Well, at first I thought it was glow bull warming. Then I thought maybe so Spain could subjugate and enslave anyone they stumbled on. Nope. Mooselimbs. Again. They've been a thorn for a long long time. Guess all they need is a hug and a good job. Right?

It’s worth noting that the Spanish Inquisition occurred right after Spain freed itself from 700 years of moorish (muslim) rule.
Draconian brutality in the name of religion was all they knew, all they have ever known, for over 25 generations.

[The background of the Islamic state occupying large areas of Europe began when Muslim crusaders, called “Moors,” invaded Spain in 711 A.D.]
I'm sorry, but that was "The Moops".

I think he had the hots for Queen Isabella and wanted to impress her.

Columbus discovered America as a reaction to Muslims closing the trade routes to China/India after the conquering of Constantinople?? Very interesting! I’ve never heard of this before.

Why did he do it in 1492?
Well, in 1491, he didn’t have the ships ready, and by 1493, he’d already done it.
That kinda cut down his options.

Very interesting.
And that prediction that the Islamic conquerors would control the world in a few years ALSO did not come true.
Humans not the greatest bettors.

This is only half the story. Columbus wanted to find a route to the Indies and acquire wealth for one reason and one reason alone. He wanted to finance a new Crusade to retake the Holy Land. It’s all right there in his own writings.
