Christopher Columbus Italian Cristoforo Colombo; Spanish: Cristóbal Colón (c. 1451–May 20, 1506) was a navigator and an admiral for the Crown of Castile whose transatlantic voyages opened the Americas to European exploration and colonization. He is commonly believed to have been from Genoa, but his origins remain uncertified and highly disputed. History places great significance on his original voyage of 1492 A.D., although he did not actually reach the mainland until his third voyage in 1498. Likewise, he was not the earliest European explorer to reach the Americas, as there are accounts of European transatlantic contact prior to 1492. However, Columbus' voyage came at a critical time of growing national imperialism and economic competition between developing nation states seeking wealth from the establishment of trade routes and colonies. Therefore, the period before 1492 is known as Pre-Columbian, and the anniversary of this event (Columbus Day) is celebrated throughout the Americas and in Spain and Italy.

to me he did not found america..but he stole the lands of america from the ingenious tribe-the red indians..the red indians are the real people of america..but cristoforo columbus and his croonies took away their lands, their wives, and their cows and horses and called them their own..he's not someone to be proud of..
