Question: If Hitler was consider a murderer for killing millions of Jews, then why isn't Columbus consider one !?
Columbus assassinated thousands of Indians already living in North America when he arrived to land!. He committed the same crime and yet he is consider a hero!. I think history needs to clarify this mistake!.Www@QuestionHome@Com


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
the first answer!.!.pointless!. don't respond to anyone again!. its a waste!.

columbus is considered a murderer, but nobody really tells you thins until you get into college!. in my college government class Www@QuestionHome@Com

Columbus never went about the systematic deportation and execution
of millions of people!. He never built death camps for the sole purpose
of liquidating an entire race!. He never publicly announced any intention
to go on a genocidal killing spree if he was ever given the chance to do
so!. Attempts at moral equivalency involving Hitler are always doomed to
fail, not because other people haven't committed atrocities, but because
the comparison itself tends to place the Holocaust in a relation with other
'bad acts of men' that it doesn't deserve!. Www@QuestionHome@Com

No History does not need to clarify this!. Fact is, that the Native Americans, greeted Columbus and helped them in many ways!. Only later on is when renegade Natives, attacked the Pilgrims!. They defended themselves and un-fortunately many were killed!. BUT to compare Columbus to Hitler is NUTS!! My God, man get a grip!. The reasons why the bastard Hilter, is considered a horrible war criminal ,is because he made many innocent women , children and old people, men march into a gas chamber!. He burned the bodies, and put live people in graves and buried some alive!. Do you want me to continue with a book I could write about that bastard Hitler !?!?!? The only mistake that needs to be clarified, is that your mother needs to have her face slapped for not teaching you more !. You need a complete History Lesson, in regards to Hitler!. Go to Germany and see the furnaces where Hitler ordered his robots to burn little children!. Germany still carries the shame of what Hitler did!. Your not an American if you ask question and compare like this!. If your a Native American, then you need to know the entire story!. Www@QuestionHome@Com

You believe every little rumor you hear!? Funny!.
Can you document your assertions!? Can you give us evidence so that history can be clarified!? Can you tell us where in N!. America Columbus was!? Missed that myself!.
He did not die in prison nor in poverty!. You children are too ready to repeat gossip and rumors and never do any research!. As for some answers on here they are just little parrots too stupid to do anything on their own!. Don't join them!. You already qualify, but can be redeemed!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Timing!.

Chris did his stuff in the 1400s-1500s and it was more acceptable back then it was in the 1940s!.

Doesn't make it any more right but if we wanna go back like that then every country is full of blood soaked monsters because all countries were aggressors at one time and everyone comes from those who attacked, enslaved, killed, etc

Whoa! When did Columbus assassinate anyone!? Firstly, he never landed in North America!. And secondly, he didn't assassinate anyone where he did land!. You need to do more research before you start making statements like this!. Www@QuestionHome@Com

Knight14 your answer screams ignorance and it makes me want to hurt someone!.!.!. especially you!.

Think about it, America although losing power is the worlds most powerful nation!. So why would she speak negatively about her foundation!. Www@QuestionHome@Com

Columbus did not order thousands of Indians killed- they died either from disease brought unknowingly by the Spanish, or from fighting against them!. He did not just go out and start killing them!.
That is a BIG difference!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

EXACTLY! I have never understood why we celebrate Columbus day!. It should be turned into an international day of atonement in memory of the people who died!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Gee, I must have missed that in my history book!. Just who were these thousands of Indians he assassinated!? I think the mistake is yours!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

One reason I choose not to celebrate Columbus Day!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Victor is always on the right side!. Had Hitler won, the English and the American now would be singing "Hail Hitler: even in their grave!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

He is!. Columbus died in prison or exile!. Not sure which one!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

See the way it works is that Columbus did something for the overall greatness of the world, "discovering" America!. Yes i agree he should have his name spat on for all the murdering but he still did something great!. Hitler did the same thing but he did nothing good for this world!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
