Assuming you're pro-Columbus day, these are points that can be made:
Being historically accurate, Columbus day should be celebrated because he attempted and was successful at colonizing and helping America grow.
A common argument trying to counter being pro-Columbus day is the mention of killing Native Americans, so you can mention that diseases had already existed and were the primary cause of death in the New Land rather than Natives being killed (keep in mind though that disease and murder were both factors).
Another Pro argument that could be made is the fact that yes, vikings DID find America first, however Columbus helped Americas economy, etc.
Assuming you're anti-Columbus day, these are more points:
What Christopher Columbus did to Native Americans is unjust, essentially he took land from the Natives and they were forced to convert and change their lifestyle in order to work with Columbus or were killed; brutality is unacceptable.
The day itself should be focused on the Native American victims of Columbus.
The vikings technically found the New Land.
I hope this helped a little! :)

The main reason why Christianity spread in the Byzantine Empire is that decades prior to the emergence of the Empire, Roman Emperor Constantine made Christianity the official religion of the Roman Empire, with they Edict of Milan, which he decreed in 313 AD.
We must remember that the Byzantine Empire is simply the Eastern Roman Empire, and when the Middle Ages started, the Byzantine Empire held land that had been christianizing for a over a century. Only a few areas of the Empire had to christianized in the Middle Ages, essentially areas at the edges of the Empire.
The correct answer is Singapore
Singapore is located on the left island of Malaysia at the southern tip as a very small country compared to Malaysia. It is nevertheless an independent parliamentary republic. Although there were some options to unite with Malaysia before through referendums, this didn't happen and Singapore was independent since it stopped being a colony.
