Christopher Columbus

Diego Columbus, the Portuguese explorer and navigator, was born on Porto Santo Island in 1479. He died in La Puebla de Montalban, Spain on February 23, 1526.

Yes, he did kill the people in the islands he found. He never reached North American, but in a sense he began the genocide that would soon follow as people from the new world met the people from the old world.

Queen Isabella

Yes Christopher Columbus had very bad eye sight

Well, many nations wanted to explore and profit from trade in the new world. The French specifically wanted to use America to sell fur and make a profit from it, and they explored and settled large tracts of land. However, because of the Protestant Reformation, the edict of Fontainebleau, and the intolerance of Huguenots, many French were also fleeing France for the same reason that people were fleeing England. Religious intolerance brought many, many people to the Americas.

He had Six Siblings

Texas didn't exist in 1492. His impact was very minor if he had any in Europe. In his life he was considered a failure. Not only didn't he find a water route to Asia, but he also did not bring home riches, gold, or spices. As far as the crown was concerned he didn't meet the demands of his contract with them. When he died he was broke, sick, and was a disgrace. His son files a suit against the crown to try to claim some of the contract in his father's name after his death.

Columbus wasnt actually mean and mad all the time. But he was during his exploration. No body knows why he could but there is alot of theories. Most people suggest since he was at sea for more than a year he turned crazy. Like every crew, captain, or other explorer this isn't strange at all. Another theory is that he didn't have a good crew. His crew would always sleep and not work. Like a teacher is mean if his/her students misbehave. Since no one had a written record of why he was mean only that he was we will never actually know.

a. perfumes, spices, silks and jewels

The exact landing site of Columbus is a matter of some dispute, but it was probably the island of Hispaniola.

he would probably find a country

Columbus' goal was to establish permanent colonies in the New World that he would govern. The main purpose of these settlements was to convert all the natives to Christianity.

In terms of how Columbus saw the Native Americans as part of a Spanish Colonial Empire, he saw them as laborers and cultivators for cash crops. He eventually became governor of Hispaniola (the island where Haiti and the Dominican Republic are now). He was known for forcing the native Arawak and Taino tribes to undergo so much pain and hardship in digging mines and cultivating cash crops that numerous natives died. Spanish officials actually wrote to Spanish Monarchy to revoke his position on account of these egregious abuses. Eventually, they were heeded and Columbus was deported back to Spain.

Historians have no idea. They aren't sure today that the story we know about Columbus is true. Many think he was a Spanish noble who took on a persona to be able to get funds from the crown because his family were rivals of the crown. He spoke and wrote only in Spanish ( strange for a man who was suppose to be Italian), was married to a Spanish noble woman ( a poor man wouldn't have been able to marry nobility). There is no way for us to know about the lives of people as children since no books could be published, most people didn't read or write, and other devices like the camera weren't invented.

The Santa Maria's overall keel length was 115 feet. But the length of her waterline (LWL) was only about 72 feet, which gives her a theoretical maximum hull speed of only 11.3 knots. The other ships were smaller and sleeker, and therefore faster. See http://www.answers.com/topic/nina-pinta-and-santa-maria

Since he had been incompetent in his management of the new colonies, he and his brothers were thrown in jail. After a lot of legal actions he was refused a share in the riches of the West Indies that he had discovered.

Warren Carroll considers Christopher Columbus the greatest explorer because he fundamentally altered the course of history by opening the Americas to European exploration and colonization. Carroll argues that Columbus's daring voyages demonstrated exceptional courage, vision, and determination, paving the way for cultural exchanges and the eventual rise of Western civilization in the New World. Additionally, Columbus's achievements are seen as a pivotal moment that reshaped global trade and interactions between continents.

The question should be did Columbus bring back syphilis which is disputable however the disease did break out at the time of Columbus return from the new world but there is no conclusive evidence that he brought back the scourge of the renaicanncw with him. He did defiantly bring aloe vera aboard the ship which has great healing properties so If he did bring back an std at least there was a trade off I suppose

Christopher Columbus sailed many times but the tribes he encountered was the Taino and the Arawak.

Vespucci

Christopher Columbus went to Asia but really ended up in America

"In 1492, Columbus sailed the ocean blue."

Not really were the 39 men he left on Hispaniola considered a colony and when he returned they were all dead. The first North American colony that survived would be Jamestown established in 1607.
