Christoph Columbus
Christoph ColumbusChristoph Columbus was born in summer of 1451 in Genua in Italy. He moved to Portugal in 1476 and was convinced of the idea, that he, if he sail western, arrived at India. The reason of this thinking was the very difficult and dangerous overland way to India, which the Europeans needed to get condiments, silk and precious stones. He suggested to the Portuguese king, to sail this route, but he disapproved of Columbus´ plans. So he went to the Spanish queen. She agreed with his idea and ordered him to bring back gold and silver. Christoph Columbus made four exploration voyages between 1492 and 1504 and used the trade winds to sail faster. On 12.10.1492 he discovered the island San Salvador; some weeks later he founded a Spanish settlement(“La Navidad”) at Haiti. He thought, the islands he discovered were part of India, so the name “Indians” for the Native Americans. During the other voyages he explored the Gulf of Mexico and discovered Cuba, Jamaica, Trinidad and parts of coastal areas of South America. On 25.9.1502 Columbus entered as the first European the American continent in Costa Rica. Until his dead on 21.5.1506 in Valladolid in Spain he was convinced, that he discovered the sea route to India.
