Most of the people answering seem to be great believers in the 'great man
theory' of history--including the top answer. The most radical expression
of this belief was further down the page where one chap says 'kill Vasco da
Gama who opened India to the Western world'. He seems rather secure in the
belief that India would never have been part of European colonisation plans
if Vasco had failed.
