Was it inevitable that Europeans, especially the English, would successfully "settle" in Northern America?

    Let's put it this way --- it was inevitable that Europeans --- heavily experiencing war, illnesses, severe over crowding, over population, filth, major relreligiousoblems, etc --- would be perfectly willing to give up everything for a chance at a better life.

    All of the Americas was a paradise compared to what most Europeans were living in at that time.

    Wow Peter confirmed his vast lack of wisdom. the real ecu gene is the R1b, which got here from the middle East and the Caucasus and belonged to the unique ecu populations like Italics (Romans and their neighbours), Celts and the Germanic tribes. the conventional presence of R1b is: Germany: 40 5% Italy: 40 9% France: sixty one% England: sixty seven% Spain: sixty 9% you will discover each and every person of those international locations have a huge presence of R1b, meaning that those international locations have the comparable genetic roots. enable's now verify the genes J1 and T (semitic, close to eastern, arabic, ethiopian): England: 0.5% France: a million% Germany: a million% Spain: 5% Italy: 6% fairly negligeable isn't it? So each and every of the trolls that go around asserting that Italians and Spaniards are a million/2 Arabs ought to kindly close the **** up and learn something.

    All historical facts are inevitable.

    Things that happen could not have happened in any other way that the way in which they did.

    To consider your question you would have to change the facts of history, in doing so you could easily invent lies that would make the colonisation of the Americas impossible. This is ridiculous.

    Here's one - IF the Spanish Armada had been successful and England became part of Spanish Empire then all AMericans would be Spanish.

    OR - If aliens had given the Indians ray-guns then no European would have settled in the Americas.

    Does that help?
