The CNC Timeline
For a far more detailed timeline, visit http://www.planetcnc.com/features/encyclopedia/
Some info is also available at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Command_%26_Conquer
The CNC Timeline is most frequently considered to go like this:
GDI Wins GDI Wins - Ending #1
Allies Win - Ending #0 / \ /
Red Alert 1 < Tiberian Sun FireStorm
Soviets Win / \ \
\ GDI Wins Nod Wins Nod Wins - Ending #1
\ / \
Tiberian Dawn Ending #2
\
Nod Wins - Ending #3
Soviets Win - Ending #4
Red Alert 2 <
Allies Win
\
\ Allies Win - Ending #5
Yuri's Revenge <
Soviets Win - Ending #6
Ending 0
Stalin is dead, Europe is free, all is well.
Ending 1
CABAL presumed destroyed, GDI scattered, Nod in the hiding, Tacitus decoded, Kane's body apparently recovered by CABAL and stil alive in a vat, to be continued...
(GDI and Nod have one storyline with one ending in FS - the only real difference is who 'destroys' CABAL)
Ending 2
The world is pwned by Nod's tiberium missile. Nasty.
Ending 3
World does NOT get NUKED. Kane and his hackers infiltrate gdi satellite command and allow player to ion cannon famous momuments in London, Paris, Berlin or Washington DC but basically bad :p
Ending 4
The Allies conquered, the player is in supreme control, Yuri presumed dead under the rubble of Kremlin.
Ending 5
Yuri imprisoned, soviets have signed the treaty, everything under control.
Ending 6
Yuri in Jurassic Era (gets eaten by T-Rex), Allies surrendered, Romanov in control. USSR builds space station and owns Moon.

Cross-pollination of Red Alert and Tiberian series'
In an interview with Frank Hsu (Yuri's Revenge producer) it was pointed out that "The Tiberian series is an entirely different game and universe" and so the two series do not really belong on the same timeline. It should be noted however that this appears to be an attempt at 'retconning' the obvious ealier decision by Westwood that the games are linked by both the inclusion of Kane and mention of the formation of GDI and Nod in RA1.
The Westwood Studios Official Command & Conquer FAQ v3.0 literally says:
RED ALERT is the next Command & Conquer game from Westwood Studios, and
is expected to release in the 4th quarter of 1996. A FAQ for RED ALERT
will be released later on that covers the details of this PREQUEL to
COMMAND & CONQUER: TIBERIAN DAWN.
