Why are all great sailors of history either Italian, British or Portuguese?
ThalassophiliaEntrepreneurial spiritChild-like curiosity
PS: No mention of the French?
>>221462462With the portuguese it was because exploring the sea was nearly their national identity, the british wanted to get away from their wives, and no idea about Italy. Mare Nostrum or something.
>>221462462you forget austronesian. the reason why surfing exists
>>221462669i thought the portuguese national identity was teaming up with anglos to cuck spain

>>221462462Columbus was a Shepardic Jew with Spanish ancestry.

>>221462840lolI'll name just one: Amerigo Vespucci
>>221462462>Why are all great sailors of history either Italian, British or Portuguese?Nah. Spain has Elcano (first to circumnavigate the world), Álvaro de Bazán, Blas de Lezo, Jorge Juan, Churruca, Gravina, Admiral Cervera... Besides, many of those Italians and Portuguese yoou are thinking on worked for Spain (or were spanish themselves, being Portugal and specially most of Italy part of the empire for a long time). And Columbus was Galician.
>>221468166>Spain has Elcano (first to circumnavigate the world),bzzzt, Magellan gets credit.>b-but the spanish were paypiggieslol
>>221462462Why did you post a Galician man though?
>>221468253>>221468166Least butthurt castillan fuckers about Chadtugal
>>221468273Why would i be butthurt about southern Galicia
Portugal Wonspain lost
>>221462462He was Spanish according to the newest research, it's over, se acabó
>>221462840Amerigoy Boipucci
>>221468250>bzzzt, Magellan gets credit.Of course... Jewish anti-Spain never rests.
>>221468360cope + you're not spanish paco

>>221468441Shalom Murray.
>>221468407Seething at spaniards won't give you a nationality, you delusional chi. + paco is a stereotypically Spanish name, dumb taco person
>>221468441Aren't muh germano-nordchuds the ones obsessed with the juice at the point of fighting WW2 because of their hatred for them?
Kek Spain and their rape babies seething as expected
>>221462840Marco polo or something he probably used a ship once
>>221468603Fighting injustice since the dawn of time
Columbus was spanish>b-buSorry! The science is settled
>>221468972He was Jewish and probably hated Spain with every fiber of his being first for mistreating his people and then betraying him when he discovered America
>>221462462The Dutch or Vikings
>>221468250>Magellan gets credit.Unrightfully more than true national hero Vasco da Gama.
>>221469465Kwab. He didn't discover shit, any other one of the portuguese/spanish sailors could have done it, and probably did it before him.
>>221462462After the Reconquista, Portugal didn't stop being an expansionist country so it was forced to build a navy to cross the Mediterranean, which is why it also has the oldest navy in the world. Because this expansion was successful and brought wealth and prestige to the country, more resources were invested in expanding our naval capabilities so further lands could be explored, giving birth to massive shipyards to build boats and navigation schools to create captains for them. It's a good example of "necessity is the mother of invention"
The guy that did it first was the son of a Norwegian murderer and fugitive, who was also the son of a Norwegian murderer and fugitive :)
British weather, food and women made British men the best sailors in historyDunno about the southern European races. Probably Northern European descended nobility of these countries needed to go sail over seas to find more efficient workers
>>221469465he was not jewish vpnfag, it's already recently confirmed he's galician
>>221462707Yeah. Our ancestors were sailing from the Island Occupied by Han Chinese (IOHC) all the way to Chile, New Zealand and Madagascar, 5000 years before the filthy despoilers of Rome stole the compass from China.
>>221471125>confirmed he's galician
>>221470046>British weather, food and women made British men the best sailors in history
>>221462462>great sailorsNo such thing.Did these guys steer the ships themselves? No they didn't. It's not hard to drive a big boat.
>>221462850zero proof of this, just extremely recent slander concocted to belittle great white european accomplishments.
i recall, viking ship was discovered in North America years ago. History of north and south pole exploration also made by non brits.Amundsen, Bering. Let's add also Jean-François de Galaup, comte de Lapérouse to the list. (french).
