Christopher Columbus
Was born in Genoa, Italy in 1451
He studied Navigation among others things and was set
to discover a quicker trip to Asia like other Explorers.
Ferdinand and Isabella of Spain agreed to fund his trip
across the Atlantic to find a quicker route to Asian
trade
On August 3, 1942 Columbus Set sail with three ships
: the Nina, the Pinta, and the Santa Maria
On October 12th Christopher Columbus arrived on land .
He arrived on the Caribbean Islands .
He looked for precious pearls, gold , silver , and spices,
which he had promised the King and Queen but did not
find any
In March 1493 he left to Spain and returned again in
September and made 2 other trips
Christopher Columbus did not bring back gold and silver
but left a desire for others to explore and take over the
Americas …
Let’s set the record straight

Christopher Columbus was alive. It
was inhabited by millions of
Indigenous Peoples without their own
culture, language, government, and
trading systems.
He landed in what we know as the
Bahamas , present day Haiti and the
Dominican Republic
He used Indigenous people for
information on the land, to work, for
entertainment, and for gold
