Christopher Columbus
Christopher Columbus was born in the seaport town of Genoa in Italy in 1451. When he was only ten years old, Columbus went to a famous school near Genoa and studied arithmetics and geography. He was only 14 years old when he first sailed to the East. Then he made many voyages before he was able to buy three small ships and sail across the Atlantic Ocean. His life on the sea, talks with sailors and the results of science made him sure that the earth is round. He wanted to reach India by a westward voyage and at the same time prove that the earth was round. He also wanted to discover a new and shorter way to the East. Columbus set sail on the 3rd of August, 1492. He was on the Ocean for ten weeks. After many hardships he and his sailors saw land. The land was America. Columbus continued his explorations, but he always thought that the island he had discovered were and the West Indies and he died never knowing that he had discovered a new Continent.
