(1451 - 1506)
Christopher Columbus discovered the United StatesFamous Italian traveler, is credited with the discovery of the New World(USA).Born
in the city of Genoa in Italy and studied at the University of Pavia
mathematics and natural sciences and perhaps also astronomy. Across
the Atlantic Ocean and reached the Caribbean islands in the October 12,
1492 m, but his discovery of the land of the North American continent
was in his second trip in 1498.Some
of the effects indicate a connection between Europe and America even
before Columbus' discovery of that territory a long time. Revelation of his character name of the country: Colombia
The idea of the journey
Generated in this idea of Columbus' voyage in the desire to achieve for three reasons:
Fame and wealth.
Born to Katoleikth bigotry has the desire to find a way other than roads with AQIM Mohammedans as he put it.
Marine in his blogs.
Exerted great effort in the study of modern marine operation in his time. Also acknowledged that the scholars of his time to cross into the Indian sub-continent and the continent of Asia is not limited to flights to the east, but access to the west and possible direction to a spherical earth. On the basis of this viewpoint has decided to adventure based on the latest maps of the Italian scholars of his time Toscanala Paulo (1397-1492) as well as the German Martin Beckham (1459-1505). Both scientists specializing sports and astronomy.
But the fact that Christopher Columbus was not he who discovered America, but stopped in the area of the islands of Ante and carried forward by his sailor facilities Idaa Omrigo and this continent called America.
Letter to the King of Portugal
Rejection of his Senate in Genoa, as well as King Henry VII of England resorted boiled send a message to the King's Counselor Portuguese Joao II, saying: I know that the existence of such a path is the proof of a real spherical earth and easy proof of this theory I decided the opening of the Seaway's new and I will send to Your Majesty map of my discovery sector. will present them Minaakm and Dzrkm indicating the point of sailing to the West and places Sakchwha during the trip and also the furthest point can be reached with either pole or the equator and the distances Stabrunha to gain access to countries that may reap such treasures, not Ttfajaa if I said that the West, the country's treasures and as usual they call us the east, where it sailed down the west towards the east arrived in the country across the ocean to the second half of the globe. But if you sent explorers across the dry land from the hemisphere where you are, we find that those countries that have been connecting to it is only the Middle ... But his share was not in Portugal as well.
Agreement with the royal Spain
On April 30, 1492 signed the Catholic Kings Spaniards, with Kristfor Convention, stating that Columbus "Kmkchw of the islands and continents into the sea and ocean," On the basis of the above will be given the rank of Prince of the seas and oceans as a decision royal applies in all parts of the country. And add to this that it would give 10% of the gold and goods which will be attended with him without any taxes.
To prepare for the journey
Ship Santa Maria type Caravelle
In the port of Pylos had been equipped with three ships of various sizes:
First ship: the flagship Santa Maria, one of the Caravelle type (in English: caravel). The immersion of the ship -2.8 m, -227 tons displacement college, the number of the crew - 84 seas. This was the ship, led by Admiral (Prince of the Sea) Columbus.
Second vessel: Penta Caravelle, one of the type (in English: caravel). Length - 20.1 m, width - 7.3 m, immersion - 2.0 m, displacement - 168.4 tons, the crew - 65. The captain and the owner was Martin Alonso Pinzón.
The third ship: Nina was the kind of Caravelle (in English: caravel). This designation was common on the ship but her real name was Santa Clara length - 17.3 m, width - 5.6 m, immersion - 1.9 m, displacement - 101.2 tons, the crew - 40 seas. Captain Yiannis ڤicente Benson and the owner of the ship Juan Ninia.
And all the sailing ships sail depending on wind strength and direction.
The first discoveries

The return of the ships
His memoirs
On December 16, 1492 Penta ships returned to Spain and Nina in the return trip took about 3 months, where the Spanish arrived in the port March 15, 1493. It is the first cruise, which lasted from this period continued to sail in a piece of the times.
MisconceptionColumbus was the belief that he arrived to the so-called Western India has been successful trips where he was able to bring a lot of gold, owning many of the islands named in Hindi. King and Queen of Spain were in the very joy of the findings of the sea discovered Columbus.
Continued on a journey exploringColumbus did not stop at this point of the discoveries he was always eager to discover what is beyond, and returned to sailing from the ports of Thanbh Spain with a fleet of 17 ships, accompanied by 1500 sailors, and ships were equipped with supplying enough 6 months. Like its predecessor did not gain access to this flight failure, have discovered new islands, including what is today the Antilles and later the Caribbean Sea from the southern side of Cuba. All this for the sake of his search for India ...In May 1494 arrived in Jamaica, and several other islands located east of the American continent. Thus, Columbus arrived to the most important discoveries and the most important sea routes have been developed new maps and new graphics all this did not have guessed that one day did not reach India.
His deathOn May 20, 1506 m in Spain, his health deteriorated and began fighting for his life after he scuffled throughout his life with the sea and the waves of the ocean. Have been buried without ceremony to the funeral entrusted to scientists and discoverers of that time.Christopher Columbus died in Valladolid in 1506 in a home that is now a museum dedicated to him. Announced in 2006 the results of research by a team from the University of Granada on the bones of the person buried in the Cathedral of Sevilla, which proved that they belong to Christopher Columbus (1451 1506) [4 ]. But while Christopher Columbus was the first to discover Omricaalm new but they called on someone else is Omrigo Vespucci, who confirmed that Christopher Columbus did not reach Alai India, but he arrived to the New World in 1507 by geographical German Martin Vdezmiller mapping the new world as he saw and described Omrigo Vespucci and proposed to call this world Discovered name and found this proposal acceptable, and this new world called America relative to the Omrigo Vespucci.
