    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”.
