Line 8:
We know that the technology they are using is a cousin of the stuff used to send people through space to other areas on the planet, and we KNOW that since time apparently reacts to these ripples only gradually (for instance, there is no report of Hitler returning), and we FURTHER have no definitive proof that the people effected are truly dead or removed from existence, what if they really AREN'T?
Perhaps they are merely dumped in another time-stream through the Universal Membrane ([[Timey-Wimey Ball|or whatever the scientists in real life call it]])?
And what effects might THAT have on the world?
Line 20:
In short: Einstein seeks to undo the damage he has committed by saving Hitler and restarting the Third Reich (by taking the comparatively young and inexperienced Hitler under his wings and "teaching" him his whole ideology- which Einstein would know beforehand- and positioning himself as the new Fuhrer) under his leadership, promising to undo the wrongs of "Twenty Years Ago" (both Versailles- more or less- and his meddling in the timestream).
As such, a fourth superpower (to match out the Western Allies, the USSR, and the Japanese Empire) rises, and through savage manipulation and fanatical aid abroad, the Fuhrer is able to build up a continent-spanning alliance (likely including Franco, Salazer, Chiang Kai Shek and/or the Japanese, possibly the Turks, and likely a few Latin American allies) to contest control with both the Western Allies and the Comintern, and Einstein slowly starts to loose it in some way with the crimes he orders in order to "put history back on track."
Bonus points if the Fuhrer Einstein and this timeline's Einstein ever meet face to fact. where the (extreme Pacifist, fanatical postnationalist, and general rebel) OTL Einstein confronts his mirror copy with what he has done, and Furher Einstein gives him a [[Hannibal Lecture]] about what he has seen, and why he is doing it.
Line 32:
== Kane is Immortal ==
Kane took a direct hit from a Global Defense Initiative orbital ion canon? [[No One Could Survive That]].
* Kane is one of the immortals from ''[[Highlander]]''. McNeil failed to remove Kane's head ensuring Kane's survival.
** Might also be [[Contractual Immortality]]; can't have Nod be without their [[Dark Messiah]], no?
== Kane is one of the "other" aliens that created the Tacitus. ==
The Scrin know ''of'' Kane, and Kane obviously knows of them - enough to be aware of their various sects, such as Reaper-17 and Traveler-59. Kane is also aware of the value of the Tacitus, which is an alien artifact created by beings similar to the Scrin, but notably different. Kane appears to be immortal, judging by how he seems to have not aged at all in fifty years, has survived being vaporized by ion cannons and impaled with a spear, may have been one of Joseph Stalin's advisors, ''and'' indicates he was around whent he Brotherhood was founded in "time immemorial." Most important of all, when Nod wins in Tiberian Sun, Kane appears to teleport away after the Tiberium missile launches.
The inevitable conclusion? Kane isn't human. He looks human, he acts human, but he survives things humans simply ''shouldn't'' survive, and has knowledge of the Tacitus no human should.
Line 49:
It makes so much sense.
== The Brotherhood of Nod is responsible for [[World War
Kane has a fascination with Sarajevo, given that two of his major temples have been set up there. And the organization responsible for the assassination of Archduke Ferdinand was known as the Black Hand. Coincidence?
Line 56:
Of course, it could just be excessive symbolism, [[What Do You Mean Its Not Symbolic|just like everything else the Brotherhood does.]]
* Outdated? The Light Tanks are M2 Bradleys, that's not outdated at all.
** Red Alert 1 shows that the Brotherhood was most likely responsible for both world wars (at least their world wars).
*** Partly. The naming of the Black Hand and the use of Saraevjo both hint heavily at the Brotherhood being responsible for WWI. As for the light tanks, yes, they were M2 Bradleys. The main difference here is that the Brotherhood used them for quick hit and run attacks, not because they were outdated.
== Kane is in fact [[The Bible|Cain]]. ==
Beyond the similarity in their names, Cain, like Kane, was immortal (he survived for seven generations). The Bible does record that Cain was killed by one of his descendents in a hunting accident, but Kane could survive that easily. Furthermore, there is a verse that says:
{{quote|
** That quote is actually said at the very end of the Soviet campaign in the original Red Alert. Guess who steps into the scene right when that quote is said, followed by a description of how the Soviet Union will "tire" of itself in the 1990s and transform into the Brotherhood of Nod? So keep the peace.
