I am interesting how World History would be changed and what would be the fate of the American continent if Columbus expedition had failed and the Europeans did not find America until the early 1600s.

Read Jared Diamond's "Guns, Germs and Steel"I always think that an interesting thought is if when the Europeans get to America they all die from Native disease their not used to.
Probabaly about the same.
The Inca probably would of eventually collapsed due to the fact that the Inka would marry his sister. The Aztec would probably continue until they overreached and the empire split which seemed to be quite likely. One effect that would come from an Inca and Aztec collapse would be make the conquest a little bit harder due to the fact that there would be no one central figure that could be seized.
Probabaly about the same. If the native americans hadn`t caught the diseases of columbus and his expedition then they would have been doomed to the same fate again. The europeans would have turned up with better guns and better abilities to colonize. The native americans would have lost 90% of their population to diseases they weren`t prepared for and would have been more easily displaced from their land by the even more advanced european weapondry.
The only real difference might have been some changes in the layout of countries in the american continent but on the whole these would have probabaly been superficial. The outcome would have been the same, native americans dead or oppressed european colonists sweeping across the continent to acieve mainfest destiny.
