Europe

 * Celtic Brythonians managed to hold back the Anglo-Saxons, and Brittanian remained largley Celtic.
 * Vikings never discovered Iceland and the Irish monk colony their succeeded, causing Iceland rename as Thule with a Celtic population.
 * Napoleon's brother remained in control of Spain and conquered Portugal, who's royal familiy fled to Brazil. This would result in the collapse of the Portuguese Empire and cause most of their colonies to declare independance.
 * Belgium never revolted from the Netherlands.
 * Italy was never properly united.
 * The Baltic peoples were far more united under Lithuanian culture, and manged to repel many of the later German and Russian invasions.
 * After the Battle of Tours, King Charles the Hammer with greater help from Christian Frankish and Germanic tribes managed to drive the Umayyads out of Hispania, and all the way to North Africa where the Christian Kingdom of Mauritaunia was then set up. Other parts of Christian North Africa were eventually lost.
 * The 3rd Crusade was far more succesful, as the Emporer of the Holy Roman Empire did not drown, and the King of France didn't get sick, allowing them as well as the King of Mauritainia (Morrocco) to accompany King Richard the Lionheard. This allowed the Christians to retake much the Levant and keep a hold of it. These counties in the Holy Land later formed Greater Jerusalem.
 * Byzantium was never renamed Constantinople, and therefore never became Istanbul.
 * Britain remained predominantly Catholic, along with Ireland, but not Iceland.
 * Poland is a war-torn region fulled of proxy-wars betweem the German Empire, Russian Empire, and Kingdom of Lithuania.
 * Norweigen and Swedish culture never divereged, remaining Norse. The Finnish were later Norsized. These factors allowed for Scandinavia to stay united.
 * The Ottomans had better luck in converting the Georgians.
 * Micheal the Brave of Wallachia was not murdered in 1600 rather he died of natural causes much later, his son then ascended the throne and managed to hold the three principalities of Romania together. Because of this Romania in fully united under one king.

Asia

 * The Buddhist Uesegi clan unified Japan. This resulted in more widespread Buddhism over Shintoism in Japan.
 * Japan and Russia began the Japanese-Russian War earlier, and ended in 1898
 * After the fall of the Persian Empire, many Zoroastrians fled to Central Asia rather than India, producing predominantly Zoroastrian-Shamanist cultures amongs the Central Asians.
 * The Ottomans never assasinated all their Janissaries, allowing for them to retain a greater amount of power.
 * Sikhism was more predominant in Northwest India up to Kashmir, effectivley creating a wall between Hindus and Muslims, allowing India to remain more predominantly Hindu.
 * The Ottomans were stopped mostly past Anatolia by united Slavic forces.
 * The Taungoo managed to resist European conquest after allying with Siam.
 * The stronger-than-OTL Ottomans and Persian sset aside their diffirences and allied againt Europeans. Joined later by the Turkmen Federation they were able to resist the British and Russians.

Americas

 * Alaska and much of Western Canada was colonzied by Russia
 * Venezueala and Panama remained part of Gran Colombia, Ecuador didn't.
 * The Moors colonized most of the Caribbean.
 * Maya were unified and managed to defend themselves from the Toltec, and many rulers converted to Christianity when the Spanish came and were able to retain greater parts of their culture. This also results in the current Ajawa of Maya
 * Netherlands colonzied all of Guinea.
 * Mexican Empire remained.
 * Many Native American tribes in the Appalachians united into a confederation, and managed to secure s sizable amount of land for themselves to keep from the colonists.
 * Empire of Brittania colonized Greenland and mos of Canada, whereas France would end up colonizing most of OTL USA over to California (Which later became independant of Louisianne).
 * The Mormons managed to set up a succesful colony in Deseret.

Oceania

 * Portugal colonized Tasmania.
 * The Netherlands colonized New Ze e land
 * Melanesia was completely colonzied by Brittanica.
 * Indonesia was divided more amongst the Europeans.

Africa

 * Portugal colonzied Mozambique and Madagascar.
 * Shaka Zulu was never born, and as a result Afrikaaners are more predominant in South Africa, and make up about 35% of the population (OTL 15%). The British also were unable to defeat the Boers.
 * After the collapse of the Umayyads and conquest by King Charles the Hammer the Morrocans/Mauritaunians were Christianized. They were later considered Western and became a minor colonial-power.
 * Liberia would become an international colony to send free-slaves. Its name would also be Liberia instead of Sierra Leone because why not.
 * The Suez canal was created by Greater Jerusalem, with the help of the Brittanians who helped them secure Sinai from the Ottomans.
