Cristoforo Colombo was Italian. The English were deported by the Americans in 1783, after a 7 year war. Disbelieving the results, they tried again 30 years later. They came, they saw, we kicked their butts again. After thinking about it for 100 years, they came to us in 1918, and said, "Tell your Mommy if you can come out and play. We already chose you." 20 years later, they tried that again. Being 20 years smarter, we said, "OK, but only if you start speaking American." As for "Imagine the Spanish had won", surely you jest.
