To oversimplify things, the Q'ing Empire consisted of Five Races Under One Union despite being dominated by a sort of hybrid Han-Manchu culture, particularly in the political and urban spheres. The five races were the Han, the Manchu, the Mongols, the Tibetans, and the Hui, who at the time seem to have included the Uighurs for oficial purposes. Thus, my question is this: Is it possible to have today an independent state for each of these five groups today with a POD sometime after 1912 but before 1945?
I'm aware that ethnic Manchus would likely be a minority in any viable, independent Manchuria with such a POD, but I suspect that there would be ways to manipulate this.
In essence, I want, as separate countries today:
Is it possible? Discuss.

In essence, I want, as separate countries today:
- A Mongol state (easy since there is one in OTL)
- A Manchu state (obviously with strong Han influences)
- A Han state, preferably Han chauvinist in character
- A Uighur state (Presumably all of modern Sinkiang)
- A Tibetan state
Is it possible? Discuss.
