USA 1950 2

- The arrival of an international force in Korea saves the front from collapsing, and in September a decisive victory at Incheon slows the Sino/North advance. Eventually the consolidation of UN lines initiates a stalemate around the 36th parallel, with attacks and retreats through the winter. General MacArthur consistently asks for permission to deploy nuclear weaponry against the North, but is refused.

- We threaten to start bombing southern China unless she withdraws from Korea.

- We also warn China to back off from French Indochina. America and NATO stand prepared to defend the people of Asia from communism.

- To contest the Canadian claim to Marie Byrd Land, two icebreaker ships carrying supplies and men land at the region, and construction of a base, McMurdo Station, is begun. If Canada recommits its troops to Korea, also hopefully joins NATO again, we'll recognise Canada's claims over the region. (btw the Northwest Passage was completely frozen over until 2006, so no dice to that offer).

- The CIA begins operations in Indonesia in response to growing communist sympathies in the region, which obviously can't do. This isn't much more than a gesture, its not like we can do anything.

- A wave of anti-Chinese sentiment in the US. Chinese businesses are trashed, and CCP flags burned.
