What did Christopher Columbus find -?

Answer 1

Christopher Columbus sought a shorter route to Asia but instead he found the Bahamas and Caribbean islands off North America, claiming them for Spain.

He became the first explorer and trader to cross the Atlantic Ocean and sight the land of the Americas, on 12 October 1492, under the flag of Castile, a former kingdom of modern day Spain. It is most probable that the land he first sighted was Watling Island in the Bahamas.

Columbus found numerous new products: he returned to Spain laden with gold and new discoveries from his travels, including the previously unknown tobacco plant and the pineapple fruit. The success of his first expedition prompted his commissioning for a second voyage to the New World, and he set out from Cýdiz in September 1493. He explored Cuba, Jamaica, Puerto Rico and various smaller Caribbean islands, and further ensuing explorations yielded discoveries such as Venezuela. Through all this, Columbus believed that he was travelling to parts of Asia. He believed Hispaniola was Japan, and that the peaks of Cuba were the Himalayas of India.

Columbus died on 20 May 1506, still believing that he had found the route to the Asian continent.

Answer 2

HE accidentally found North America. The true founders of North America are the Vikings and the Native Americans, which were only called Indians because Christopher Columbus thought that he was in India. By the way, I'm eleven years old.
