	Christopher Columbus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Columbus is assumed to have been born in Genoa, in modern Italy, according to statements attributed to Columbus himself, members of his family, and others who knew him well.
		Columbus returned to Hispaniola on August 19 to find that many of the Spanish settlers of the new colony were discontent, having been misled by Columbus about the supposedly bountiful riches of the new world.
		Columbus' struggles to "civilize" the Americas, and the subsequent effects on the native peoples, were dramatised in 1492: Conquest of Paradise to commemorate the 500th anniversary of his landing in the Americas.

	Christopher Columbus
		Columbus is often credited as the discoverer of the Americas, because 15th century Europe was unaware of their existence, and it is his discovery that created the still-existing bonds between the continents.
		Although Friar Bartolome de Las Casas wrote of Columbus's cruelties contemporaneously with Columbus, it was not until the 1960s that Columbus increasingly became used as a symbol of all that was and is wrong with European imperialism--slavery, genocide, and the wholesale destruction of indigenous cultures.
		While Columbus cannot be blamed for all of European imperialism, some argue that the misdeeds Columbus committed as viceroy and governor of Spanish-occupied territories in the Americas between 1493 and 1500 are enough for him to be considered guilty of genocide.

		Columbus is often credited as the Discoverer of the Americas, because of his role in making 15th century Europe aware of their existence; it is his discovery that created the still-existing bonds between the continents.
		Later Columbus was stranded on Jamaica for a year; he sent two men by canoe to get help from Hispaniola; in the meantime, he impressed the local population by correctly predicting an eclipse of the moon.
		The casting of Columbus as a figure of "good" or of "evil" often depends on people's perspectives as to whether the arrival of Europeans to the New World and the introduction of Christianity or the Roman Catholic faith is seen as positive or negative.

		Columbus apparently gained access to the papers of the deceased former governor and found a wealth of information including maps, charts revealing ocean currents, personal interviews with sailors, and stories about objects that drifted to the coast of the little island from the west.
		Columbus had the misfortune on this trip of entering the doldrums, a dead space in the ocean where wind and ocean currents die and the heat is unbearable.
		Columbus’ fleet, including 4 ships and 150 men, set sail from Cadiz bound for the Indies on May 9, 1502 in what was to be “Another voyage in the name of the Holy Trinity,” as he stated in a letter to the Pope.

		Christopher Columbus accidentally discovered the Western Hemisphere for Europeans on October 12, 1492, although he continued to believe he had reached Asia until his death in 1506, even though his contemporaries knew that this land was not Asia.
		They were right and Columbus was wrong; unless he had unexpectedly encountered a previously uncharted continent in mid-travel, he and his crew would have perished from lack of food and water.
		Columbus landed in the Bahamas (the exact place is unknown) and later explored much of the Caribbean, including the isles of Juana (Cuba) and Espanola (Hispaniola), as well as the coasts of Central and South America.
