Why were Iberians so good at navigation while the rest of the world couldn't sail a fucking paddle boat if their lives depended on it?

Because Iberians were the true master race until Jews got revenge.
Spain was the major power worldwide until the Jews who were kick out rise on power in the other European nations and cucked all of Europe in the Spanish Succesion War where they also destroy any change of Christian power.

What about the Vikings and the Chinks with their turtle ships.
Kevin Clark
no, not at all
Lincoln Lee
The Dutch were better.
The flyut was so good it formed for the basis for British ships in their era of supremacy
Easton Garcia
Dutch weren't on shit compared to the Portuguese
Portuguese literally got everywhere first before the Dutch

They got the only advantage of being Arab, Celtic, and Roman rape babies in that at least they're not as inbred as the rest of Europe. Devout Catholicism eventually reversed this.
Josiah Martinez
If they were so good then how did Arabs manage to cuck them with pirate ships for decades?

Do you really believe vikings crossed the Atlantic in a wooden vessel this small?

If European are so superior then why they aren't available of retaking Turkey, Syiria, Lebanon, Jordan, Israel, Egypt, Algeria, Libya, Morocco, Tunisia. etc.?
That's your logic there m8... Spaniard completely BTFO Arabs

Columbus quoted Brendan when he found Cuba.
pic related went across the Atlantic.
The British monks went there before the Vikings, it was probably the Monasteries that led the Vikings to sail there.

The Dutch made more money.
Logan Powell
So the Dutch are Jews.
Jacob Russell
They made more money only because they had a better location. They are surrounded by other very rich countries

Pretty much. The jews who were expelled from Portugal and Spain went there, took money and a lot of state secrets with them. The dutch were the tool used by the jews to exact revenge.
William Gray
Scotland is the only country to not expel the Jews.

Step aside the Polynesian people were conquering the Pacific and trading with Inca's.

"Snowniggers" shit all over these fuckers with boats 1/3rd of the size and substantially less refined Navigational tools.

Heavy investment into maritime technology combined with geolocation giving them greater access to African markets and previously established mercantile connections first fosterd by the Iberian muzzies, so they developed a taste for the more exotic earlier than say the scandanavians who only had frozen tundras and Taigas to the East.
Benjamin James
ugh I'm gonna hate admitting this but...
Not necessarily. Puerto Rico was Portugal/Spain's garbage island. They took their slaves and Jews there in an effort of expulsion from the Iberian peninsula and used the island to keep them there under watch...which they did right after they killed the natives of Puerto Rico.
t. someone with Spanish ancestry that can only be traced back to Puerto Rico 2 generations and is afraid they may have Semitic blood
My grandfather had blonde hair and blue eyes, so I'm sure he wasn't a Semite.

Soil is very good indeed. But so is Indian soil, and that only meant that it could house a very dense human population. It doesn't mean that population will be wealthy though

>It is significant that no one protested at the court of Spain when in April 1501, in the feverish atmosphere of the great discovery, Nicolò Oderico, ambassador of the Genoese Republic, after praising the Catholic Sovereigns, went on to say that they "discovered with great expenditure hidden and inaccessible places under the command of Columbus, our fellow-citizen, and having tamed wild barbarians and unknown peoples, they educated them in religion, manners and laws".
>Furthermore, two diplomats from Venice — no great friend of Genoa, indeed, a jealous rival — added the appellation "Genoese" to Columbus's name: the first, Angelo Trevisan, in 1501, the second, Gasparo Contarini, in 1525.
>In 1498, Pedro de Ayala, Spanish ambassador to the English court, mentioned John Cabot, "the discoverer, another Genoese, like Columbus".
