It would also disrupt things in China, Thailand (Siam), and India. In that case, you can use the opportunity to expand upon African and American civilizations. Perhaps Africa will colonize far away places circa 1900? Or maybe, American civilizations will be advanced enough to repel East Hemisphere invasions.

One idea I've had for a while is giving North and Central American natives developing in a way similar to the Classical Near East and Europe. Perhaps Mayans = Babylonians, Aztecs = Assyrians, some northern group like the Apache becoming like Persia, and a series of city states along the Mississippi becoming Greece?
