Many African nations demanded that colonial governments grant them their independence.
The 1920's were known as the roaring 20's. Investors got confident in the market and bought stocks on margin. More and more investors had borrowed money to get into the stock market. When the stock market turned downed, that forced investors to sell rapidly. However, there were no buyers to offset those trades. Therefore, there was a supply and demand in balance, which directly causes the stock market to crash.
Many things took place within a period of time between 1492 and 1520 that are quite questionable but with the intent of finding a complete opposite location, for the result Columbus had effects such as....
•The provoking of genocide
•The taking of land from which originally had indigenous people living there
•Now I personally don't know if Columbus in his life time claimed he discovered America but I do know a sci-fi and fantasy auther was the one with the idea to make this a common myth when really his 3 main voyages never even touched what is now American soil.
But in the end we as Americas wouldn't be here if it wasn't for his crude sense of exploration
