What if Colombus sailed for England? Christopher Colombus and his brother asked 3 major parties for funding for his voyage: Spain, Portugal, and England. Portugal said no, as they had already found a new trade route around the tip of Africa. Spain did accept obviously, but it took 6 years to convince them. Henry VII also accepted Colombus' plan, but only after Colombus had gotten Spanish funding. So what if Henry VII made up his mind earlier, say 1490. What happens next?
