What if...
Bartholomaus Welser's German colony (1528) in North America survived. The best way to have this happen, most likely, is for the colony to be in a different location. The colony failed because of A) a bad climate which caused tropical diseases, and B) brutality to the natives.
How can you reposition the colony so that these are lesser factors? Then, how can you increase immigration in order for the colony to survive? Finally, had the colony survived, what would the history of North America have looked like?
