaborating upon in a more lengthy video. Hope to see more

You're the only other person I've encountered to use the term Republic of Alaska in a creative sense. Honestly, I believe the Soviets would face a cold, red dawn in such a scenario. Aside from military presence, the Alaskans are notoriously well armed and uniquely adapted to the possibility of cold weather guerilla warfare against Soviet airborne and motorized infantry divisions. I also don't think the Dominion of Canada and Free Provinces would choose to sit this one out

in this alternative history, in 1984, Gorbachev was murdered by a hitman thought to have been hired by hardline communists to eliminate him. after that in 1985, without Gorbachev in power and Chernenko dead. The Soviet Union experienced a vacuum in power. Taking advantage of this, the hardline communists seized power and then appointed Dmitry Yazov. marshal of the Soviet Union and hardline communist leader. under Yazov, the Soviet Union succeeded in re-invading Afghanistan, resulting in a landslide victory for the Soviet Union. This made communism easily spread to Pakistan and then India to Southeast Asia (on the eastern front communism was spread by China from Vietnam). As a result, communist ideology began to influence communist movements throughout the world, which caused many communist movements, especially in Latin American and African countries, to succeed in overthrowing governments and then establishing socialist regimes. This also had an impact on Europe where in the end there were massive demonstrations driven by the communist party which ultimately led to the fall of all democratic regimes in Europe and then the transition of the European Union to socialist. At the end of the 1980s, the US was forced to disband, one of which was Alaska.
