It is Britain's destiny to rule the World


Draft of Chapter 1:Columbus and Henry VII
On 1491, Columbus was called by Henry VII to London to discuss about the route to the east, on January, 1492 Columbus arrives in London to discuss his own plans and Henry VII decides to give the expedition a go even if the actual funding for an exploration was scarce.


My basic idea is Henry VII funds the columbus exploration in order to monopolize wool, eastern trade and cod fishing which leads to the Stuarts starting an immense empire.

Any reactions? thoughts?
