Born: 1451, Genoa, Italy Died: May 20, 1506, Valladolid, Spain Full name: Cristoforo Colombo Ships: Santa María, Pinta, Niña Quotes Following the light of the sun, we left the Old World. For the execution of the voyage to the Indies, I did not make use of intelligence, mathematics or maps. No one should fear to undertake any task in the name of our Saviour, if it is just and if the intention is purely for His holy service.

2. He was an Italian explorer,
colonizer, and navigator. He is
remembered as the principle
discoverer of the Americas and
helped bring the Americas to the
forefront of the western
consciousness. His discoveries and
travels laid the framework for the
later European colonisation of Latin
and North America

5. Christopher Columbus was a believer in
the spherical nature of the world (some
Christians still held the view that the
world was flat). Though his views on the
global nature of the world were not
unique. An ambitious man, Christopher
Columbus hoped to find a Western
approach to the lucrative Spice markets in
Asia. Rather than sailing East, he hoped
that sailing west would lead to countries
like Japan and China.
