They would suddenly gain the potential to quickly occupy shitloads of land, but without the ability to properly administer it it would soon collapse like a mesoamerican version of alexander the great's empire, leaving many different regions with the same technology.

The Regions on the edge of the previous empire would be the best equipt to now expand into vulnerable territory, excluding natural barriers.

Due to the size of the americas and the radical change in climate as you go north and south, this process would likely happen several times, until all of america possessed the new technologies.

Due to a lack in foundation, they are not able to develop this technology further for centuries.

Frigates could not be used to go across the oceans as they have no knowledge of astronomy.

Population centres would grow, cities would develop, trade routes would emerge, and we would see a radically different world, in which the europeans were not able to colonise america, or invade it at all.

I'd argue that's not a fair comparison, since the soviets industrialised already by the 50's in the real world.

That section of north america may have ended up much more similar to africa.

Also no british colonisation of america means the british empire gets a bit nerfed (no canada), and ultimately of course no usa. Instead we'd get a bunch of slowly developing post-colonial native american nations.

Alternatively if it's just the east coast, it would be interesting to see what would eventually happen to central north america (virginia territory), which would not be vaccinated, but it would be behind the iroquois and etc. Meaning that the region would get fully colonised and be british(/french or spanish), but then post-colonisation it would be a caucasian region straddled between the rocky mountains and the newly independent native american nations of the east coast, who would have much worse technologies. Very interesting dynamic. They would almost certainly be seperated at first due to ethnic differences, since it would be feasible for the natives to initially get their own countries due the their tech. But then there would be a huge incentive for the virginians to eventually invade the eastern native countries for access to the atlantic, who would effectively be re-colonised now by local whites.
>>
>>352460
I guess you could teach them the specific use of the tech when you give them it.

Also steam engine technology has huge utility and it would inevitably spread by osmosis, making the old world much more connected if nothing else.

Ah, my bad, I didn't think far enough about the tech.

Still, I think the virginia area would provide an interesting dynamic. If the euros can't invade the east, would they be able to get to the central bit down south through hudson bay? (It's fertile and desirable land I think) Or would it be logistically too difficult to colonise? (Assuming the spanish still initially get the part west of the rockies)

In the latter scenario, the east coast natives would probably invade virginia due to it being depopulated from lack of vaccines. Usually when you have this sudden competition for contiguous land, one or a few of the competitors proves more resourceful, and gets a huge chunk of it, and then procedes to subjugate his prior equals. See: iberia. So you'd probably end up with some large native empire(s) in north america.

In the former scenario, the euros start colonising virginia, but then it easily declares independence after some time due to how logistically challenging it is for the colonial powers to maintain power since they have to loop in through the top. It may prove challenging to properly colonise, so we'll possibly see the natives, spain from the south/west, and maybe ex british/french colony around hudson bay slowly all encrouching virginia.

not if you tell them that the submarines are sacred weapons sent by the Sun god and that they are only allowed to use it when ships come close to theirs coasts. But they don't have to worship the submarines or alter any of their religious practices or culture because of the sacrality of those submarines, they must consider it as natural weapon of protection. Thus not influencing the course of events and resulting in having a non interrupted pure american civilizations. The extreme isolationism would end when the societies have developed enough to not be influenced by europe. One century is enough to persuade european kingdoms that sailing through atlantic means death. After so many ships never returning the pope would say some shit like "you see what happens when you try to circumnavigate you heretics ? Haven't you read Dante you fuckers ?

You don't specify that these technologies have to be currently in existence, or how broad the categories are, so I am going to maybe take a couple of liberties.

Britain 1707
>effective and safe human eugenics
>1800 manufacturing technology
>offshore oil rigs

genetic engineering would create a much more intelligent population, and geniuses could be cultivated and provided for specifically, which would lead to rapid development of new ideas and technologies. Economic development would facilitate military power.

Britain's inherent advantage would become greater the longer we kept genetic technologies to ourselves. Eugenics would increase the intelligence of the population generation by generation and everyone else would be starting from behind.

Europe could be conquered, significant anglo populations could be created in the colonies and so long as Asian and African populations were controlled European Hegemony could continue ad infinitum.

Now if you don't know what a C-RAM is, it's basically the land variant of a CIWS, which is a navy weapon implemented in the 1980s to fuck up incoming missiles. The land variant can fuck pretty much anything larger than a 20mm. Considering that cannon balls are, iirc, fairly slow compared to modern artillery fire, 10 of these bad-boys will make any position unassailable by anything. Because it's RADAR guided.

Oh, and it's effective range is 2.2 miles. Just try taking away muh freedom, Yankee scum.
