If colonialism never happened, how would the world be today?

Good question. I imagine that with colonialism you mean the expansion of empires during the nineteenth century. Thinking about demography, Europe would be overpopulated. America much less populated. In Africa and Asia there would be many cultures that were crushed by colonial empires.

As a result of the above, political, social and economic pressure would be very strong in Europe, there would be much more poverty and a struggle for resources, which would lead to great wars within the continent.

It's hard to think about it anyway. I think it is only possible if we imagine a world in which the industrial revolution arose later. And in several places of the world at the same time.

Sweden wouldn't have lost Finland aka the lost state of Sweden. And hopefully fucked norway and Denmark uniting the North against Southern fucks

We would be a billion separate countries

[ThisDudeHere]

Not as advanced, that's a given. Resources wouldn't go around the world as much and would be concentrated in one place (Europe/America) where they could be exploited for new inventions.

European languages and standards (like measure of weight and distance) wouldn't be so widespread. Other than that there would still be roughly the same poor and rich countries with roughly the same problems since most colonialism actually kept local elites in place as vassals so much of the same people would have ruled the colonies anyway.

According to the butterfly effect, if colonialism didn't happen, none of us would likely be alive.

I'm glad colonialism happened because i'm alive here now

[normielover6969xD]

Any action may and most probably has lead to your birth. Ranging from someone deciding to take a shit to a drop of rain on a car window. I love the butterfly effect.

I'll be right back I need to poop

[BoySittingOnTheMoon]

There would be a functioning caliphate right now in the Middle East and Asia and some parts of Europe and probably more.

I don't know man. I don't think there's a way to know that or even make an educated guess about it.
