Answer 1

Christopher Columbus (1451? – May 20, 1506) was a navigator and maritime explorer credited as the discoverer of the Americas. Although it is generally accepted that he was Italian, Columbus is also associated with Spain because he was sponsored by the Catholic Monarchs and eventually became an admiral for the Crown of Castile. The name Christopher Columbus is a Latinization of the Spanish Don Cristobal Colón.

Columbus' voyages across the Atlantic Ocean began a European effort at exploration and colonization of the American continent. While history places great significance on his first voyage of 1492, 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. Nevertheless, 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

The anniversary of the 1492 voyage (vd. Columbus Day) is celebrated throughout the Americas and in Spain and Italy. However, as the legacy of genocide in the Americas is today viewed somewhat more negatively than in the past, Columbus has become a divisive figure.

Columbus spent some of his early years at his father's trade of weaving and later became a sailor on the Mediterranean. Shipwrecked near the Portuguese coast in 1476, he made his way to Lisbon, where his younger brother, Bartholomew, an expert chart maker, lived. Columbus, too, became a chart maker for a brief time in that great maritime center during the golden era of Portuguese exploration. Engaged as a sugar buyer in the Portuguese islands off Africa (the Azores, Cape Verde, and Madeira) by a Genoese mercantile firm, he met pilots and navigators who believed in the existence of islands farther west. It was at this time that he made his last visit to his native city, but he always remained a Genoese, never becoming a naturalized citizen of any other country. Returning to Lisbon, he married (1479?) the well-born Dona Filipa Perestrello e Moniz.

By the time he was 31 or 32, Columbus had become a master mariner in the Portuguese merchant service. It is thought by some that he was greatly influenced by his brother, Bartholomew, who may have accompanied Bartholomew Diaz on his voyage to the Cape of Good Hope, and by Martín Alonso Pinzón, the pilot who commanded the Pinta on the first voyage. Columbus was but one among many who believed one could reach land by sailing west. His uniqueness lay rather in the persistence of his dream and his determination to realize this "Enterprise of the Indies," as he called his plan. Seeking support for it, he was repeatedly rebuffed, first at the court of John II of Portugal and then at the court of Ferdinand and Isabella of Spain. Finally, after eight years of supplication by Columbus, the Spanish monarchs, having conquered Granada, decided to risk the enterprise.

Answer 2

We don't even know Columbus actual birthday so I don't think you are going to be able to find his elementary school. Plus schooling was different back then and schooling is still a little different in Europe

Answer 3

come off it! do you really think that they had that kind of thing then!? I assume you have had SOME kind of education! Chances are that Columbus never went to any school what ever, learning all he knew either at his kitchen table, or as an apprentice. If your teacher hasn't taught you about how things were back then go give him a hard slap for me and tell him I said to do his job!

Answer 4

do a web search and you shold be able to get information on him
