One of Christopher Columbus's main problems he didn't understand the size of the world and went the wrong way. He went west to go east. He was also a very greedy, mean man. He cheated his own sailors out of the promised reward for spotting land. He stated he saw a light the night before and therefore he was the first to spot land and kept the reward. He cut off the hands of the natives he found because they didn't bring him enough gold. Finally, he did NOT discover America. He found Hispaniola and thought it was India until the day he died.
