He was the first documented person to visit the New World: North and South America. And he told people about it, unlike the Vikings who were the first Europeans to visit the New World. Christopher Columbus, in exploring the Americas, was also responsible for the spread of communicable diseases such as smallpox, which the Native Americans did not know how to treat. Columbus and his men inadvertently caused epidemics that wiped out entire tribes. Furthermore, Columbus expanded on trade with the Native Americans. When he found the New World, he also found things he had never seen before: various beads, spices, animals, birds, and of course customs. His crews might have traded spyglasses or knowledge for various objects. The Natives taught Columbus many things about agriculture, etc. When the crews could not gain what they wanted by bartering, they often stole it by physical force, or threatened it out of the Natives.

Christopher Columbus believed that the lands he reached were the West Indies, in Southern Asia, although it was actually the Carribean Islands, south of North America.

The country Christopher colubus traveled to on his first voyage was North America to find a shorter route to Asia and find spices and great riches.

Christopher Columbus he was born in Genoa, would have been called at birth "Cristoforo Colombo". His birth is postulated at between August and October of 1451. Today Genoa is part of Italy, but in 1451 it was an independent city-state, and the richest city in the western Mediterranean.The native language of Genoa at that time was Ligurian. Columbus spoke several languages by the time he was an adult, including Latin, Portuguese, Spanish, and perhaps Catalan. So it is difficult to tie down his nationality from the languages he spoke in later life.

I am not ENTIRELY sure of the whole answer, but all I know is that there is something on a Cactus, eating something else. The cactus is on a stone. There is a lot more to it, but I have looked for a bunch of information about this, and found nothing, so I hope I could be a help to you!

According to the Massachusetts General Hospital website, Christopher Columbus discovered the pineapple on the island of Guadeloupe, in the Caribbean, on 1493. Tis may not be right though.

His third voyage was the longest one. :)

!. He found America...........he didn't he found islands in the Bahamas

2. He was a nice man.......................he wasn't. He was greedy and looking for fame. He cut of the natives hands who didn't bring him gold and wanted to make slaves out of them.

3. He was Italian...................he wasn't he was Spanish. He could only speak and write in Spanish. A man who grew up in Italy would speak/write in Italian.

4. He was a poor sailor...................he wasn't. He was actually from a noble Spanish family who were rivals of the crown of Spain and he took the persona of Columbus a poor man from Italy so he could get the crown to help him pay for the trip.

5. He died rich.............he didn't he died thinking he had been to India and died unhappy and poor fighting the crown for his title and money.

Gold

- he thought gold was a ticket to heaven

- he wanted to get richer

Faster trading route to Asia

- he devised a plan with his brother to become richer by claiming lands that he discovered on the way and other goods

- He thought he could reach Asia faster by sailing west

- (He thought he had reached India, which is why he called the native americans indies.)

Spread Christianity

Slaves

-(though this was not the main intention, he misunderstood the natives and thought that they were supposed to be slaves)

The main purpose was to get richer

what were christopher columbus' major accomplishments and how was the impact on people and was it a negative or a positive and was it harmful or helpful

Basically it was all about the money. Although fame could also be linked to his decision. It was not heroism if that is what you were thinking. Christopher Columbus believed that the world was smaller than it really is and therefore he can find short sea routes to India, Indonesia, Japan and China.

By discovering such a route, Columbus hoped to increase his own wealth and the future prosperity of his family, either be rewards of the King and Queen of Spain, or by business dealings with spices, drugs, gold, and silver.

From 1502 to 1504. He got stranded on Jamaica and was stuck there for a year before he was rescued.

Columbus was accompanied by his brother Bartolomeo and Columbus 13 year old son Fernando.

yes the santa maria sailor columbus sailed on with his other sailors sank

ahoy, mate!

Yes. In 1492 Columbus sailed across the Atlantic Ocean with three boats, the Santa Maria, the Pinta, and the Nina. He and his crew were trying to find India. Where he landed was what we now call the United States of America.

When America's founding father discovered the great land of America, he started a whole system of trade. Many of the population of Europe heard of Columbus' expedition, and decided to go see for themselves, considering it was deemed safe for travel after the Mayflower expedition. This continued until it was unbearable to Native Indians. The Europeans saw great oppurtunity with exchanging items with the Natives and that huge trade system is called the Columbian Exchange. Items that were traded were; livestock, crops, people and even the diseases. The outcome was the Indians dying off of the disease and spoiled food items given from the Europeans.

It is difficult to account for the direct and indirect consequences of Christophe Columbus' arrival in the New World. Some sources cite him as being directly responsible for the deaths of up to a million people, with many more after that due to the introduction of diseases.

the answer is 4
