If the troops were not sent to other countries that do not need our help, I would get to see him more. I do not think we should mess with ISIS unless the try to mess with us.

A couple of myths are on the idea that Christopher Columbus solely wanted to figure out if the world was flat and locate the Americas. Though in the school system teachers and textbooks portray Christopher as an important person in america 's history. He is seen as a great hero mainly because of his voyage to find America. Before he could even go on his journey he had to get the funding for ships and other necessities this is when he supposedly convinced the queen of Spain to sell her jewelry so that she would have enough money to fund for his

The closest he came was the Bahama’s. After his initial voyage, Columbus exaggerated his findings and convinced Isabella and Ferdinand to provide him with more ships and men.

In Alfred T. Mahan, The Interest of America in Sea Power, expresses that America must look outward to extend its influence. This shows that this was a departure from past expansionism because the U.S. wanted a political and economical status in the other country, they wanted to control trade. United States never really want to govern a country, they have always kept the idea of

When Columbus decided to go out there and explore the world and sail west until he reaches the Indies, he led three ships which were known as the Pinta, the Nina and the Santa Maria out of the port of Palos Spain. He stopped at the Canary Islands and this was due to the lack of wind so the expedition was stopped at the time. What had helped him to sail easily to the Americas was a calm sea and wind that would lead him there (he was lucky). But the trip has taken more time than anticipated and his crew started to be concerned, so what he did was that he had two sets of logs one of them showed the real distance that was traveled by the three ships and one log that had a less distance traveled. The log with the true distance traveled was kept

One bad decision that Odysseus was made when he decided to sail towards Scylla and Charybdis when he could have sailed the other option, “One ship alone, one deep-sea craft sailed clear,/ the Argo sung by the world, when heading home/ from Aeetes’ shores” (12. 76-78). This quote shows that there was one ship that sailed past the Clashing Rocks unharmed. Odysseus could have chosen to sail this path, but he didn’t. A real hero would have taken the route that wouldn’t have killed any of his crew like the route with Scylla and Charybdis did.

The Drewry was to escort Thomas’ ship in for a meeting with an important man on an important mission was what they told him. When they stopped him, Thomas told them that he planned to stop anyway, that he was dropping off a few supplies (which was not true, but he figured it would get him in good with those in charge) and taking on fresh water. He figured he could spare a few cases of rum and a bushel or three of fruits for the fort.

In the Non-fiction book, 1491: New Revelations of the Americas before Columbus, Charles Mann aims to debunk an array of beliefs about Native Americans that most scholars once insisted were true. Mann’s research suggests that the native people of the Americas are more intelligent and sophisticated than previously predicted, live in higher numbers and greatly impact the natural landscape. The book is split into three parts: Numbers from Nowhere, Very Old Bones, and Landscapes with Figures. These parts focus on the population, culture, origins and the environment. Mann builds his arguments by reassessing a myriad of pre-existing views about the Americas prior to 1492.

What would eventually become the start point of what is today called the Columbian Exchange started about 500 years ago when Christopher Columbus and his 3 ships set off to from Spain to find India. Instead of India, they discovered the New World, America. The exchange of animals and plants that took place after this would come to be very important to Europe and America.
