Christopher Columbus

Aug. 1492 - Sets SailSept. 1493 - Second Trip1498 - Third Trip1502 - Last Journey

Eventually I got to a place that I thought was India, but it turns out that I discovered America! Talk about an interesting adventure!

I was born in 1451 in a place called Genoa, Italy. I've been an explorer ever since I was a teenager, eventually moving to Portugal. I was one of the first people to believe you could get to the East Indies through the Atlantic Ocean. It took a lot of convincing, but eventually the King ' Queen of Spain agreed to pay for my voyage to see if my belief was right!
