      It seems likely that someone else would have made their way to America from Europe I'd colombus hadn't. They already had the technology, and even if it took an extra century they'd still show up eventually

        Yeah, it was already suspected that there might be more landmasses out there, and people like Amerigo Vespucci was hot on his heels. If the Spanish crown lost Columbus to some unfortunate accident, they'd just hire someone like Amerigo

        So what you're telling me is that historical events are determined more by material conditions than by individuals? :stalin-pipe: Interesting idea
