Challenge: What historical changes would need to be made in order to make the majority of the world speak Latin? Or is Latin in any circumstance structured to decay into different dialects over a period of time?

All languages inevitably evolve into different forms. That's just, well, inevitable.Or is Latin in any circumstance structured to decay into different dialects over a period of time?
I believe that a Latinate language could become the majority tongue, but Latin as we know it couldn't. Mainly because it would doubtless mutate over the time it would take for a language to take over the world, but also because Latin as we know it is a structured and rigid language, and as English in OTL shows, the more successful languages are those that can and do absorb other languages like the Blob.
