The Small World

The Western Hemisphere has been crucial in the development of the Human Race. After our crossing over Beringia, the rich Native american cultures filled the continents. Various Nordic and possibly Muslim colonies brought new diversity to this land, and eventually the Europeans destroyed the Native population. This would later lead to the birth of some of the most important countries in world history, including The United States. But what if there was no Western Hemisphere to colonize, no Natives to burn, no colonies to exploit. How would the world be different today?

Point of Divergence
The POD comes around the extinction of the dinosaurs. A massive beast, with webbed, mammalian wings and godlike powers flattened all of the land on the North American, South American, Caribbean, Cocos, Nazca, and Scotia Plates. This mean that most of the Americas, as well as a large portion of Eastern Russia, Northern Japan, and Western Iceland, are all leveled under about 10 feet of water. No human will ever be able to explain what happened to these land masses, and no major life seems to live there.
