      They gave it a good shot but they didn’t wipe out 90% of the population of both north and south america.

        TBF, the 90% of indigenous people in the Americas died due to disease. Some cases like those infamous smallpox blankets were on purpose, yes, but the vast majority was not. Can’t blame the westerners for not knowing how immune systems work in the 1500s.

        Not that they weren’t genocidal maniacs with the 10% that remained of course.
