What would happen to Europe, which was mostly a poor back water at the time, if they could never access the New World, or at least not to the level of total domination that they did?
Assume that the new World still exists, but the natives are more advanced, or at least somehow able to fend off the Europeans, Muslims, Chinese, anyone who tries. What happens to the old world if the Europeans can not pull ahead?
