About This Item

Christopher Columbus (born between 31 October 1450 and 30 October 1451, died May 20, 1506 ) was an Italian explorer, navigator and colonizer , born in the Republic of Genoa (Italy). With support from the Spanish royal couple (King Ferdinand II of Aragon and Isabella I of Castile, " Reyes Catolicos ") he set out across the Atlantic to find a sea route other than Vasco da Gama did to India. Columbus reached America in 1492. , He thought that he had found a western route to India and the people of America came to be called Indians. The discovery marks the beginning of the European colonization of the Americas .

Christopher Columbus was not the first European to reach the Americas. The Vikings , with Leif Eriksson at the helm, had visited North America as early as the 1000's and the Portuguese João Vaz Corte Real could possibly have been there in 1472. Medieval legends also speak about the Irish monk Saint Brendan . He undertook long voyages on the 500 's and it has been speculated that he, too, reached North America.

Christofer Columbus (född mellan 31 oktober, 1450 och 30 oktober 1451, död den 20 maj, 1506) var en italiensk utforskare, navigatör och kolonisatör, född i Republiken Genua (Italien). Med stöd från spanska kungaparet (kung Ferdinand II av Aragonien och Isabella I av Kastilien, "Reyes Católicos") gav han sig iväg över Atlanten för att finna en annan sjöväg än vad Vasco da Gama gjorde till Indien. Columbus nådde Amerika år 1492. Han trodde då att han hade funnit en västlig rutt till Indien och befolkningen i Amerika kom därför att kallas indianer. Upptäckten markerar början av den europeiska koloniseringen av Amerika.

Christofer Columbus var dock inte den förste europén som nådde den amerikanska kontinenten. Vikingarna, med Leif Eriksson i spetsen, hade besökt Nordamerika redan på 1000-talet och portugisen João Vaz Corte Real kan möjligen ha varit där 1472. Medeltida legender talar även om den irländske munken Sankt Brendan. Denne företog långa sjöfärder på 500-talet och det har spekulerats om att också han nådde Nordamerika.
