Christopher Columbus

Christopher Columbus was an Italian salesman that was going to travel to India but he sailed west and found America. His discovery of America was an accident. He thought he was in India. For seven years Christopher Columbus traveled around Europe looking for someone who would finance his journey. After a few years Christopher Columbus had reached his destination, Spain. Christopher's biggest accomplishment was that he discovered America. In August of 1492, they granted Christopher Columbus the supplies, men and ships that he needed to carry out his journey. Columbus was given three sailing ships. These ships were named the Nina, the Pinta, and the Santa Maria. May 20, 1506 was the year that Christopher had died.
