(Disclaimer: This author does not in any way support or excuse genocide or the politics behind it, but is merely positing a hypothetical alternate history scenario.)
If the American states had, for some reason, officially or implicitly pursued a policy of genocide on the American Indians, how would the world change? The assumption is that the Americans actively attempted to exterminate the Indians, throughout North and South America alike, and then destroyed what traces remained of them in a Carthaginian fashion. By 1900 at the latest, the process would be complete (an arbitrary date set for a rough outline).
The differences would be most noticeable in South America, of course, but what would change elsewhere, in the US and in the world?
