Challenging Map Challenge

Last night I had an odd dream; I was looking at a history textbook of the world in 1960... but the world looked like this!

The main states as I remember are The British Empire which is undergoing decolonisation in Africa, the Dominion of the French, the Republic of Peking and the Kingdom of Borneo. Not remembering any of the others, I left their boundaries as OTL.

Any thoughts? :p

A British Netherlands and western Germany could be explained by a British intervention in the thirty year war or maybe even in the eighty year war, Elizabeth accepting the offer to the Dutch crown for example. French north africa doesn't seem that unreasonable, but French Turkey and middle east? Uber Borneo is interesting, no idea how to accomplish that.
 
Theres obviously been no world war or if there was maybe France v the Ottomans? (explaining French Middle East?)
Uber Borneo - Japan takes the region, which eventually rebels or is allowed to secede, forming its own independent nation when Manchuria threatens military action/ declares war?

Hows that for stabs in the dark? :D
