With a POD after 1945 can there be a Oceania, Eurasia and Eastasia superstate until 1984???

From the novel we know that somethimes in the early 1950s there was a nuclear war with hundreds of nukes beeing dropped around the globe.

I would think the only way to get the three superstates into existence by 1984 is if the Korean war gets really hot. Mc Arthur uses nukes against the Chinese and as a result the Soviets bomb Europe and the US.

The Soviets conquer all of Europe except the British islands thus Eurasia is born.

The US conquers Britain and its colonies + South America as "protection" against Eurasia thus oceania emerges.

China manages to repell a Soviet invasion and conquers all its neighbours thus Eastasia is born.
