    I’d give the people of hispaniola a few modern guns and ammunition around 1491 as well as a description of christopher columbus, his ships, and weaponry with full detail of what will happen if a single spaniard escapes.

      Fun fact, part of the reason no other expedition to the new world had been successful before was because the few that showed up were likely slaughtered before they could escape. The mainland was pretty hostile to newcomers.

      It’s also possible they felt this way because it was the Vikings who kept showing up.
