What would the world be like if Europe never colonized?
If Europeans never colonized and invaded America, the native nations and tribes would continue to interact in trade. The Europeans would trade with the Eastern tribes and the Chinese would trade with the Western tribes. This is basically the Columbian exchange without the dizzies and devastation.

There is a tendency to believe that European settlement of the Americas was inevitable (several students even postulated that it would have taken longer.) But to address the question; with the expansion of the World as it was and is, the Americas would never have been left a pristine wilderness.
Which countries become the dominant world powers?
The dominant world powers that develop are China and the Islamic world, though there are other powers – he puts steamships in the hands of a conquering ruler of Kerala in south India, and a Native American nation rises in North America.
