..."Europe getting United" scenario?
Assuming that Europe is united under one political entity (by the Romans, Carolingians, etc), then what will happen to Industrial Revolution and Colonization of the New World...?

Would Industrial Revolution happened earlier or later than in OTL? Would it still happened in Europe or other place? China, maybe? What would be the differences with OTL Industrial Revolution?

And then what would happen to OTL Americas? Who would be the most likely to colonize it? Would its discovery accelerated or delayed?
