Christopher Columbus

Christopher Columbus was the founder of america. He was born before October 31 of 1451 and died on May 20 of 1506. He was an Italian explorer. He made four trips across the Atlantic ocean from Spain in 1492,1493, 1498, and 1502. His mission was to find a direct water route west from Europe to Asia but never did. Instead he accidentally stumbled across the americas. Though he did not really discover the new world millions of people had already lived there, therefore his journeys marked the beginnings of centuries of Atlantic conquest and colonization.

Reflection: I believe that Christopher Columbus did not discover America. He landed on America because there was already people living in America. But thanks to him more people started to come to america and that is when America started forming and making history.
