In this episode, we travel to see Columbus sail the ocean blue, and both he and Cortés separately gang up on the native tribes in the Americas. There’s a rundown of the Columbian Exchange and the Spanish in the Americas, references to a Certain Simpsons Episode, and whole lot of epidemic diseases – and not just in the Americas.
