Though their voyages were different they both made a huge impact on the politics, economics and human civilization.

It is because of Christopher Columbus that we know more about how our world is and its history. Christopher Columbus had a huge impact in history and our lives today by sailing and learning more about our land. Some of Columbus biggest challenges were that everyone already had their minds set on how the Earth was and people didn’t agree his beliefs. Columbus had to find ways to sail across the ocean. He discovered things that he came across and accomplished things he set his mind to.

Christopher Columbus ledfour voyages in his life time. It all began due to the fact that he was amazed by the possibility of gathering Asian riches.

Christopher Columbus was born in Genoa around the year 1451. He was the son of a merchant and as he got older, in his teenage years, he got a job on a merchant ship. Columbus remained at sea until 1470, while Columbus was at sea doing his job French privateers attacked his ship when he was sailing north along the Portuguese coast. This event is a major reason why Columbus turned out the way he did in his adult years. When the French privateers attacked his ship, his ship sank and Columbus found a floating piece of scrap wood to hang onto. As the young Columbus was floating at sea, he eventually floated onto the shore of Lisbon. While Columbus was in Lisbon, he studied mathematics, astronomy, cartography and navigation that he would later use in his many voyages at

Christopher Columbus sailed with one-hundred men with the usage of three ships, and once they did, they ended up in the Bahamas. After Christopher Columbus and the men traveled Cuba and the Bahamas, they found an island named La Isla Espanol, which is Hispaniola. In late November of 1493, Christopher Columbus arrived in Hispaniola in order to find La Navidad, which is a fort, only soon to find out that it had been destroyed with everyone killed. He discovered the fort being destroyed and the men killed with his group of 1200 men. When Christopher Columbus was in Port de la Navidad, he knew that he had to behave himself, so he can give a good impression upon his enterprise. His ships were riding in the Province of Marien, which was not a popular land. It did not have stones or any other material to make a building, so he turned back eastward in order to discover a place to build a town.
