Columbus, in an effort to find a way from Europe to the East, was accidentally met the American continent which makes it more influential in world history, to her surprise yourself. His discovery was also a crown of exploration and colonization of the New World and at the same time also is an important milestone in the history. Columbus is like opening the door to the European continent for two new settlements, scattered population and provide a source of mineral wealth and fill the earth which in turn changed the face of Europe. Coincided with that discovery also led to the destruction of the culture of the Indians. In the long run, the discovery that gave birth to a new nation in the Western hemisphere continents, which very quickly distinguish themselves with the Indians as the indigenous population. As a result, Columbus brought a big change for the nations in the Old World.
An outline of the story of Columbus is not a new problem. He was born in Genoa, Italy, in 1451.When leaving an adult, he became captain and a navigator who deftly. Columbus finally convinced it is not impossible to find a more practical way to areas in eastern Asia by sailing westward across the Atlantic, and he diligently pioneered the determination. Of course this great intentions would not be done without cost enough. That's why Columbus persuaded Queen Isabella I provide a budget for the expedition experiment.
His ship anchored off the port of Spain on August 3, 1492. Melabuh first in the Canary Islands off the coast of Africa. Weigh in the Canary Islands on 6 September and sailed westward direction speed. A cruise is not a long game, so no wonder if the crew was horrified and wanted to back it. Columbus? No! Travel must be forwarded, once rolled sails abstinence. And on October 2, 1492 is like a piece of green silk, looked at the bow of the land.
Columbus returned to Spain next March from the terrible discovery was greeted people with respect. After that he made a series of voyages across the Atlantic in the hope of setting foot in China and Japan. But in vain! Columbus kept insisting on his mind that he had found the route to East Asia long before anyone else knew.
Queen Isabella promised Columbus became governor of the island wherever he encountered.But, as an administrator he really so incompetent dismissed from his post and sent home to Spain with his hands shackled. But, when he got in Spain he was released just never given the post again. Rumor says Columbus died in poverty without any funds. When his death in 1506 - other news - there is also the little property.
Clearly, the first voyage Columbus was a revolutionary change for the history of Europe, and even have a greater influence for the European continent. The children recite in school all year 1492 is important. However there are many possible objections to place names in the order of Columbus this book list.
One objection is that instead of Columbus the first European to discover the New World. Leif Ericson, Viking sailors, centuries before Columbus had set foot on the continent of America and so-so to believe some other Europeans had crossed the Atlantic in the days of Leif Ericson and Columbus.
From the point of history, Leif Ericson is not an important character. Matters concerning his findings have never spread, so did not leave any changes both in America and Europe. Instead, the news of Columbus' discovery of America as lightning spread throughout Europe. Only a few years after returning Columbus, and as a direct result of his discovery, many additional expedition arrived in the New World and the conquest and colonization even start.
Like the other characters in this book, Columbus susceptible to interference of various comments as if what he was doing other people do if Columbus had never lived in the world.European 15th century AD in a state of worry and berkemelut: world trade grew, the exploration of new areas is inevitable. The Portuguese were in fact very actively seeking a new path to the flow of the East, at the decisive moments before Columbus.
America is likely to sooner or later discovered by the Europeans; maybe even If there was a delay, it is time not so long. But subsequent developments will be very much different if the Americans found - say in 1510 - the expedition of the French or English and not in 1492 by Columbus. On the pretext of whatever is in fact Colombuslah who found the American continent.
The third objection is the possibility, even before Columbus' journey many of the Europeans the 15th century who had advised that the real earth is round shape. This theory has been expressed by the Greek philosophers of the previous centuries, and an unshakable justification of the hypotheses of Aristotle was enough to convince the European intelligentsia in the 1400s.Meanwhile, Columbus was not known who showed that the earth is round. (At least, he could not do it). He is renowned in the case of New World discovery, the good people of Europe the 15th century or Aristotle did not know anything of the American continent.
Columbus morality is not entirely admirable. He is famous miser. Nature is what caused him to have difficulty getting funding support from the Queen Isabella for Columbus' greed is too revealing when bargaining. Also - though not deserve accused by contemporary ethics measure - he treated the Indians with the cruelty that is. Therefore, this book is not a list of people who are most wise bestari in history, but the most influential people, and within the framework of this size near Columbus ranks at the top.
