eventually failed and was more or less forgotten. Whereas Columbus' expeditions ushered in the period of Western European colonization of the American continents. Which, as youu know, we are the by-products of.
I'll even posit that had Columbus' not embarked on his voyages, not a single person on this board (or for that matter this board itself) would even exist!!
