Christopher Columbus

Was born in Genoa, Italy in 1451

Ferdinand and Isabella of Spain agreed to fund his trip across the Atlantic to find a quicker route to Asian trade

On August 3, 1942 Columbus Set sail with three ships : the Nina, the Pinta, and the Santa Maria

On October 12th Christopher Columbus arrived on land . He arrived on the Caribbean Islands .

He looked for precious pearls, gold , silver , and spices, which he had promised the King and Queen but did not find any

In March 1493 he left to Spain and returned again in September and made 2 other trips
