Islam means submission to the Will of the One God, the Creator of the Cosmos. The God of Adam, of Noah, of Abraham, of Joseph, of Moses, of Jesus, of Muhammad and of all the prophets ( Peace be Upon Them). He created all living beings, the Eternal, the Sustainer. He revealed Divine books on His prophets for the guidance of mankind in different ages and different times over the course of human existence, the Torah, the Psalms, the Gospel..the Holy Quran being the Last and Final Message to mankind revealed on the Last Prophet, Muhammad (Peace be Upon Him). Every human being during the course of his/her short worldly life has an opportunity to come to terms with the ultimate reality as enshrined in the Holy Quran, as death will not give a second opportunity. Islam is the fountain of faith,justice, fair play, humility, compassion, kindness, valor, empathy,sacrifice and pursuit for the eternal. These permanent principles of excellence are in accordance with the very Spirit of Islam and the glorious life of the Holy Prophet Muhammad ( PBUH) (the Sunnah) exemplifies these principles of splendid conduct in the finest form.
The Pacific is WAY bigger than the Atlantic. You can fit the Earths entire land mass in the Pacific, and still have room left over for geography the size of the Indian subcontinent. So having a colony across the Pacific would've been costlier and more of a risk than sailing across the Atlantic. Also, China was a hegemonic power, with no competing nations in a race for maritime colonization. This hegemony also stunted the development of firearms, which the Chinese invented
The Second French Empire was led by Napoleon III, who doesn't resemble the drawing. Also, he did not try to prevent German unification. The Franco-Prussian War resulted from Bismarck fabricating an insulting response to the French regarding the succession of the Spanish throne. The unification of Germany was a consequence of that war: all the German states united against a common enemy. However, it took several wars to lead to this moment, along with the sidelining of Austria. Finally, the Germans did not specifically occupy Versailles; they proclaimed the birth of Germany there as a way to humiliate France.
It is also interesting to know what positions were taken by the people who went into exile in 1959. The majority of the Tibetan population at that time was far too poor and destitute to even be able to make the long journey into exile. They were the nobility, landowners, monks and high lords who brutally ruled over 95% of the population, whose descendants today presume to be the "free voice of Tibet."
3:00 "After 1815, Britain and France never went to war again." Well, not officially, anyway. Unofficially ... British and French soldiers last killed each other in battle in 1943.
Have they stopped? During negotiations of the Allied leaders at Versailles, after the First World War, Clemseu of Grance accused Britain's Lloyd George of Britain being an enemy of France for not wanting the punishing repairation conditions France wanted of Germany. Lloyd George joked it was Britain's traditional relationship with France.
It takes more than a few fancy inventions to have an industrial revolution: you need access to the right mix of resources, the ability to reallocate labour from agriculture, and a mass market with the disposable income to absorb the increased output. Neither Rome nor medieval or early modern China or India had those, which is why none of them had any hope of becoming an industrial economy, for all their ingenuity.

The poles, Hungarians, Romanians, Finns, Estonians, Latvians, Lithuanians, Czechs, Slovakians and Ukrainians would have been happy with that alternate scenario
