  1. Dont take smallpox for sure. Vikings, celts, maybe basques, arrived to America be4 Columbus in our timeline and didnt brought the smallpox. What would screw america is if any of the colonizers made it part of its own sea trade empire. That doesn have to happen in this timeline.

  2.  @sryan9547  Germans wre already punching the celts with no help rom romans.

  3. Inner Anatolia gets much of its rain from the emditerranean sea, who here doesnt exist,and he black ea, that here is lesser. So quite likely the central highlands would be desert and farming would be possible only on the black sea coast.

  4. Well, point of this videa is that with no mediterranean, Sahara would be bigger and comunication between Africa and Asia dificult. So civs would be less developed.

  5. Mogols were succesful due to a single man, you cant say he will born here inside the mongols again. But certainly, great steppe warlords razing their neighbours is a historical constatn Chingiswas just the most succesful.

  6. Well, lots of crops here comes from mid east.

  7. Great wall never really mattered, steppe people had invaded China many times after its built.

  8. I dont see that. Lack of central rule was part of celt cuture, so they would have remained as a mosaic of tribes. Romans would had been nothing if not for their etruscans and greeks, who dont xist here, plus the celts.

  9. Why? Here they have no advantage, the rest of the he old world would be less developed, so they probably would be too.

  10. No way, America would have still the same characters than in our timeline be4 Columbus, and Europe would still have horses, metallurgy, some tech conections and same diseases.

  11.  @jaojao1768  They would have, most of their activity wasnt in southern Europe

  12.  @tomb.2224  thats wrong, they were their own civ, the first centuries they sere more advanced than the romans.

  13.  @inoch07  In our ownt imtline Sahara is most of time a desert. Can you give a reason why here should be otherwise?

  14. Yes, water would be redistributed over the oceans. I agree with this world being far less developed.

  15. Not really, this world could be more warlike and violent, there were value systems fr more violent.

  16. Agriculture was invented in many diferent places indepednet of the natufians.

  17. Why last? The yamanaya ancestors of celt culture arrived to the Alps through the north of the blac sea following the route you said. It probably would happen again

  18. Trotsky would had become leader>WW2 had started far sooner.

  19. Without european exploitation America would be barely more advanced than it was in our timeline. Who knows what India could became in this timeline. Africa was quite behind in our timeline, in this one without the mediterranean coumunication would be even more. Techs for travel and comunicate ideas are as important as techs for population. Only for population America shuld had been not far from Eurasia in tech.

  20. No way guy, amerindians 500 years ago were in a level that the chinese had arrived almost alone 3700 years ago. Geography didnt played wel for them.

  21. The persians werent able even of tame the scythians. I dont see them desiring to conquer Europe here, too far away, too underdeveloped. You cant know if Industrial revolution would exist without the cultural basis needed for it.

  22. In this timline Abraham wouldnt exist.

  23. Even if the chinese would discover Americ,a what amkes you think they would want to colonize it? No, ameriandians were still in a tech level very behind of ocean exploration. They still had millenias for arrive that point. European diseaes? Dont start with that racism, those disases were from all the old world, so in the case amerindians explorares would make contact with the old world, they would just die and the explorations would be left. What problem do you have with everyone having to imitate the feats and evils of the europeans? In dont see ocean abroad colonialism in his timeline. Are you another latinamerican europhobe? Then leave ll the european tech and culture and return to the mountains to farm and spak only a native tongue.

  24.  @minelliabrissiaud2321  Wich proof there is that chinese arrived to America? A shipwreck doesnt really count as arrive.

  25. No way gut of courseanyone that would live in the coast of Portugal would know Africa. Southern Africa? Who knows who would discover it. Too many options.

  26. Well, he is european. Can you do good alternate timelines of china or india or america?

  27. They got all that land be4 start to reced to the germans. He has reason, in this oirld, even if they ended conquered byt he germans, the most likely, european culture would have celt roots.

  28. Abraham wouldnt exist here. Monotheist can develop anywhere, steppe peoples, algonquines and certain ethiopic culture were monotheists. Zoroastrianism adopted heavenand hll?Not the opposite? Why would the chinese want to colonize America?

  29. For them basically no change.

  30. Most of that snow comes from mediterranean water.
