Today is spains national day, celebrating how they got back spain under a 800 year of moros taking it, you can already feel the atmosphere in the air as the spanish was ready to fight to get the land back, they will march later today and carrying jesus and others with them whilst they are playing exodus, they are playing it with real passion, it kind of feels like you are on that day it happened, have you seen the festival? |

A holiday to celebrate discovering a land already inhabited by indigenous peoples.Then Europeans proceeded to kill 70 million to 100 million of the inhabitants over the following years
I suppose if some think sailing around the Caribbean, murdering indigenous people makes him great that's cool . He died thinking that he had been doing all of this in India.So for me that makes him a moron ,a brave one though  |

Most historical celebrations involve someone getting killed
