| Personally, I like people who makes effort as English speaking or non-English speaking. Because I'm still buying and reading my interesting books(wrote in Korean and translated into Korean) in bookshelves for my references. No matter it's comic books or not. From my experience, if you can bear 10 years or 10,000 hours training, you can write any subjects or topics. |

| ※ This is a prototype. I don't know how and what to use this. Oct.12.1492. Finally, Christopher Colombus found the land what he looked for. So Colombus and his sailors took a little ship and landed on the ground. On the beach, Colombus put the flag of Spain and prayed to God with his sailors that they were safe and found the land. After Colombus and his sailors prayed, Colombus standed up and declared loudly. "Ahora esta tierra está dedicada al Rey de España!!(Now this land dedicate to the King of Spain!!!)" Suddenly arrows from somewhere started to fly into Colombus and his sailors. Colombus and his sailors.were embarrassed about this but they did not do nothing to escape. And then some sailors fell down and some were run but met death. Also Colombus was embarrassed too but tried to handle his sailors and escape to the fleet outside. ...But one arrow hit Colombus and Colombus fell down to the beach. ...So the fact that Colombus found America we know is disappered into the waves... |

What Columbus actually did was land a whole bunch of invasive species, diseases and so forth on the Island of San Salvador in the South Atlantic. Before that, there is evidence that people from Europe discovered the North American continent.
For example, Cherokee legend tells of pale, blue eyed creatures that looked like people. They called them The Moon Eyed People. Some historians speculate that these stories may have been describing Europeans who arrived before any of the Conquistadors or Amerigo Vaspuchi(the Italian who landed on the North American continent.) got off their galleons.
There is some archeological evidence for Norse Explorer Lief Erickson and Eric the Red having found North America long before Columbus landed on a tiny South Atlantic Island.
Anyways, I'd revise your story and do some research on the actual history of the exploration and peopling of North America if you want to write about it. Just a suggestion.
On the one hand, if Columbus hadn't succeeded, someone else would have. On the other hand, it's also true that others had tried sailing west to go east and had lost their nerve and turned back. But we're looking at alternate history and if Columbus ends up dead on the shores of San Salvador Island in the Bahamas (or any of the other islands he reached on his first voyage), he gets reduced to a footnote alongside Prince Mardoc of Wales, St. Brendan the Navigator and others. However, the Columbian Exchange still would have happened within a generation or so.
For the first time since the breakup of Pangea, The Americas would meet Eurasia and Africa. Smallpox would travel one way and syphilis the other. The Americas would still learn of Coffee and Apples and Lettuce and Europe would learn of Papayas and Peanuts and Pineapples.
Alas, slavery was also inevitable with, or without, Columbus. 80% of Europeans would still die within a year of arriving in the Americas, and there would still be a shortage of labor. The slave markets of Africa already sold humans by the millions on the coast of the Indian Ocean to customers in India and the Middle East. This supply of labor would still make its way to The Americas regardless of what person ultimately joined the two worlds.
We remember Columbus because he was bold enough and fearless enough to succeed, yet the path of history was inevitable. If Columbus dies, some other man succeeds instead, and that man gets the credit and the blame for everything and ultimately nothing really changes.
