If in 1900 Eurasia was the mistress of the world and Afroamerica only its crumbs, by the year 2100 the two major regions will be on an equal footing, becoming two colossi with roughly equal proportions of demography, economy, influence and culture. The new geopolitical atmosphere of the world is mainly due to the planetary demographic modeling and its distribution across the continents, so in the 1800s and 1900s Afroamerica held only 12% and 16% of the world's population, reaching 30% in 2019 and over 50% 2100, when it will most likely surpass the Eurasia demographic power, creating new major demographic, economic, cultural and major trade routes, not existing in the 1900s or 2000s.
