Christopher
Columbus the most famous explorer of all time. He was born in Genoa in Italy. The year in which this incredible boy was born
was in 1471. Later when he got a little
bigger he became interested in ships. Before millions of years ago the majority
of people thought the earth was flat but Christopher Columbus thought
differently because he thought the earth was round. After a while he got married and settled in
place called Lisbon and had a son called Diego. He wanted to spread Christianity news of God,
news of the Bible around the world. He
wanted to find islands of the East and he wanted to explore and set up
exploration. If it wasn’t for
Christopher Columbus people would have thought the earth was flat. We will now see wheather Christopher Columbus
was a really incredible successful sailor. Because he was successful many things went
well for Columbus. So as things went
well for Columbus he began to find various riches like dazzling gold,
scrumptious spices and sparkling silk. Another thing was that millions of
people still believed the earth was flat although Columbus wanted to prove them
wrong that the earth was round. Several
people thought he was mad so he wanted to prove them wrong. After all Columbus became Viercy of the
islands he found. He also found Jamaica.
To prove it he set on a trip with 3
ships. They were called the Santa Marina, Pinta, Nina. This man helped us find the various riches.
When he set on his 3 ships on Christmas day 1492 the Santa Marina hit a reef
unexpectedly and sunk. Because 1 of his
ships sank so he had to leave 43 men behind. The people of Spain and the families of the 43
men were devastated because they lost some of their relatives. In some of the islands he found he became
governor although because he ruled the natives cruelly he was arrested and sent
back to his own country, Spain. Without
his help some islands would not be found.
