The War of Empires (1852-1858) is the equivalent. Technology is about 80-100 years ahead due to the fact that the Eastern nations had no dark ages, so it had nuclear bombs used in it. It was Spain, Bytzantines, and Romania and Persia (both controlled by Bytzantines) versus Sri Vijaya, Japan, China, India, and a bunch of smaller nations.
