Nothing is impossible, though. I think so anyway.

In one universe France could have conquered England and held it long enough so that French language is even more widespread (also means that all the land ever held by Britain otl is also held by France)?

In another Korea could have been the stronger empire, constantly beating both China and later on, Japan, and become the greatest empire we've ever seen. Maybe Korea might have conquered all of East and South East Asia and held on to it since?

In another universe Vietnam remains divided, thus having three countries (later two) being divided.

ASB they may all be, and may be impossible to some. To me, I wouldn't think so. But even then, would few things still remain the same? Could be.

With France having both otl French and British Empire lands may have made French language even more widespread and can just safely assume Ukraine would be left alone and be still independence today, without ever being affected by the huge French Empire (that is if Ukraine is never mentioned in a time-line).

With Korea having massive empire, Croatia would still exist as a nation after the fall of Yugoslavia (if they were never mentioned at all).

Vietnam divided, not much change, so most nations would not be mentioned and be mostly unaffected.
