What did Christopher Columbus voyage lead to?
Columbus' exploratory voyages lead to Europeans being aware that the American continents existed. Originally, Christopher Columbus was actually suppose to find India instead of America. So Christopher Columbus accidently found America(but it is still a good thing)
Why did Christopher Columbus come back from Spain in chains after his third voyage?
Ferdinand and Isabella had heard that Columbus and his brothers were not doing a good job governing the colonies in the New World. Columbus had not brought back much in the way of gold or other riches, and the King and queen thought he might be cheating them. They sent a nobleman, Bobadilla, to investigate. Bobadilla arrived in August of 1500 with 500 assorted Spaniards. Bobadilla found some of the rumors to be true and threw Columbus and his brothers in a dungeon in chains. They went back to Spain still shackled in October of 1500. Columbus was able to talk his way out of his troubles and made a fourth voyage.
Would there still be Columbus Day if Columbus hadn't discovered America?
I do not believe that there would be Columbus Day because other than the discovery and settlement of "the new world" Columbus was not very extraordinary (from my research). He was born into a poor family and never received formal education. Also, his knowledge of geography, navigation, exploration, and settlement was learned by listening to old sailors in the Port of Genoa and in Maderia (where his wife inherited land).
Why was Portugal not interested in the plans of Christopher Columbus?
Already in the service of King John II of Portugal, Columbus in 1484 proposed a new sea route to Asia. John dismissed Columbus' project following Bartholomew Diaz's discovery of a route to India via the Cape of Good Hope. Funding still another search for an Indian passage seemed unnecessary.
What were some of Christopher Columbus' accomplishments?
He was the first European to discover the Bahamas, Cuba, Hispaniola, Central America, and the northern coast of South America. Columbus also discovered a trade route across the Atlantic using winds that blow from east to west. (These winds today are called trade winds, and are still used by sea captains today.) Christopher Columbus began a chain of events that would lead to the settlement of the New World. Columbus showed others that a long sea voyage was possible and gave Spain an unexpected advantage in the coming race for riches and colonies.In 1492, Columbus was able to convince King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella to finance his ships and voyage. On October 28, 1492, he and his ships successfully reach Cuba. In September, he established a settlement in the New World. In 1492, he became the first European to land in South America.
What was the reason for Christopher Columbus to go on his second voyage?
