Toledo
1492
Dear Ferdinand and Isabella,
Congratulations on expelling all of your Jews. Of particular interest are the Conversos who decided to cross the Atlantic. I’m sure they’ll come to nothing.
Can’t wait to see how your empire fares without innovation once you run out of gold to plunder. We’ll check in with you in a few years.
PS those Conversos have settled places like Jamaica and are already plundering your ships all over the Caribbean.
We hear they are working with some guys over in another unimportant island called England.
Good luck with the whole Naval Supremacy thing.
Adios!
Hey Germany, thanks for Einstein.
