Columbus wasn’t an idiot...he was the world’s first Democrat.

When he left, he didn’t know where he was going..

When he got there, he didn’t know where he was.

When he got back, he didn’t know where he had been.

And he did it all on other people’s money!

You forgot to mention when when Columbus did came back, Columbus enslaved the local population to do his work. Just like Democrats have always done.

Columbus also posed as a God to the local population, just like Democrats try to do with the State.

That said Columbus did prove the America’s existed and started the great Columbia exchange which turned out fairly well for Europeans at least. As for Native Americans and their largely stone age Technology. I don’t really see them avowing the plagues nor the Conquests of the Spanish, upon contact.

Eurasia and Africa are simply too big with too much of the worlds population for the America’s in isolation to ever stand a chance either in biological and technological defenses. Contact was inevitable so was conquest such as was the custom of every culture both native American, Eurasia and African.
