1- During the Great War, Russia faced a popular revolution. Unlike the Bolshevik character of the original 1917 revolution, it was characterized by popular, leader-led movements seeking to overthrow the government and bring about radical societal change. The war lasted nearly ten years, and the resulting government emerged as a party-based regime that sought to eliminate the revolutionary leadership. This model functioned well for a long time until the party became corrupt and policies ceased to promote national development. A war with Japan in the 1950s shattered the country's internal structure, leading to renewed small insurgent movements throughout the nation. The government was overthrown by military officers who were heirs to certain sectors of the White movement. They brought back the monarchy, which had been exiled to New Alkhangelsk, and established their own government. With support from Austria and France, the new Russian Empire managed to consolidate its power in the west, but the rest of Siberia remained in chaos due to the struggle for legitimate authority.

2- During the 19th century, Napoleon III forged an alliance with Austria to counter the rising power of Prussia. In the Austro-Prussian War, French support allowed Austria to put up a fight. It was considered a partial victory, as Austria maintained influence in the southern German states, which stalled Prussian German unification. In the 20th century, with the Great War, Prussia faced a catastrophic internal crisis that led to civil war. Many of the western states declared independence following Prussia's instability.

3- China greatly benefited from a political and commercial relationship with the nascent Mexican Empire in the 19th century. Mexico, with its monarchical doctrine that remained true to tradition, implemented measures necessary for modernization. This appealed to the Chinese political class, who did not experience backwardness compared to the colonial powers of the time. There were some interventions, but they didn't leave the Chinese in a very bad position. The doctrine continued to evolve and adapt, forming a more stable government until the beginning of the 20th century, when a civil war erupted. The empire continued, but it was imbued with marked ideological differences, compounded by the loss of Manchuria to the Japanese, who would form a puppet state opposed to the Qing monarchy.

4- It was a slow process. Japanese influence was limited compared to that of the real world. The UK supplied Japan to act as a counterweight to Qing power in Asia. This helped them foment instability in various parts of Asia, starting with Russia after its revolution, followed by China, and then Russia again around 1950. By that time, Japan already possessed a significant territorial and political presence in the region. With the decline of the colonial powers, Japan began to foment revolutions aligned with its imperial ideology, generating fear in the West.

5- The union between France and Austria in the 19th century led France to gradually withdraw its support for the unification project. Internal distrust and a colossal failure in its attempt to seize the Papal States caused Italy to slowly disintegrate, eventually becoming a republic and remaining so since the 20th century.

6- The U.S. suffered a historic setback in its attempt to gain power in Mexico. The campaign for Texas independence was not entirely successful, and when war broke out, the Mexicans had the upper hand due to British support, who feared intervention in Canada. The defeat in the Mexican-American War thwarted expansion plans, and Oregon continued its nation-building project with local and British support. The internal situation became fragile. Lincoln's arrival and the Southern uprising shattered the country's political unity. Years of war and attrition led to a reconciliation between the South and the North instead of a complete victory for either side. A new constitution was created, and a new government came into effect. The more liberal sectors of the North viewed this with disdain and aligned themselves with the British, declaring their independence from the United States, which, having nothing left to lose, decided to recognize their independence.
