Good grief ... if not Columbus, someone would have eventually settled on this side of the pond. Many tried before him and others came after him. Can’t blame him for western civilization coming this way.
Exactly. The Euros back then (unlike the spineless, socialist weasels they are now) were risk-takers and adventurers. Someone eventually would have stumbled upon the New World and thank God it wasn’t a Muzzie.

If Colombus had not discovered the New World it would have been discovered a few years later by the Portugese on their way to India by way of circumventing Africa.
And if the Indians had discovered the OLD WORLD they would have still died off due to European diseases.
