Columbus Day is a cloudy, dubious and regretted holiday to many in 2013. Yet, I do wonder, literally where would we be if Columbus had never journeyed from Palos, Spain in August of 1492.
Columbus's plan was to find a route to China. He also thought he might well make contact, as well, with Japan and India.Columbus had no idea that there were two continents that were in the way.
The Vikings has landed had landed in North America nearly 500 years ago. They started a colony known as Vinland. Yet, Over time it was abandoned to vanish back into the wilderness. Sweden would eventually set up a colony in what is now Delaware and New Jersy . The Colony was named New Sweden.
We know that no one in the time of Columbus knew of The Great Atlantic Continents. W#e also have found no evidence that those who lived where we are now new of Europe a half of millienium ago.
So, Where would be now if these voyages and the voyages of those who followed them did not occur?
