If Europe hadn't undergone the mass cullings from the Bubonic Plague, they'd be India-tier today in terms of population size.

Their cities would be brimming with people all over the place and there'd be piss and shit everywhere and national festivals of poop throwing much like India.

But Western Europe is very overcrowded sure, Germany have 100 millions in some area of 300 000 km2

Pointless speculation.

nah they'd have no incentive to industrialize and there would be no bourgeois class
It would be more like china in the 19th century, in fact the whole old world would today be more like china in the 19th century but with less opium
the Americas would be a clusterfuck, there might even be Ottoman colonies (Jesus Christ)

>there might even be Ottoman colonies
Colonies were a direct consequence of euros trying to not tip the ottos for eastern goods. Ottos would've no incentives to seek out other routes to the Orient because they already had a monopoly on the existing routes

The plague put an end to feudalism since the population decreased so much that the individual worker became more valuable, the importance in the individual rather than being one of a million ant/slave workers

Europe WAS India-tier during the Industrial Revolution. It got really bad until WWI, when the upperclass men got mowed down like wet grass, allowing the lower class men to move up the social ladder. WWII did the same thing for their women.

Cope. Europe has always been one of the richest parts of the world for its era.

Europe wasn't a monolith.

That's actually a pretty bad myth. Individual workers were actually more fucked over due to the nature of the plague and the mechanisms that cemented elite/moneyed rule and influence still remained.
