I admit that I have no idea how the Americas could be decolonised, but if this actually happened, what would the Americas be like today? I think that the borders of sovereign states in the Americas would be drawn along ethnolinguistic lines and there might be many more countries in the Americas today. Furthermore, as a part of the effort to remove certain colonial influences, the name 'America' would no longer be officially used. However, European languages would still be considered official languages (alongside indigenous American languages, obviously) because so many indigenous Americans would be used to speaking European languages due to European colonialism. Eventually, the different American countries would voluntarily combine with each other to form a multinational organisation similar to the European Union. Greenland and the Caribbean islands would be neutral observer states of this multinational organisation. This multinational organisation would wield enormous clout on the international stage due to its abundance of natural resources.
