For

Brutality Against The Natives.



Think about it. Isabel of Castile was a pretty brutal monarch on her own (with great hits like "establishing the Spanish inquisition" or "banishing Jews from Iberia"), and even her was alarmed and disgusted by Columbus acts in the Americas.

Let's not forget the banishing of the moriscos (converted muslims).

Columbus was a terrible human being motivated only by greed who never showed any kind of respect or caring for other people.

The only Columbus achievent worth celebrating is discovering something by sheer luck. So he was a fucking idiot, too.
