I’m imagining a world where the Spanish Colonized Canada first lol. Colombia is the Latin American country, “Columbia” is what every Anglo thing that uses his name is written.
Yea, its a very common thought unfortunately. I myself used to think that the spanish that conquered us mustve been lazy in comparison to the americans. Then you learn that the North american settlers just murdered everyone and brought slaves.
British Colombia

Lol, like “British Honduras”, now Belize.
Grew up in Colombia and people saying “hope we were colonized by the British” is something you get used to.

fwiw: they started colonizing nootka sound in british columbia, but abandoned it the 1790’s as part of territorial concessions to the british empire

Considering where it gets the name from, Culombia is how it really should be written.
