If you look back over this thread I do use non-Western events and cultures as changepoints. The problem is the details. Example: Before the Islamic invasions of the middle ages Hindu Indian society didn't have a tradition of writing history. Which makes changing India's history before the year 1000AD tricky at best. Indonesia has had a problem of survival of historical records, one neat changepoint there might be the introduction of a durable cheap material to write on. They're certainly better placed than Britain to be a sea-based world empire.
