View submission: What if Christopher colombus expedition failed miserably ?
The Natives of America would’ve probably had a good few more years of no Smallpox before someone inspired by Columbus would try and follow in his footsteps and continue his legacy. Maybe not from Spain though I’m not sure they would finance a second voyage if the first was so disastrous. Maybe another country would try to one up Spain in a d*ck measuring contest and try it out themselves to shove it in their face if they make it. Who knows maybe we would’ve gotten British South America or French South America?

I think kthe best case for the natives is that Columbus or his wrecked crew arrive with smallpox. They might have enough time ot get through a catastrophic epidemic and begin to reorganise/ regroup before the colonisers arrive mob handed. Anything that moves those two events further apart rather than right on top of each other has to be to the native advantage.
