Christopher Columbus, the Explorer Christopher Columbus was an Italian explorer from Geneva and he was the discoverer of America. He was in search of a westward route to Asia but his calculations were wrong. Although, his explorations were just as important as the riches of of India or any other powerful Asian countries. Christopher Columbus is shown in the above image aweing the Jamaican Natives about the lunar eclipse.
Early Life The archives of Genoa show that the explorer was born Christoforo Columbo between August and October of 1451. Christopher grew up in a poor family, his father was weaver and his mother came from the same humble beginnings. Growing up, Christopher had a mediocre education and helped his father with work. He went to sea as early as 14 and looked older than he really was.

Christopher’s First Considerable Voyage Christopher Columbus was headed to Aegean Island of Chios, but they were attacked by a fleet of French ships; the ship that Columbus was on had sank. Christopher swam ashore in Lisbon, Portugal where his brother Bartholomew happened to live.
Christopher Columbus: Middle-Age By 1447, Columbus was settled in Lisbon, which happened to be a powerful city-state people who saw fortunes tied to trade. Christopher’s brother, Bartholomew, worked as a mapmaker in Lisbon. The two brothers worked together as book collectors and draftsmen. That year, Christopher set sail to northern Atlantic cities to sell their goods.
Christopher Columbus: Middle-Age Continued. Christopher Columbus married Filipa Moniz Perestrelo, who was apart of a noble family in Portugal. After their marriage, they settled down in Porto Santo, which is where Filipa Moniz Perstrelo’s brother was governor. Christopher and Filipa had a son named Diego and Filipa shortly after died.
Formation of an Idea Shortly after Filipa’s death, Columbus was in the process of trying to find a westward route to Asia. He underestimated the Earth’s circumference little did he know.
Propositions for His First Voyage In 1484, Christopher Columbus asked John the II of Portugal to pay for his voyage. After being rejected, Columbus moved to Spain with his son Diego to try and persuade Isabella of Castille and her husband, Ferdinand of Aragon. They gave him no attention and ignored his ideas.
Preparations for the First Voyage In 1492, Columbus resumed talking with rulers to pay for his first voyage. Rulers did not want to supply for his trip because Christopher was demanding too much. However, Queen Isabella finally agreed to fund for his trip.

The Departure Christopher Columbus set sail August 3, 1492. Weather was good, Christopher Columbus actually said the weather was “like April in Andalusia.” He sailed for 36 days until he finally found land.
Land Ho! On October 12, Columbus had found land, which is modern day San Salvador. Native Americans flocked to the shore and made friends with the Spaniards. Columbus called the Native Americans “Indians.” The other ships found the Bahamas and Christopher Columbus wanted to return to Spain immediately.
The Return Christopher Columbus sailed back to Spain safely, having the artifacts he had brought from San Salvador and bearing a few Native Americans that he had forced to come. The Pope granted Castille complete rights west of the Atlantic Ocean.
