It's nuclear winter most on people's minds, though, with news that the USSR have exploded an atomic bomb. Truman's trousers turn a funny shade of brown, but it's Stalin who blinks first, and stops the Berlin Blockade, a month after NATO is created. It's not all bad for Mr Man-of-Steel, though, because the communists are still doing awfully well in China, regardless of how much cash the US throws against their enemies; the Nationalists are all living in Taiwan by the end of the year. Having said that, it's all gone pear-shaped in Greece, where the pinkos surrender. In the middle of this, the last six survivers of the US Civil War meet in Indianapolis, and shake their heads with a wry fore-knowing.</p> <p> </p> <p>Oh, and the Republic of Ireland happens, but nobody cares.</p> </div> <div class="message_footer"> <div class="message_footer_links"><a href="lpost.php?webtag=DEFAULT&reply_to=2226.1949&return_msg=2226.1949" class="reply"><span class="image post"></span>Reply</a></div> <div class="message_vote_form" data-msg="2226.1949"> <span class="rating">0/0</span> <span class="image vote vote_down vote_down_off" title="Vote Down"></span> <span class="image vote vote_up vote_up_off" title="Vote Up"></span> </div> </div> </div><a name="a2226_1950"></a><div class="message" id="message_2226_1950"> <div class="message_header"> <div class="message_from"> From: Rowan<span class="message_time">15 Jan 2005 11:38</span> <div class="clearer"></div> </div><div class="message_to">To: Rowan <span><span class="image post_read" title="Read: 15 Jan 2005 11:39"></span></span> <span class="message_count">1950 of 2579</span><div class="clearer"></div> </div> </div> <div class="message_links"> <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=2226.1950">2226.1950</a> In reply to <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=2226.1949#a2226_1949" target="_self">2226.1949</a></div> <div class="message_body"> <p>1950 starts with a, ahem, bang when Truman announces plans for the hydrogen bomb, whilst McCarthy accuses everyone of being Communist, and he's just getting warmed up. The US lands at Inchon, sweeps up the the 38th parallel, and reckons they're doing alright, and carry on a bit into North Korea. A bit too far, actually, leaving the Chinese to get a bit twitchy and come in, which they do, really well, and push the line back down the 38th parallel. MacArthur suggests that 'about 50 atomic bombs' should scare them back a bit.</p> <p> </p> <p>Not to worry, though, because the remote control gets invented this year, which will no doubt ease some inter-ideological tensions the world over.
