00:00What if China discovered America first?
00:02With Chinese fleet reaching America in the early 15th century,
00:05they would immediately create some trading ports,
00:07which they would use to stash their resources.
00:09However, they would pretty soon come into contact with the locals,
00:12and instead of fighting, they would start trading,
00:14which would really boost the Chinese economy.
00:16Even though everything would look great,
00:17Columbus would finally reach America and would set up Spanish bases.
00:21After a couple of years, the British would come
00:23and would claim America as their colony.
00:25However, they would soon reach into the Chinese
00:27and would demand them to leave, saying that they came first.
00:29Since they wouldn't be able to figure out who's right,
00:31a war would break out, with Spain and the UK on one side,
00:34and Chinese and the locals on the other.
00:36Even though the Chinese would be very strong,
00:38the locals wouldn't have good equipment,
00:40which would lead to them getting overwhelmed.
00:42With the Chinese losing this war,
00:43they would have no other choice and would have to give up,
00:46retreating from the American continent.
