The Soviet Invasion of Alaska (1998) | Alternate History

Disclaimer: This is an alternate-history project, it is not meant to offend any person or group of people, it was made for fun.
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.

Amazing job! Keep up the good work, this is a pretty cool scenario!

[@retardedstudios4375]

So this is what it was about. Good work!

[@nonplays3187]

its fallout but everyone gets nuked in 1998

[@prof.badfellow9868]

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

[@alisgeo]

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]

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

[@prof.badfellow9868]

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

[@Yahoo-ci2cm]

[@Crimson4446]

Do you even know what alternate history is? It’s fake history! A scenario of our world that never happened.

[@michael_hutchie]

You didn't hear about it? Wow, you must be living sealed a cave... One off the greatest battles of our time!
