How would Europe and the rest of the world have been without America?

Well, if Spain had not lost resources and population in conquering, colonizing and controlling the continent, somewhere it would have invested all efforts...

Portugal had India already, and a lot of logistical bases to reach it in Africa and SW Asia, but we were more focused on Europe and NA at that time, so maybe Sean would speak perfect Spanish and would only post news about how wonderful their Iberian ancestors were and how ugly and lazy the ancient inhabitants of the British Isles were.

It would have been better for Amerindians and worse for the rest of the world.

I'm not really sure about that.

Most of Europe would Speak Ruski or Deutch.

Depend which Amerindians. The majority of the Amerindians were being slaved, sacrified, killed etc by other Amerindians.

Europe would be different. Without the American gold Spain could not have fought in Euope against Protestants and in the Mediterranean with Ottomans, and now there would be not Catholics in France, Germany, Czech Republic, Belgium and Netherlands. FACT.

Or quite the opposite as I said.

South America definitely won from the whole colonization stuff but I was referring to North American ones mainly. They were more often fucked up. Of course, backstabbing existed among them, too.
