The Vikings discovered America first, and anyway, Columbus was Italian (and he got lost).

Fight against other countries? Franco got Hitler to do his dirty work and then decided not to play in the big one.

Looks like the profile of that Polish turncoat and Soviet spy Sverchevskiy who fought on the Stalinist side in the Spanish Civil War, and after WW2 returned to Poladn to murder Polish patriots and try to sovietise the country. Luckily he got what was coming to him -- an assassin's bullet.

except for the Spanish

Espana is not a Giri, not Spanish, he is from the only part of Africa where Cro Magnon survived.

these aboriginal peoples inhabited the western and eastern Canary Islands. They were first encountered by the conquering Spaniards at the beginning of the 15th century. Both populations are thought to have been of Cro-Magnon origin, and may possibly have come from central and southern Europe via north Africa, in some distant age.

When discovered by the Spaniards, these aborigines belonged to a stone age culture, though they were advanced enough to have pottery. Their food staples consisted mainly of milk, butter, goat flesh, pork, and some fruits; and their clothing was comprised of leather tunics or vests made of plaited rushes. They left alphabet-like engravings and characters whose meanings are obscure.

So no change there.

Actually it wouldn't be so stupid idea.It's the thing Polish ppl never learn-that sometimes it's wise to just keep your head low.I love it but it also gave us some hard times.
