Columbus is overrated.
Christopher Columbus' Legacy
Explore the intricate history of America’s discovery, Christopher Columbus's 1492 voyage, pre-Columbian explorers, and the impact of exploration on indigenous peoples.

To add to the controversy, Columbus's navigational expertise, although commendable, was heavily influenced by earlier maritime exploration and knowledge. Notably, Columbus openly referenced a world map by his influential mentor, Paolo dal Pozzo Toscanelli, during his voyages. Paulo Toscanelli was famous for two 1474 letters to Christopher Columbus and Canon Martins Fernan Martinez de Roriz, King Alfonso of Portugal’s confessor at the Court in Lisbon, in which he advised them about reaching the Indies, suggesting a map for the journey. In these letters, Toscanelli told them that the earth was a sphere and that China could be reached by sailing west from Spain. Toscanelli wrote that Pope Eugenius IV received an ambassador from China and that he, Toscanelli, obtained this information from him and from “men of great learning” who came to Florence in the time of Eugenius IV. Yet in 1474, when Toscanelli wrote these letters, Europeans had not reached southern Africa and it was another eighteen years before Columbus set sail for the Americas.
Therefore, the question of who really discovered America is complex, reflecting numerous unexplained early voyages to America and ongoing controversies about who explored America first. Columbus's achievements built upon pre-existing maritime knowledge and earlier European explorers' experiences, thus illustrating the collective nature of the Age of Exploration.
Although many were killed by the Euros, and some intentionally infected, 90% of Native American deaths were from contact with nasty diseases imported from Europe...which, in turn, had imported them from Africa or the Far East.
The Black Death killed as many Euros as Euro diseases killed Native Americans;
Black Death
The Black Death was a plague pandemic that devastated medieval Europe from 1347 to 1352. The Black Death killed an estimated 25-30 million people. The disease originated in central Asia and was taken...

The Story Of... Smallpox – and other Deadly Eurasian Germs
Much of the credit for European military success in the New World can be handed to the superiority of their weapons, their literary heritage, even the fact they had unique load-bearing mammals, like horses. These factors combined, gave the conquistadors a massive advantage over the sophisticated civilisations of the Aztec and Inca empires.
But weapons alone can't account for the breathtaking speed with which the indigenous population of the New World were completely wiped out.
Within just a few generations, the continents of the Americas were virtually emptied of their native inhabitants – some academics estimate that approximately 20 million people may have died in the years following the European invasion – up to 95% of the population of the Americas....
...When the Europeans arrived, carrying germs which thrived in dense, semi-urban populations, the indigenous people of the Americas were effectively doomed. They had never experienced smallpox, measles or flu before, and the viruses tore through the continent, killing an estimated 90% of Native Americans.
Smallpox is believed to have arrived in the Americas in 1520 on a Spanish ship sailing from Cuba, carried by an infected African slave. As soon as the party landed in Mexico, the infection began its deadly voyage through the continent. Even before the arrival of Pizarro, smallpox had already devastated the Inca Empire, killing the Emperor Huayna Capac and unleashing a bitter civil war that distracted and weakened his successor, Atahuallpa.
In the era of global conquest which followed, European colonizers were assisted around the world by the germs which they carried. A 1713 smallpox epidemic in the Cape of Good Hope decimated the South African Khoi San people, rendering them incapable of resisting the process of colonization. European germs also wreaked devastation on the aboriginal communities of Australia and New Zealand.
More victims of colonization were killed by Eurasian germs, than by either the gun or the sword, making germs the deadliest agent of conquest.
Wow. That explains why all the MAGA morons and other enemies of the Constitution don't know shit about history.
