I'm planning on working on a TL (my first one :) ) in which European nations never see the "New World", or at least arrive a few centuries later than they did. What do you all think would happend to the Natives of North and South America? For example, the Aztecs only had governed their terriroty for a short time before the Spanish arrived. Same with the Inca. What would have been the fate of these empires had they been given more time? The multiple tribal identities of native North America remind me much of ancient France and the numerous Celtic tribes that inhabited it. Perhaps, given 5 or 6 more centuries, some of these tribal identities would have vanished, and some cohesive nation-states would have arisen? I will hopefully be exploring this idea in an upcoming TL. Let me know what you think!
