Okay, let's suppose that colonization is somehow delayed until the 1540s-1550s... maybe Columbus doesn't come back and some matters in Europe (new crusades? whatever...) distract the major powers' attention.
What would happen in the Americas without European colonization? I know the Aztecs wouldn't last forever... might their empire be invaded by the Tarascans? What else would happen during this absence?
