Christopher Columbus

Spain made a contract with Columbus. They would get the majority of anything valuable and he would be given the title of Admiral of the Deep Blue Sea. At his death his son’s sued the crown because they didn’t honor the contract.

Columbus's navigator Amerigo Vespucci was for whom America was named.

32

He did not know Christopher Colombus. Colombus discovered America in only 1402, da Vinci was only born in 1452.

Wow

1) you spelled Columbus wrong

2) Columbus discovered America in 1492.

3) Columbus was born in 1451

I would say it was definitely positive. I was looking for this answer and found this lol, but she worked to strengthen England's Economy and encouraged trade and commerce . She funded sea exploration and the England Navy defeated the Spanish Armada in 1588 and left Spain one of the most powerful and wealthiest country in the world at the time.

Schoolchildren are taught that Christopher Columbus wanted to find America, or in some cases that he wanted to prove that the world was round. He convinced Queen Isabella of Spain to finance the journey, and she sold her personal jewelry to do so. He bravely headed west and found the Americas and Caribbean, making friends with natives along the way. He returned to Spain in glory, having discovered the New World was told to give them money, new cities and countries, and people to become Christians.

Go to a different website. This one tells you nothing.

Christopher Columbus was on a voyage to find a shorter route to Asia for the purpose of trade. Europeans were traveling to Asia by sailing around the southern tip of Africa or overland through Arabia. If he had been successful, it would have allowed Spain to enter into the spice trade with the east, but he seriously underestimated the circumference of the earth. See the link below for more information.

Columbus sailed west to reach the lands of the East : China and India. Knowing the hazards of routes around Africa, Columbus thought that crossing the ocean would be faster and easier. But he had underestimated the actual distance to Asia, which would have made his trip impossibly long if he had not encountered the unexpected continents of the Americas.

Landing in the Bahamas, Columbus believed that he had reached the "Indies", and the red-skinned tribes were similar enough to natives of India that he called them "Indians, " a misnomer that continues to this day.

I have heard that he understated the size of the world by 42%, which would essentially be a world missing the Atlantic ocean.

to trade with Asia or India

Yep, Colomubus took the land and invaded it.

My step dad has the original model that has been passed donw for generations and on it, it has a total of 4 cannons 2 on each side

sants merie and Nina

he received money to pay for his trip from the Spanish royalty

Although he was Italian, at the time the Italian and all other European nations were either at war or economically struggling or found his desired voyage far from a priority. The Spanish monarch were the only ones willing to fund his voyage.

His motives were to find as much gold as he could

Measles was introduced to the Native Americans with disastrous effects.

1492!

The Nina, the Pinata, and the Santa Maria.

It took exactly 65 days from England to Provincetown Harbor on Cape Cod.

his voyages started a vast cultural exchange between the two hemisphere

because he enslaved native Indians and made them work for him, he sent the natives over to Spain to work for them he murdered them all basically and he wiped out a whole population and culture and that's the sum of it with more details though. He was a very bad man. oh and he forced them all to go into Christianity through a oath that they didn't understand and then they got punished for it and the work was under bad conditions and they were put in the cargo hold as in for property not human beings and the beat, tortured, or killed the natives if they couldn't keep up with the work

Christopher Columbus was very adventurous as a child and if you are adventurous, you'd want to go on an adventure! Explorers went on many "adventures" so obviously Christopher chose to become one. So without any delays, he made up his mind... He Wanted To Be An Explorer! And, so he did. -Mel :-) **P.S. I really hoped this helped you!**

He needed money to purchase supplies for his long journey. The Queen supported him because she wanted to find a quick route to East Asia by sailing across the Atlantic. This would avoid the dangerous and expansive overland routes and the eastward water routes controlled by the Portuguese.
