Columbus did NOT discover America, but an island of Hispaniola and discovered the Bahamas. This only happened because he was blown off course. During his first voyage he ran a ship aground, left 39 men to start a colony that were killed by the natives. He came home with no riches to the crown, a few native trinkets, and no route to India.
