Christopher Columbus

Christopher Columbus was a famous explorer. He discovered North America. In 1489 he asked the queen of Spain if he could borrow some ships and supplies to search for a better route to the Indies. In return he would give her gold that he found. The queen said yes and he got what he needed. The ships he got were the Nina, Pinta, and Santa Maria. He sailed with his crew.

One day a man spotted land. It was somewhere in the Carribean. When he landed he found people and called them Indians. He traded with them,and then returned to Spain. After that he made 3 more voyages.
