Colombus, The Spanish Armada

Colombus goes and explores a new land that was discovered a long time earlier by non-Caucasians (Present day AmerIndians) and most likely by Caucasians as well (Vikings and other cultures). The Spanish Armada was crushed in a storm. The Spanish Armada was also not even a quarter of the size of the Chinese fleet sent by the Ming Emperor to explore The Indian and Pacific Oceans. It was smaller than the Moghal Emperor's navy. And it was also a losing force.

The Chinese navy was on the decline after 1450, and the last bit ordered destroyed in 1526. By 1500, the naval technology of Europe and China were at parity. So says the linked piece. Isn't the internet wonderful?
