The entire western world has been taught that Columbus was the first man from cultures known to us to reach the “New World” what if what we’ve been taught is false? The fact of the matter is that what we have been taught is incorrect. Take a gander with me if you will. The Europeans arrived 1492, in vessels maxing out their holds at 20 to 90 men and supplies for them to survive. The vastness of the Chinese is demonstrated six centuries ago, a mighty armada of Chinese ships crossed the China Sea, then ventured west to Arabia, and East Africa.

Spanish soldier and explorer Alonso de Ojeda, was reported to one of the first recorded explorers who came to Curacao for purposes of charting the South American coast, and its’ offshore islands. Ojeda came to the island in approximately 1500 AD. Curacao and the close surrounding islands became territories of Spain, and were used for the slave trade business early on, until an alliance was made with the Bishop of Coro, Venezuela, and the local indian chief. While the island stayed under Spanish control, their interest in it did not remain strong as the islands in that area were referred to as the “islas inutiles”, which is translated to mean “unnecessary islands.” It was in 1634 that Dutch West Indian Company, led by Johannes van Walbeeck and Pierre le Grand laid claim to the island of Curacao and took control of it from the Spaniards. The islands only inhabitants at the time were 500 Indians and 32 other Spaniards, of which included a priest and his twelve children.
The Portuguese were determined to control the East-West trade; so Malacca still retained its importance as a trade center until 1641 when the Portuguese surrendered Malacca to the Dutch. The Dutch who had a stronger foothold over the Indonesia archipelago swung the trade center over to Sumatra. In the meantime, Malacca's trade also declined due to the silting of its port. In 1795 Melaka (Malacca) was given to the British to prevent it form falling to the hands of the French, where the Netherlands was captured during the French Revolution. By the time British took over in 1824, the focus of the trade has shifted from Malacca to Singapore and Penang.

The Brits and Dutch signed a treaty in 1619, which allowed the British 1/3 of the spice industry and gave the Dutch the rest. In 1623, the British East India Factory in the Pacific was attacked by the Dutch. The ones who died immediately were lucky because the survivors were tortured and then were killed. After the collapse of imperialism, many countries regained control of their land and changed their names back to what they were before. Imperialism and slavery were so horrendous back then.

Howard Zinn tries to describe the history without changing the facts. He tries to tell the truth, preferring to talk about the discovery of America from the viewpoint of the Arawaks.

Already in 1585, even before any permanent settlements were the Englishmen in Virginia, Richard Grenville arrived on the American continent with seven ships. Indians hospitably welcomed newcomers, but as soon as one of the natives stole a small silver cup, Grenville sacked and burned the entire
