5 Unfought Wars That Would Have Changed Everything

http://www.cracked.com/article_18722_5-unfought-wars-that-would-have-changed-everything.html

1. Operation Unthinkable

As World War II started to wind down in Europe, it became clear that the U.S. and USSR would emerge as the two dominant superpowers of Earth. This did not bode well with various Allied leaders on account of Joseph Stalin being just as big an asshole as Hitler, but seriously... what could these guys do?


Without Stalin, they didn't have a prayer of winning "Best A Capella Group" in the talent show.

The Soviets had already taken the biggest beating in history and emerged stronger than the Incredible Hulk. They possessed half of Europe, some of the best generals that ever lived and a military that now numbered something north of 10 million; the largest army in history, ever, and perhaps the most experienced one to boot. Seriously, who would want to mess with these guys, especially after winning World War II thanks enormously to their help?



Google the nearest liquor stores to your house and drive to 10 of them. You still won't see half as much booze as this man alone put away between '39 to '45.

Churchill's fear of a Soviet invasion of Western Europe led to the British Chiefs of Staff Committee forming Operation Unthinkable on May 22, 1945. Although Churchill insisted that the operation was purely "hypothetical," it is worth noting that the plan's "overall or political object is to impose upon Russia the will of the United States and British Empire." In short, it was a contingency plan for a Soviet invasion that the Brits knew would never be coming because it was actually Churchill's plan for a preemptive war with the Soviet Union.

Operation Unthinkable called for "the date for the opening of hostilities" on July 1, 1945, a declaration of World War III while World War II was still winding down. And it didn't help that Churchill was fully aware of America's successful nuclear tests. In his mind, the United States and the United Kingdom would United Ass Kick the USSR if the Soviets kept up their aggressive posturing in Europe.

What Stopped It:

Numbers. Sheer numbers.


Ten million commies ain't nothin' but a thang.

As blood drunk as Churchill was, his Chiefs of Staff were sober enough to recognize that the Soviet land forces outnumbered the Allies two to one. And that's after the British planned to rearm 100,000 captured German soldiers to invade the Soviet Union. Bear in mind, this would be the second time the Germans invaded the USSR.


Second time's a charm!

The success of Operation Unthinkable would depend on the Americans, who weren't interested in jumping back into war while they were still fighting in the Pacific. Or, at all. Truman wasn't interested in fighting the Soviets. Ultimately, the whole thing was dropped before it got off the ground. And then Churchill was given the sack.

If The War Had Happened...

If there is one thing that should be taken out of the entire chronicle of military history, it is that Russia is really freaking hard to conquer. Hell, we're not even talking about Moscow here; Stalin was prepared all the way back to the Ural Mountains during WWII. Russia had winters, it had rivers, it had more mud than roads, it had the army that killed the most of the Germans during World War II.


Also, bear cavalry.

The only way we could have come even close to winning this war would be if the U.S. dropped the A-bomb. Since the U.S. had only two of them in its arsenal and it took exactly two to win the war in Japan, we would have pretty much started this war by stalling the one in the Pacific.

Most likely scenario: the Soviets would have kicked the ever-loving shit out of England and marched all the way to the Channel, while Truman told Churchill "I told you so."

And why should we believe what that website has to say?

If you get your arguments from a comedy/satire website, they aren't good arguments

The truest thing Unleashed has ever said

Many nations target Russia to conquer, it is an ultimate goal and dream of every general to win battles and capture territories in Russia. Mongols, Turks, Poles, Swedes, Germans, French, English, Americans all tried to beat Russia. None succeeded but one enemy - communism, it did not hold grip on Russia for too long, but long enough to damage it.

You should not, everything should be taken with a grain of salt especially "official" or news information.

You are the kind of retard who will question some random article on the net but blindly believe what the news host and priest tells you

Actually, that is were you are wrong.. I don't own a TV. I also do not listen to any priest, I am aware of their false teachings. So Ha, who is the stupid one now?

You act as if any of these 'unfought war' reasons actually matter... even if they did happen, there would be no difference, the world would still be shit.

Are you not aware all the WW's were staged? If you are, why are you posting bull shit like this?

Lol cracked.