*** Kane doesn't say that quote (Nadia does, after poisoning Stalin's tea, killing him), but the bald goatee adviser next to her stops her, and then shoots her...telling you ominously "Commander, I AM the future".
Line 78:
* If you count out that the first Red Alert is a prequel to Tiberian Dawn what with Kane making appearances during the Soviet campaign, the Brotherhood of Nod being mentioned as well as other references to Tiberian Dawn including certain weapons and units. [[Word of God]] explains that Red Alert 2 and 3 are alternate timelines due to time travelling attempts to avoid the Tiberium scorched Earth.
== Kane is the [[Warhammer
The setting's nice 'n grimdark, the obvious predecessors to Titans and Baneblades are running around, Tiberium is clearly infused with the Warp, and that's not even talking about ''Kane''...
Line 105:
* Which explains why CABAL goes havoc in Firestorm.
** In former comments by developers, the Tacitus was supposed to be a kind of Bible for the Scrin, that rebels of the empire or some such stole.
*** That must mean that CABAL [[Go Mad
== Earth's and Sun magnetic field compromises Scrin's technology for faster-than-light travel ==
Line 148:
== An attempt to connect all the games together that was added to the main page instead of here where it would properly go. ==
* :Timeline unfolds like so (There are a few ways to do this, but I?ll do it this way.) The Soviets win World War Two, and the timeline progresses through the various Tiberian games. After all the damage that was done to the world during the Tiberian Series, Humanity is basically screwed, but Kane is finally dead. At the bottom of an old research lab a few surviving GDI scientists manage to find a surviving Chronosphere. Carefully analyzing where the timeline went horribly horribly wrong, specifically identifying Kane?s part in World War Two, they send back several GDI Operatives with the power to actually kill Kane. They do so, but do it early enough into the war that without Kane, the soviets lose. Badly. The Allies win World War Two, and the various red alert?s plot unfolds as canon. After the End of the red alert series, the world is once again basically screwed, and someone has the same idea as last time, and carefully identifies where the timeline went horribly horribly wrong, tracing it to the Soviet assassination of Albert Einstein. Using one of the surviving chronospheres, they go back in time and prevent the assassination. In the ensuing battle, however, Einstein?s original time machine (From the Red Alert 1 opening Cutscene) is destroyed, preventing him from ever going back and killing Hitler. Twenty Minutes into the future, the C&C: The Generals events proceed according to Canon. And there you have it. Every games is connected, and every event is possible via-ingame tech.
*** Good, now explain the lack of Tiberium in the Generals series(above entry has Scrin noticing the chronoshifter in the Red Alert series and deciding to just ignore the planet instead of invading in force for some reason). Also Kane is still alive at the end of Tiberium Wars in every ending.
Line 162:
*** [[The Nth Doctor|Unless...]]
{{quote|
* Earth will be saved. By the time of C&C4 tiberium is under control, because several years prior, when GDI's efforts had almost failed due to Tiberium mutating even further, Kane came out of hiding and offered to help them build the TIBERIUM CONTROL NETWORK. C&C4 takes place after this project is completed, and the planet is in the course of recovey. Also, for some reason unknown, the Scrin armada the Overlord called for never made it to Earth. All this is information revealed by the producers on the main site about C&C4. Also, I think kane will die in GDI's campaign, because it says so on the tin (the man who killed kane)
Line 176:
** Yes, there would have been suffering, but nothing on the scale of the Holocaust.
*** The people of the Ukraine, the millions of victims of the [[wikipedia:Holodomor|Holodomor]], and the millions more who suffered and died at Stalin's hands would beg to disagree.
*** There's not much need to speculate: from the time period of immediately before, during, and after the Holodomar, we actually have a examples of Stalin's governmental policy towards the Jews. Ever heard of the [[wikipedia:Jewish Autonomous Oblast|Jewish Automonous Province]]? If you live in the west, probably not, but is a useful record of the Soviet-endorsed Yiddish culture. Shetl and urban Jews were excluded by law from the civil and military offices in Tsarist Russia, resulting in a disproportionate number of them being intergrated into the Soviet government as a response to that. As for Jews in other countries, west Belarus (annexed by Poland and under military rule) was occupied by the Red Army (to whom the Jewish minority is recorded as having preferred to the Polish government, to the dismay of Warsaw). Their initial enthusiasm was dampened when it became clear the new government intended to enforce their own "modern Jewish identity" onto the population, along with integrating them into the civil and military service, erasing many of their traditions in the process. As a German, how would Einstein have felt about Hebrew culture being replaced by Yiddish culture?
