The Mongols just saw some towns out across the grasslands and said “I’ll have that.” Ad nauseum.
Historical nitpicks and footnootes. The unambiguous inflection point for all of Europe going “holy shit, new lands” was that Italian schmuck and his three boats.
Leif and company went “hey look, more Greenland” and barely amounted to Discovery channel dramatization. The century after Columbus’s return transformed three continents.
Columbus and his men killed a lot of people brutally. He wasn’t really a conqueror, more a murderer and a monster
