What if Columbus went south and east instead?
And survived, would I be dead?
Spanards versus Chinese armies and ships,
Would we (Americans) even exist?
Martial arts and gun powder might not cower,
While Africa might still be oppressed by colonial power,
No America, no Manifest Destiny, and different history books,
If Europeans went to Asia, how would the world look?
