In the same way colonization of the New World was preceded by Mongol invasions of Europe…
Was it? I need to read up on that. Mongols were amazing at warfare. Could ride a horse for 10 days straight only stopping to drink the blood of the horse to stay alive.
“Not to mention that they were preceded by Muslim invasions of Europe…”
…er… no… The first Crusade was started to take JERUSALEM from the Muslims, nothing to do with Europe. Jerusalem is in Israel, which is Asia.
The one who had started the first crusade, was the Byzantine Empire, what is today Turkey.
The Byzantine empire, which was the Eastern half of the Roman empire, after the fall of Rome to the Germanics, had requested military aid from Western Europe

Err… no… Mongols and New World had nothing to do with each other.
New World came 100s of years after the Mongol Invasions. Mongols arrived in Europe in ca 1250
New World came at the time of explorers such as Amerigo Vespucci, Vasco de Gama, Columbus, in ca 1500, from around end of 1400s.
