Modern America is Europe’s way of trading with China by moving Europe one continent to the west since the Bedouins have pretty much cut off the overland trade routes to the east

Umm...you do know this is the 21st century, right? And the overland trade route problem was solved in the days of Vasco de Gama?

Also to be resolved is Norway’s interdiction of traderoutes to the yet-to-be-discovered New World, which reduced trade with the yet-to-be-discovered British North America until the foxy Queen Elizabeth allowed England to develop an actual Navy.
