About the New World. Columbus DID NOT discover it. In fact, Columbus never set foot on any part of North America. Amerifags, don't believe it when people say that Columbus discovered America, it isn't true. The first known settlers on ACTUAL NORTH AMERICA were the Vikings or people of Northern Europe and Greenland (lol Greenland). The French were also there doing shit. The reason the story is still passed around is because that the biography of Columbus written by Washington Irving was a bs story. Christopher Columbus DID NOT SAIL BECAUSE HE TRIED TO PROVE THE WORLD WAS ROUND. The world was already known as round by most navigators and such. He did it for the moneys gained by finding new trade.
This is what Columbus did: Get some guys, run a business proposal with the royalty, get some loan money, go out and sail, find land, kill people on said land, take their stuff (trade), and come back and get rich and screw bitches.
I am assuming that Sugata-sempai also wants to do this as well?
FORESHADOWING

>I am assuming that Sugata-sempai also wants to do this as well?
Sugata only has eyes for the President.

Index physics, Sora no Otoshimono

You do know that everything Sugata says eventually degenerates into random nonsense, right? The episodes start off with facts and half-truths, which transitions into non sequiturs and compelete lies.

HISTORY THREAD

Why don't you tells us about how Columbus landed in Haiti, enslaved it's people into the mines to dig for gold, committed genocide, and then started the Atlantic Slave Trade? What's wrong? Too real for you?

>implying the carribean isn't part of north america

Just kill yourself you turbine faggot. Also, Columbus didn't kill anyone.

Their story about Icarus was slightly off too, can't remember what he said, but he flew with his father to escape the labyrinth not because he wanted to just fly.

Did your American history teacher teach you that? I'm sure the teach the holocaust in germany and nanking in japan. Hell, they don't even talk about what happened in hiroshima and nagasaki in japanese schools.

Columbus didn't kill anybody. His actions indirectly led to the death of many people, but that was never his intention.

This is what it comes down to. I went to middle school, like you did. During middle school, my marxist social studies teacher showed me the same essay written by a Native American college student calling Columbus a murderer that you read.

I was smart enough to trust every other legitimate historian and history teacher as opposed to one article written by a butthurt hippie indian.

You were not.

actually, columbus was facing a mutiny at one point, but he said "guys, just give me 3 more days, and we'll reach land"
he thought he was going to land somewhere in Asia, as the best estimates for the size of the world said that it was about 18000 miles around, and we knew the approximate distance Marco Polo traveled from Italy to China was roughly 15000 miles, so if you were to sail from Portual going west, you'd only need to sail 3000 miles. Columbus knew he was close to that 3000 mile mark around day 30. It was pure dumb luck that north america was about 3000 miles away from europe.
