Christopher Columbus

King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella of Spain paid for his trip. They said no the first time then Columbus persuaded them to. They said yes the second time. Christopher Columbus' son was named after King Ferdinand.

the funding came from Queen Isabella and king Ferdinand of Spain

Until Christopher Columbus died he thought that he had set foot on Asia by sailing west. He thought this because at that time nobody knew that North and South Amercia existed. Everyone thought that it was just open water and smooth sailing to Asia.

He claimed North America first. We honor him on that day.

The Treaty of Granada greatly impacted Columbus, as it allowed him to begin his voyages to America. When the Treaty of Granada was settled in 1491 by the Spanish monarchs Ferdinand and Isabella, who now fully controlled the area, and had the funds to support Columbus's expeditions.

Columbus desired a faster, cheaper route to Asia. To get spices and silk from Asia, many countries and middlemen had to be paid, and the price was constantly jacked upwards for profit. The demand for silk and spices came predominantly from crusaders and travelers who had returned with small amounts of these products. He needed to gain fame and FORTUNE!

You would not believe how those folks eat bread. It is baked fresh every day and delivered to the homes like we used get milk delivered. It is the food eaten most frequently during every day.

The Spanish have a very varied and healthy diet. Its called the Mediterranean Diet and consists of lots of vegetables, fruit, fish, chicken, some red meat, pork, salads, legumes,rice, pasta, eggs, dairy produce and bread. We always use olive oil when we cook and for the salads. We also drink wine but not too much and also cava (spanish champagne).

A pear.

He wanted to build a colony to bring profits to Spain.

The route to the East had long been cut out by the Turkish Empire, and Columbus, knowing at the time that the Earth was round - thanks to earlier thinkers like Eratosthenes and Ptolemy - knew that he could reach the Indies if instead he traveled far enough west. But Columbus didn't know that North and South America was in the way. He underestimated the size of the Earth and (re)discovered America. Plus both Columbus and his Spanish financial backers, King Ferdinand II of Aragón & Queen Isabella I of Castile, were staunch Roman Catholics, and saw the voyage as an opportunity to spread, what they considered to be, the words of the almighty.

row row your boat

Christopher Columbus was a humanist because he used Ptolemy's maps and that is why he believed that he had gotten to Asia because nobody had told him that the Earth was round.

Christopher Columbus was a Individualist Because he followed his own path and the outcome of that is America and many other countries around

America

he was financed by Spain, so any riches like gold and siver would become the property of Spain, and any lands that he could claim.

Christopher Columbus was born not rich but not poor, he later became rich after his voyages but lost his job and became poor, I wouldn't say poor though, just not rich.

He may not of die with all the riches sure as gold and so but he did die rich with his intelligent because he truly did rediscover many Caribbean countries.

Hence the reason you may leave or someone can rub you of your money but one can never rub you of your knowledge.

After Christopher Columbus came to the Americas and took Indian slaves back to Spain, I imagine he got I little higher up into the (kind of) wealthy range, b/c Queen Isabella and King Ferdinand sent him back. But after the second voyage, he became overly greedy and lost everything.

He was originally headed for India in search of spices. The America's had not yet been discovered so when he came in contact with those native to the country, he believed them to be from India; Hence, Indians.

Some people may think because he " discovered America". The risk was not being able to reach the East Indies with the ships available at the time. He did reveal the existence of peoples living in the Caribbean. He never set foot or even saw the shore of what is now Mexico or the United States.

i dont know why are u on the internet go look in a stinken book

Christopher Columbus believed that he had sailed all the way to the East Indies, probably somewhere near the islands we now call Malaysia. He didn't realize that he had only sailed less than halfway to Asia.

In the event both Columbus was wrong (the earth was bigger then he thought) and common wisdom was wrong (180 degrees between Europe and Asia to the west was not all water, America was in the way). Columbus died believing he had opened up a direct route to Asia.

Seafarer

His intended destination was the area of the East Indies, a series of islands in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of the mainland of Asia. The indigenous people there were dark of skin and has cultures similar to those people found in the West Indies which is where Columbus made land fall. There fore his wishes to have completed his goal coupled with his misconception of the size of the planet caused a incorrect identification of his location on the planet.
