@superkamiguru6856 the main thing here is complacency The greeks would only have one or potentially 2 main competitors Carthage and potentially Persia. Persia would probably have a pretty high economic dependence on the other 2 though so I won't count them This leaves Greece and Carthage when there's only 2 groups competing it always results in "fairly peaceful" eras in the core meanwhile war on the edges. Just look at the cold war or a much better example the relationship between Rome and Persia constantly fighting over Mesopotamia and Armenia while never fighting on core.

@christiandauz3742 okay now that I know its serious I know it would dramatically change history he brought up why. Alot of stuff you brought up though is ignoring cultural factors for example vaccines would not be shared with the native americans. Humanitarianism the reason why the west shares tech today would probably not be developed without the wests guilt baised civilization. My best guess is it would probably end up more like china trying really hard to keep tech like the crossbow away from everyone else. Eventually if the andies and central america can rebuild from the diseases probably would find out but the damage would allready be done. Im not going to go into the rest because This allready is one massive comment.

@christiandauz3742 humanitarianism is as old as time. altruism is not humanitarianism, that developed out of the west in the 1800s. Your point about the phoenicians not being "racist" they had a heavy in group bias and could be put into the group of "proto-racism" which you probably know nothing about although it was alot more cultural than anything. Edit also you have brought up atheism would be dominant by 100 bc 2 times now are you joking even now christianity is dominant in alot of us state industrialization did nothing to japanese shintoism and iran and turkey can still be very religious and industrialized. Modernity and religions coexsist now hell just look at israel.
