What If The Pre-Columbian Americas Modernized & Westernized like Japan

[u/[deleted]]

I would like to preface that I know nothing and that this is my first time posting on this subreddit; so I don't exactly know what I'm doing, and I might be unknowingly breaking a rule. Here we go:

Exactly as the title of this post states.

I somewhat noticed that early Japanese culture and Pre-Columbian American cultures have vague similarities (with one of them maybe being somewhat animist).

However, unlike in this timeline, the Americas would not have been colonized by the European powers.

The European powers would instead establish trade with modernist Amerindians, where they would be enthusiastic adopters of everything European, modern, and Western; as Japan and the Japanese were and still are in this timeline.

What do y'all think?

Please let me know.
