Successful at what?

Christopher Columbus was quite successful as an explorer in that he made contact with the natives of Hispaniola and successfully convinced Queen Isabella and King Ferdinand to begin the colonization of the Americas.

He was also a huge failure when it came to governing these territories and he died poor and perceived by his fellow Spaniards (and the natives) as an immensely cruel man.

Was Christopher Columbus expedition successful?

Some would say his expedition was successful. It depends your talking to. It's not fair to even give him credit for discovering America because he didn't, Amerigo Vespucci did and named the New World after himself. Christopher Columbus landed on some island in the Carribean Sea (I'm not sure exactly where.) I would say that his expedition was successful because he wasn't out looking for America, he was trying to prove that the Earth wasn't flat, and he did do that.Amerigo Vespucci didn't name it after himself Ferdinand maggelan named it after Vespucci so your answer was so false think a little .
