Although corruption and the disclosure of guilt is an issue that we should not abandon because it is the cause of all our problems as a society, today I will move away from that magazine to write about the discovery of America. Schools and history teachers need more context and critical thinking to explain this;
Invasion was for many centuries of mankind the way to expand empires and create great civilizations, thus explaining the growth of the Roman Empire and its demise as a result of invasion were savages who tried to control strategic points of the Romans. Greece, especially Sparta, had to resist the slaughter of the Persians, so the Persian Wars arose as a campaign by the children of Perseus, to take land from the children of Hercules. The most famous of these wars was the one at Thermopylae where Leonidas died.
The interpretation of history is changed by the translator, but the facts are immutable, in that sense to come to a conclusion of what happened in America it is necessary to find ourselves at the a time in which the world was when the lost ships arrived after that journey. . At that time the world was changing era, going from the Middle Ages to the present day, marked by the fall of the Byzantine Empire or Eastern Roman Empire as a result of the decisive and ferocious attack on the Ottomans in advance until the territories they were getting back. consider theirs on the Anatolian peninsula exactly where Turkey is today, the dynasty of the sultanate, eliminated at the beginning of the 20th century, as a result of the First World War.
The crisis of the Byzantine Empire and the conflict in the Eurasian subcontinent was the main reason that made the Catholic kings of Spain think that what the Italian Christopher Columbus suggested to them was not only a good idea but that it was necessary, the movement through Anatolian. the peninsula to reach the Middle East and Asia was complicated by the presence of the Ottomans, so the search for new trade routes along the coasts of Africa did not turn until they reached India.
But the adventurers led by Columbus and Americo Vespucci lost their way and never reached India, looking into virgin lands unknown to ancient Europe. there they found new civilizations, wealth that they did not have on the other side of the Atlantic, causing a new impulse in the Iberian Peninsula, the Spanish claiming that they had been discovered and pushing to grow as an Empire.
But as Spanish colonialism progressed, a revolution arose in Europe, a revolution inspired by Martin Luther with the support of the bourgeoisie tired of papal power in the Holy Roman Empire, and thus the the emergence of the Protestant Reformation, a change in Aristotelian vision that was adopted by Medieval Catholicism. Seeking places of power, the bourgeois used the reform to weaken the Pope, leading the continent to what is known as the 30 years war, leaving many dead, ending with a so-called peace treaty “The Peace of Westphalia” with a Solomonic departure: the foundation of kingdoms that each decided the religion they wanted in their territories, thus giving birth to Catholic kingdoms and Protestant kingdoms. This is where the evangelicals or the Protestants were born, with the reformation more than a movement inspired by divine reasons, as some delirious followers show, it was a real political revolution .
What does this have to do with America? For many, Spain was one of the kingdoms that remained Catholic, this was partly because of the murders that the Protestants instigated against the faithful of the Vatican, because not only was the reformation mentioned in Luther’s 95 theses, it was also blood and murder for them. who opposed Lutheran and bourgeois revolutions.
Spain remained Catholic, that was the religion that suited us since the arrival of Columbus and his companions, leaving us with vows of all kinds, including Catholicism and not the other way around.
