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

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
