When Columbus did get there he took some of the natives by force in hopes they would show him where the good stuff was, such as the gold. Columbus left this island and since he knew the world was round he could sale west and make it to the place he headed for. He ended up being thousands of miles farther away than he had calculated. On the way up to Asia he came across uncharted land between Europe and Asia also known as America.

All three of Columbus’s ships were stocked with supplies, food, and sea men who were prepared for the long journey ahead of them. Although Columbus had not realized it at the time, he and his men discovered what would become Europe’s foothold in the advancing world.
