Question

i asked a couple questions about spanish discovering America and some of them answerd that it wasn't sapnish people who discovered America but someone else, so u all answer me this one question. Most of our race are from England and other European countries and we knew about America not because of indians or other people we knew about it because of the spanish didn't we? if u come out with a negative question so tell me why does the goverment in the usa,canada,mexico and latin america have the discovery of America by columbus as a hollyday?

Answer 1

It appears that America was discover by vikings , in 1000 a. Ch. They was a sea people , best warriors . and they lead by Eric the Red , in a journey to Greenland an Terra Nova ( Canada ).

Answer 2

It is now secured knowledge that the Vikings sailed from Greenland, which they had colonized by that time, also to America - approx. 500 years before Columbus did.
When the climate got colder again and Greenland was not a good place to live anymore that connection was not longer maintained.
Columbus' re-discovering of America (much more to the south as the Vikings) led to a constant flow of Europeans going there and claiming the land theirs, killing and slaving the local people, stealing the land and the gold, bringing more slaves.......
Columbus was born and raised in Genova and his expedition was funded by the Spanish court.
Nevertheless as there were people living in Americe when the Vikings went there for the first time and when Columbus went there again America was of course discovered long, long ago - the only thing is Europeans (and more or less the rest of the world as well)did not know anything about it.

Well, I may also be if the get together arises. I would upload that I have peers who're the whole thing from black to brown, of all religous backgrounds.
