[kffnzfjy] Portal

Columbus's discovery of the New World and its subsequent settlement by Europeans is an event the likes of which will probably never be repeated again in human history.

Tell a story in which it is repeated.  This is a fairly common plot of science fiction or fantasy.

We discover a portal to another Earth in a parallel universe, populated at most with only an easily genocidable native population.

Thinking much bigger, we discover a way to create an infinite number of portals to an infinite number of such parallel Earths.  What happens when we become a civilization with essentially infinite land area and infinite resources?
