When we look back at the '90s through rose-colored glasses, we can see that the Soviet Union left a bunch of capitalistic, democratizing states in the wake of its collapse, China was not rich enough to pose a threat to anyone, and basically all we had to worry about then were... terrorists, or at least non-state actors stirring up ethnic conflict in third world countries that we only see on CNN.

Is there any way for the 1990s to be a time in which the world remained mired in a starring contest between superpowers, probably including the U.S./NATO/West as one of the starers?