== Yuri is in fact a Brotherhood of Nod member ==
The marks on Yuri's forehead are the hebrew letters "resh", "vav" and "yod". Since the Brotherhoood of Nod is the only faction in Command & Conquer that uses too much [[What Do You Mean Its Not Symbolic|symbolism]]...
Line 182:
== The Tiberian series is an [[Alternate Universe]] of [[Neon Genesis Evangelion]] ==
Think about it. {{spoiler|Humanity suddenly finds itself fighting for survival against an extraterrestrial force, so instead of fighting it head-on they build weapons based on the alien's composition, when in fact everything is a massive [[Xanatos Gambit]] by a [[Transhuman Treachery|transhumanist]] [[Ancient Conspiracy]] which has [[What Do You Mean Its Not Symbolic|a strange addiction to Judeao-Christian symbolism]].}} Not to mention both franchises were released in 1995. Which makes Tiberium the equivalent of Adam, Kane is Lilith (or [[Manipulative Bastard|Gendo]]), and the Scrin are [[Starfish Aliens|Angels]].
* EVA is well, [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin|Eva]] (CABAL/LEGION might be Eva-01 though).
* Obviously, Nod is Seele ([[Ancient Conspiracy]]) and GDI is Nerv (humanity's defence force), but if that's the case would that mean they are working together?
Line 189:
*** Alternatively, Nod is Nerv, GDI is UN, and Kane is Keel Lorenz (he controls them both).
* Which makes the Commander the equivalent of Shinji Ikari...
** [[Big No|NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!]]
== Kane's immortality is a Code, and Yuri's mind control is a [[Code Geass|Geass]] given to him by Kane ==
Line 236:
== The [[wikipedia:Pacific War|Pacific War]] occurred similarly to how it did in our timeline. ==
* Hitler's removal from the timeline wouldn't have had any effect on the actions of Imperial Japan during the 1930s-40s. We can assume that the creation of Manchukuo and the Second Sino-Japanese War happened as they did in our timeline. Likewise, Japan's border skirmishes with Russia and the resulting Neutrality Pact in 1941 likely occurred. But our true evidence comes from ''Red Alert 2'', as monuments in those games show us that Pearl Harbor and Iwo Jima did occur. And it's hard to imagine Japan attacking America without seizing the resource-rich European Pacific colonies.
** The absence of Hitler and Nazi Germany would have an effect on Japanese foreign policy. Without the Axis alliance and the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact, Japan would not have signed a non-aggression pact with Stalin, and it is implied Stalin already fought a war in China. His ambitions would have clashed with those of Japan and its puppet state. For Japan to have sought war with the United States and Europe would have been foolish with the clear threat of the Soviet Union still fresh.
* The war would most certainly have been harder for Japan. And in 1946, when their neutrality pact with the Soviet Union expired, it was probably all too easy for Stalin to declare war and conquer most of Eastern Asia, setting the stage for the events of ''Red Alert''.
* It's harder to discern whether the first atomic bombs were dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in this universe. On the one hand, if the U.S. had completed the bomb, you'd expect the Allies to have nuclear weapons before the Soviets did in ''Red Alert''. On the other hand, it would provide the perfect explanation for why Japan is more powerful in the timeline of ''Red Alert 3''—a timeline where the Pacific War most likely ended without atomic weapons or an invasion of the home islands, but with a hurried peace so that the Allies could focus on the more threatening Soviets, thus allowing the "Empire of the Rising Sun" to rebuild quickly and keep the mindset that it never really lost the war.
Line 269:
== Some of the nations in ''[[Axis Powers Hetalia]]'' are actually the player characters in the Red Alert series ==
Consider that the player seems to be immortal like Kane, given the nature of Hetalia, would this be the case, too!
== Tanya is Havoc's mother. Ghoststalker is Havoc's (probably illegitimate) son. ==
Line 304:
The Americans and the Chinese may not trust one another in Generals, but the Chinese are still treated as one of the "good guy" factions, and their dominance over Europe is shown to be something worth celebrating in Zero Hour. Whether as a result of differences in history (perhaps Mao was less of a headcase) or natural political evolution, China has become a genuinely benign Communist society. Their political clashes with the US have more to do with questions of who will have economic supremacy, as well as misunderstandings due to their very different, but ultimately complimentary systems.
