Thinking about the factual errors in the EA book it occurs to me that one way to "correct" at least some of them is to assume that this Earth's history diverged from the one we know sometime prior to the twentieth century (and to account for some of the geographical errors, it would have to be a long time prior). In this way Austria could have been part of the USSR in this timeline and so on. You could even point to the idea of B5's history not being "our" history as being canon if you look at Sheridan's comments about the attack on Coventry.
