    I sometimes wonder if a different outcome of the confrontation at Tours would have set back Western Europe to the point where the scope of the Crusades and the colonization of the New World would be curtailed.

      Yeah, a different outcome at Tours could’ve seriously changed the course of Western Europe maybe limiting the Crusades and slowing down New World colonization. Fascinating to think about how one battle can ripple through history.
