Read it all, I took the time out of interest. Well done. Too bad you found it necessary to wipe your social media clean. This is all I participate in.

You have an interest in history of course. Correspondingly, have you considered that by the 1540s the Spanish had advanced all the way to Potosi in South America where they establihsed a city at 13,000 feet and mined the top of a mountain, mostly conquered the civilizations of Central and South America and had established a significant if not thriving trade system with the Far East with transshipment locations in what is now the Philippines. Not only that of course but were sending back shiploads of booty to Spain. All of this was done before the English had even established a toe hold in the New World.

Thanks. It was a bunny hole I went down in 2019 for reasons that I cannot recall, but it was probably in response to a post at the time, a needed distraction from the drama (Russia collusion).

I am aware of Spanish exploits. That’s a bunny hole for another day ;-)
