The USA would still be a native american land if millions of people had not been wiped out by Europeans

The Native Americans would have been much better off if they had simply strangled Columbus and all his crew the moment they made landfall..

I get the humor in what you say, but it's worth noting that the Native American civilizations were collapsing due to disease brought by earlier European visitors by the time Columbus set sail.

Granted, history probably would've been largely the same if Columbus' expeditions were unsuccessful, given the English, French, Dutch and Spanish appetites for empire building

There's a saga that is about "what if Columbus arrived to America but never got back to Europe?". It's "the tale of the feathered serpent".

That sounds super neat. When I google it I find these books amongst other more confused seeming results. Is that the right ones or is it something else?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Yeah, I found the same books, and they don't seem like the right one.

It's "chronicles", not "tales", sorry. By Edgardo Civallero.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 days ago (1 children)

I can't find an English edition, unfortunately for me.

No worries. Now I know it exists...maybe I can find a translation or translate it myself with Google if I can get a copy at all 🤣

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

You can say that about almost everywhere white explores showed up

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 week ago

And it's true!
