I'm not against him or for him.
"He discovered America"
Technically the Romans did
bruv what
pardon?
And bringing small pox was good for the Americas
He wasn't really of any significant importance, we would have found the Americas eventually anyways and we would've colonised them just the same
the smallpox thing was unintentional
it was because Europeans had a stronger immune system than the natives
>the Romans did
Get fucked natives
**Please discuss his actions and controversy. No Shitposting**
Dat imperialist life
they brought their animals and shit with them that was full of germs the europeas were immune to, not the natives

There is evidence of Romans on the americas
Roman weaponry, a submerged roman vessel in Brazil, etc
Obviously they never colonised it or anything even close
must mean Roman america happened amiright
No, of course not
But the point his, Columbus did not discover America
of course he didn't
no one thinks that
people have been living there for centuries
he had only discovered it for europeans at the time
the roman discovery was irrelevant at the time just like it is today
I wouldn't say it was "irrelevant"
I mean they didn't keep any documents of the discovery
But I understand what you mean
Well actually we don't know that
The likelihood is that they did but they have since been destroyed
the jews did it
Especially since its possible to read the entirety of the remaining roman documents from the entire period in a lifetime
There was much, much more and the Americas were probably mentioned, but it was most likely destroyed in the centuries to follow
If it was discovered and completely forgetten about for the next upward of a millennium, I'd say the Romans discovery was insignificant
Then you're a fool
The fact they were capable of doing so, and so early on in itself opens up an entirely new area of discussion on roman history
Assuming it was even intentional
Intentional or not, it was achieved
