We all know that Christopher Columbus, the man who discovered America, had some failures for supporting his trip. His goal was to reach Asia by going westward (as he assumed to might be a shorter route). However, several nations rejected the his proposal, including Italy, France, and Portgual. Only Spain took the offer, which allowed her to gain a foothold in the New World.

However, what if France agreed to Columbus's proposal? How would it effect its history and the world?
