just saying having 90%(ish) of the population already dead and weakened from a plague kinda helps the moving into a new continent part as otherwise we would have been crushed just like the vikings were
Much of the credit for European military success in the New World can be handed to the superiority of their weapons, their literary heritage, even the fact they had unique load-bearing mammals, like horses. These factors combined, gave the conquistadors a massive advantage over the sophisticated civilisations of the Aztec and Inca empires. But weapons alone can't account for the breathtaking speed with which the indigenous population of the New World were completely wiped out. Within just a few generations, the continents of the Americas were virtually emptied of their native inhabitants – some academics estimate that approximately 20 million people may have died in the years following the European invasion – up to 95% of the population of the Americas. No medieval force, no matter how bloodthirsty, could have achieved such enormous levels of genocide. Instead, Europeans were aided by a deadly secret weapon they weren't even aware they were carrying: Smallpox.
so yeah other then the trail of tears(small pox blankets directly given)
Smallpox is believed to have arrived in the Americas in 1520 on a Spanish ship sailing from Cuba, carried by an infected African slave. As soon as the party landed in Mexico, the infection began its deadly voyage through the continent. Even before the arrival of Pizarro, smallpox had already devastated the Inca Empire, killing the Emperor Huayna Capac and unleashing a bitter civil war that distracted and weakened his successor, Atahuallpa. In the era of global conquest which followed, European colonizers were assisted around the world by the germs which they carried. A 1713 smallpox epidemic in the Cape of Good Hope decimated the South African Khoi San people, rendering them incapable of resisting the process of colonization. European germs also wreaked devastation on the aboriginal communities of Australia and New Zealand. More victims of colonization were killed by Eurasian germs, than by either the gun or the sword, making germs the deadliest agent of conquest.

This actually sums up the opinions of the entire Anti-Israeli crowd on ATS. Pure idiocy.

No kidding google maps removed Palestine, don't you know the CEO and CFO of google are both Jewish? I'm Jewish myself, so from fellow Jew to Jew, there tends to be a bias towards Palestine...I don't support it, but it does exist.

This is your lamest attempt yet. Of course Pangaea doesn't appear on any map. It ceased to exist when the continents started drifting apart. Now show where Palestine has started to drift apart into smaller pieces.
