No colonial divisions of the world. European powers negotiate with the native populace of any given region rather than conquer them, and borders of new nations are drawn up based on actual ethnic, tribal, and religious populations.

borders of new nations are drawn up based on actual ethnic, tribal, and religious populations. We'll keep this from going the political route, please, but I'd dare say that would result in an even more stagnant world. Less intermixing of ideas and concepts due to the segregation, less innovation.

All I know is that we can send robots to the other side of the galaxy, but still can't figure out how to make pets' medicine taste good enough that they'll actually take it. They don't know what they're missing. These heart worm pills are delicious. I managed to condition my dog into recognizing the pills as treats. Except I have to play a game where I pretend like I'm gonna eat it and then she grabs it from me.

We would have had the first black/hispanic/american-indian woman robot president by now.

Iraq, 1258: Mongols decide to not destroy the libraries at Baghdad. Medieval China, in general: Song defeats Jin and Mongols. Or: Ming defeats Manchu. On the flipside, had Constantinople not fallen, we may not have gone exploring. Afterall, despite what people think, Europeans weren't "gold crazy". It's just that their gold was simply traveling one way; out of Europe. So screw those annoying Persians! We'll find our own spice routes! Uh...wait a minute...what is this gigantic land mass?
