Columbus thought the trip would be short because he thought he live some where different
i think from Italy but he sailed under the spanish because Italy would not give him the money needed for his trip.
On what date did Columbus begin his trip?
Christopher Columbus made his trip in 1492. A good way to remember it is..... Columbus sailed the ocean blue in 1492.
Christopher Columbus
That was Ferdinand Columbus.
Spain
He told them he would bring them gold
They would have went on a ship
Christopher Columbus had 90 men on the 1 trip and on the 2 trip he had 1,200 to 1,500 men
Queen Isabella and king Ferdinand of spain agreed to pay for ships for Christopher Columbus's trip.
The Pinta, the Nina, and the Santa Maria are the ships Columbus used in his trip to find Cathay/China, Japan, and India.
There was no Governor. Columbus discovered what would later become Puerto Rico during his second voyage to the New World in 1493. The Conquistador Ponce de Leon was a passenger on that trip and would became the First Governor of that island in 1509.
