Christopher Columbus (/kəˈlʌmbəs/; Italian: Cristoforo Colombo; Spanish: Cristóbal Colón; Portuguese: Cristóvão Colombo; between 31 October 1450 and 30 October 1451 in Genoa – 20 May 1506 in Valladolid) was an Italian explorer, navigator, colonizer and citizen of the Republic of Genoa. Under the auspices of the Catholic Monarchs of Spain, he completed four voyages across the Atlantic Ocean. Those voyages, and his efforts to establish permanent settlements on the island of Hispaniola, initiated the Spanish colonization of the New World.
In the context of emerging Western imperialism and economic competition between European kingdoms through the establishment of trade routes and colonies, Columbus's proposal to reach the East Indies by sailing westward eventually received the support of the Spanish Crown, which saw in it a chance to enter the spice trade with Asia through a new westward route. During his first voyage in 1492, instead of arriving at Japan as he had intended, Columbus reached the New World, landing on an island in the Bahamas archipelago that he named "San Salvador". Over the course of three more voyages, Columbus visited the Greater and Lesser Antilles, as well as the Caribbean coast of Venezuela and Central America, claiming all of it for the Crown of Castile.

Bibliography at bottom of description AUTHOR'S NOTE: This video is meant to give a non-bias account of the events which unfolded when Columbus and his crew made contact with the people of the Caribbean. Of course, I was not able to fit everything into the video; I had to omit details, such as the fact that the Taino were not the only people that Columbus encountered (there were also the Ciguayo tribe and Carib cannibals). A second particular is that not all fault should lie directly on Columbus' shoulders. His crew of 1,200 for the second journey consisted partly of convicts and landless nobles, the worst type of people with which to build a settlement....
Columbus set sail and found land in the Western Sea, but he did not find the riches of China or India and his discoveries turned into a big disappointment
PBS America | Sky 534 | Virgin Media 243 | pbsamerica.co.uk This film celebrates the achievements of the man who discovered the New World, dramatically reconstructing Christopher Columbus's first voyage in 1492. Although he had no idea of the fact, Columbus changed the world as it was then known. His intention was to find a new way to reach the Far East by sailing west, but what he did not realise was that a large obstacle stood in his way in the shape of the American continent. Featuring replicas of Columbus's three ships, the film follows the course of the explorer's voyage as he crossed the Atlantic, first sighting land in the Bahamas and sailing down the coasts of Cuba and Hispaniola before triumphantly returning to Europe. Although he is generally acknowledged not to be the first Eu...

On his first sea voyage, young Columbus visits the Isle of Chios; it is then that he first experiences life aboard a boat and "learns the ropes" of sailing. One day, the captain decides to cancel a port of call to ensure a swifter arrival, a decision which greatly upsets the sailors; for this he promises two days of rest at Chios. However, after only a brief stay at the Isle of Chios, the captain decides to leave again immediately, promising the crew double their regular pay; most of the crew go along with this, but John does not agree, fearing a storm. click here to watch the full playlist: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P8WdNw9qMAA&list;=PLYXievo3ibiUmVzVyvIEfnkHHEdga3GR7 SUBSCRIBE to our channel: http://www.youtube.com/channel/UC1H4TpuRT7msxfqG0jt3sNw?sub_confirmation=1

Columbus finally earns himself an interview with the King of Lisbon for the purpose of better explaining the value of reaching the Indies by sailing west. The King at first seems interested by Columbus's proposed-project, and so assembles a group of experts to assess its worth. However, the group of examiners reject the project, when Columbus then suddenly learns of the unfortunate death of Felipa back in Porto Santo. Columbus leaves Portugal at once with his son Diego and goes to Castile. click here to watch the full playlist: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P8WdNw9qMAA&list;=PLYXievo3ibiUmVzVyvIEfnkHHEdga3GR7 SUBSCRIBE to our channel: http://www.youtube.com/channel/UC1H4TpuRT7msxfqG0jt3sNw?sub_confirmation=1

Once upon a time, I got this idea
That the world was round like me
So I asked the Queen for three fine ships
To sail across the sea
So I asked the Queen for three fine ships
To sail across the sea
Traveling with hoodlums as my crewman
Made me quite a little scared
Luckily I found that in the new world
Somebody was already there
Luckily I found that in the new world
Somebody was already there
I wasn't very sure just what to call them
Watch the funny clothes they wear
So I told them, they were Indians
'Cause I knew they were already there
So I told them, they were Indians
