AHC/WI: No Enlightenment

What if the Enlightenment or equivalent never happened in Europe or anywhere else? What would technology be like? How would it affect the European empires?

It is hard to give an answer to this namely because without a POD there isn't really any 1 way that this could go about and it is a super hard thing to prevent.

And the way in which it is somehow prevented is going to dictate a lot of how events afterwards unfold.

The enlightenment never happening implies small things like the printing press never being created which is a tad challenging in the long run.
