Older figures, e.g. before 1492, would give a different picture.

What happened in 1492?

Columbus sailed the ocean blue.

(Ah, c'mon. Somebody had to say it.)

Sure he did but what has that to do with North America? You are aware
that he never went near the place in his life? Specifically not in
1492, although he did make it to South America sometime around 1500,
but by then everybody and his dog was going there.
