Columbus discovered America for the Spanish crown.

The colonies were lost/sold.

Now they are being re-taken, thanks to our spanish-speaking, Indian brothers.

Everything travels in a circle.

Blood,

I thought the Asiatic peoples (most likely Chinese) who became Native Americans discovered America tens of thousands of years ago? Also those in the Norse expeditions to North America, starting with Bjarni Herjolfsson in 986?

Regardless, Columbus's discovery (or re-discovery, if you prefer) is rightly regarded as the most historically important, and will continue to be. That is because, unlike the others, Columbus inaugurated permanent large-scale two-way commerce between the Old World and the New.

Damn Spanish....... 🙂
