Christopher Columbus

Yes he found all these lands Those are the present-day names, and don't forget that the USA and didn't exist as a country until nearly 300 years after Columbus discovered 'The New World'. If the native americans were living there before his discovery how did he discover america?

In 1485, Columbus presented his plans to John II, King of Portugal. He proposed the king equip three sturdy ships and grant Columbus one year's time to sail out into the Atlantic, search for a western route to the Orient, and return.

Columbus also requested he be made "Great Admiral of the Ocean", appointed governor of any and all lands he discovered, and given one-tenth of all revenue from those lands. The king submitted the proposal to his experts, who rejected it. It was their considered opinion that Columbus's estimation of a travel distance of 2,400 miles (3,860 km) was, in fact, far too short.

Columbus committed Genocide and enslaved millions of Taino Indians. When columbus left the island neighboring tribes attacked columbus' men. As a result of this the men acted out on Guancanari's tribe, which is the first tribe he encountered. The men raped and killed women. They even ripped babies of their womb. The men slammed babies on rocks and hung many Tainos over a open fire.

because he discouvered America

No one new that the North American (or South American) continents existed! Also the goal of Columbus' trip was to find a new, and faster route to Asia.

Although among non-Native Americans Christopher Columbus is traditionally considered the discoverer of America, Columbus was preceded by the various cultures and civilizations of the indigenous peoples of the Americas, as well as the Western world's Vikings at L'Anse aux Meadows. He is regarded more accurately as the person who brought the Americas into the forefront of Western attention. "Columbus' claim to fame isn't that he got there first," explains historian Martin Dugard, "it's that he stayed." And the idea that he was first person to envision a rounded earth is simply false. The rounded shape of the earth has already been known in ancient times, although this came to be largely forgotten in the Middle Ages. By Columbus's time, educated men were in agreement as to its spherical shape, even if many or most people believed otherwise.

No he wasn't. he had 2 brothers

Queen Isabella I of Castile is often depicted with dark hair, typically a deep brown or black. Historical accounts suggest that she had a strong, commanding presence, which may have been complemented by her hair color. Artistic representations from her time also tend to emphasize her dark features.

No. He wasn't near Japan nor knew it existed. He was in the Bahama's.

Queen Isabella helped finance Columbus's ride to the new world.

The land which was to one day become the nation of Canada has been possessed by native peoples before recorded history. The first outsider since then seems to be the Viking Lief Eriksson who landed upon the shores of what is now known as Baffin Island, Labrador and Newfoundland around the year 1000 AD. The land that was to be Canada, however, was lost again until 1534 when Jacques Cartier of France discovered the St. Lawrence River and called the land around him "Canada", using an Indian word he picked up from the natives.

==============================================================================

Christopher Columbus did not come anywhere near Canada.

The Genoa-born explorer Christopher Columbus (Cristoforo Colombo) was born in 1451.

The year 2016 marked the 565th anniversary of his birth.

Right now many historians are not sure. A recent theory is that his name was either stolen from a man named Columbus or he made it up. The new theory points out that he was Spanish and not Italian, he wrote in Spanish, and he was married to a Noble Spanish woman. This theory also goes on to point out that it was possible that his family were politically against the King and the Queen and to get the funds for his trip he took on the persona of Columbus. When I read about this theory it made sense to me because a man who is a high noble would write in Spanish and be married to a woman of the same level. A man of a lower level wouldn't have these things. To determine he was Spanish they have taken bone fragments of his son and are doing DNA testing.

He was looking for a shortcut to Asia, gold and spice for the monarchy of Spain, who financed his voyage. What he found was the islands of the Caribbean, South and Central America and the people who inhabited these places.

Christopher Columbus led the first voyage to circumnavigate the globe in 1492. He never made it around the world as he landed in the Americas, thinking it was India.

he sailed on the Nina

Gold and silver

Christopher Columbus came to the Caribbean because he was looking for India and encountered the unknown Americas instead.

The Santa María was about 70 feet long and She carried 40 men. The Santa María was constructed from pine and oak which was from the Białowieża Forest. The other ships of the Columbus expedition were remembered as the Niña ("The Girl" - a pun on the name of her owner, Juan Niño) and Pinta("The Painted"). All these ships were second-hand and were never meant for exploration. The Santa María was originally named La Gallega ("The Galician"), because she was built in Pontevedra, Galicia. It seems the ship was known to her sailors as Marigalante, Spanish for "Gallant Mary". Bartolomé de Las Casas never used La Gallega, Marigalante or Santa María in his writings, preferring to use la Capitana or La Nao.
