[quote=Anonymous]I think it should be celebrated.

I’m not Italian, but came here in the 1980’s from Eastern Europe.

So if Columbus never came across America, the native Americans would have still been in control of the American continent today?  Unlikely.

If Columbus did not get here first, you would have had explores from England, Spain, etc find this place eventually.  Heck, even Russia or China would have colonized “America” by now.

The Native Americans would have been taken over by a more advanced civilization one way or another.  In the 1000 years they were in control of America, they still hunted, lived in tents. They were not very advanced technologically.  Rome and Greece had running water, cites, roads……. And that was 1000 years before Columbus.

Also if America was never colonized, it would still be a backwards continent and we would still be in Europe or whoever your ancestors came from.

So god bless Columbus for finding America for Europeans and colonizing the area. This country and countries in South America would never be as advanced as they are now.  And if Columbus did not do it, China and Russia would have eventually.[/quote]
