After seeing this EU4 mod (
) I had the following idea for a new timeline.

Perhaps we don't physically remove the Americas from the world in an ASB timeline. Instead how could we make it so that the major world powers are unable to extract any significant value from the Americas?

Currently my idea is for the colonies in the Americas to declare independence from their home nations, then for the resulting nations to collapse into smaller bickering nations. Due to a stalemate no nation can dominate either North or South America. Constant bickering and their small size means that each individual state would be insignificant in the international stage. Ships and later aircraft can still pass through the region but due to a strong isolationist streak nobody outside the Americas is adding any of the nations to their power block.
