      And was removed from his governorship because he was an evil motherfucker even by conquistador standards.

        Not by conquistador standards, conquistadors weren’t a thing when he died. He was the Caribbean governor and conquistadors conquered the rest of americas some years after he died.

          1: Would you agree that the Spanish systemically conquered the Caribbean islands to establish the base of operations they needed to expand on the mainland?

          2: What does conquistador directly translate as?

          3: Was Columbus specifically removed because he was bad even by the other conquered islands’ standards?
