Someone made a video theorizing Einsteins time travel was the same as Avengers: Endgame (i.e. going back in "time" is really going to a separate timeline. Any changes only affect that timeline, and the "present" remains unchanged) So here, killing Hitler only created a new timeline instead of changing ours. He returned to the present still seeing the aftermath of the real WWII we know. But in the timeline he left behind, the version of himself who resides in it did not experience the war started by the Nazis thus the different personality.

Also, it's explained that the Red Alert universe's version of WWII started up sometime in the early 1950s.

I wish someone competent could reboot Red Alert series and keep the dark, serious atmosphere that made RE1 so great. That was a true alternate history game, even if technology was unrealistic. I loved Red Alert 2, but still preferred the seriousness of RE1. And RE3 was an abomination made for little kids with little attention span. But the POTENITAL! It's still there! I would kill for another Red Alert. Game industry and technology have progressed so much since then and we could have another masterpiece. I also hated how the Soviets always lost. An alternate plot of Red Alert 2 (which would be amazing IMHO): at the end of RE1 Soviets conquered Europe (except Britain). RE2 would be again about Soviets conquering North America. While Soviets failure to take over all of North America is actually very plausible, it would be a nice change to see Americans lose for once. At least at first. Alternate plot of Red Alert 3-You cannot just take over such vast areas with population armed to the teeth and expect that population will stand by. Very successful resistance movement across USA and later Canada are formed which manage to make Soviets retreat and regret ever coming there. Soviets did not gave up easily, many thousands die and cities are in ruins. However, Americans know that it is not over yet. Red Alert 4- Wave after wave of of people join Europeans resistance movements, everyone is inspired by American success. Resistances are armed and helped by Britain, USA, Canada, Australia, South American nations and even some Asian and African nations. Everyone had enough of the Soviets. After some time, those nations directly send their armies to fight of Soviets. Canon ending is resistance being successful. However, as always, Soviet version of events is playable. Red Alert 5- Directly after Red Alert 4. Everyone against the Soviets. Invasion of USSR lasts for two years. Soviets are eventually defeated but at a great cost. These events have lasted for at least a decade and the world is in a worse state than after "our" World War 2. Many more people have died. At least in canon ending. Soviet campaign is brutally hard, Stalin (who lived much longer than in our universe) is determined to fight to the last man. Red Alert 6-A few decades later. Great European war between nations that would take inspiration from Second Balkan war. Plus civil wars and fights between different ideologies and regimes throughout Europe. During that time, weak but determined Soviet loyalists make a return. This would be the last Red Alert with no canon ending. This is just one version of events and the possibilities are endless. My version may be crap, but I had to give one example of how easily they could resurrect this series In the end, it all doesn't matter as long as the reboot is faithful to the original.

Holy shit that intro gave me chills. Haven't seen it in like 15 years.

The allies are basically doing exactly what they did during WWI and are working under a central command in the same way the Allies of WWII formed a Supreme Commander to control all of the allies in Europe. However the confusing part is that the Germans are in charge of the Allies instead of the British like it basically was during WWI.

Well, if you read the manual (yes, there is written material that comes with the physical copy of the game) it gives statistical information on the warring factions - in that information it's stated that the Allied powers operate as a military junta: this makes sense because they are an international force that makes a lot of political compromises to even bring their troops to the battlefield.

Strategy games in most cases SHOULD have serious tones. Red Alert 1 is the best- not surprising since it's meant to be the prequel to the Tiberian Dawn; Red Alert 2 is a good compromise, I'll give it that; Red Alert 3 is way too cartoonish for my taste and IMHO inferior to the Tiberian and the Generals franchises.

Actually, Soviet victory is completely non canon, Red Alert and Tiberium both form from Allied Victory though the split isn't defined thanks to EA changing the direction of CnC3. If USSR won that lead to Tiberium, then USSR would exist during Tiberium Dawn and Russia would NOT be part of GDI like it is.
