(OOC: All right, there's been a fair amount of DBWI-hateage recently, and not without reason. So let's try and do one properly. Firstly, this is a DBWI, i.e. there was a POD separating this timeline from OTL, and from the perspective of people living in TTL we're asking what we think OTL would look like - which, it is expected, we will get amusingly wrong due to our preconceptions colouring our judgement. The POD here is that humans never entered the Americans, which is a bit ASB I admit, but it's sufficiently far in the past that it shouldn't affect our discussion, it just sets up the scenario)

So I was reading about African resistance to European colonisation the other day, and it got me thinking: what if the Americas had had native peoples as well? Not as technologically advanced as Europeans probably, but still people living there on the land who would have resisted encroachment by European colonisers, instead of the virgin uninhabited land our ancestors discovered? How would history have been different?
