Also known as Columbus day.  Actually it was yesterday, but state employees get today off.

Surely simply discovering some unknown islands is not equivalent to conquering anything.

Well it led to conquest.  Unlike the lazy Vikings who showed up, camped out then left.

Unknown to the dude discovering them.  I cannot really recall a period in my life I was not aware of the Carribean islands.

I guess I personally discovered them in Kindergarten or something.  They had these nice maps of the world I used to enjoy.
