He was Italian but sailed the ships for Spain because they were the ones that gave him the ships and money to sail and he sailed to the west indies where he realized that everyone and everything looked different than India but still thought he was in another part of India

His trip was financed by the Spanish govt and the 3 ships flew the Spanish flag- so the answer to your question is Spain. He was originally from Genoa, Italy. He now has become a symbol of America.

wow! you must've fallen off the cabbage patch boat not to know but i'll take this as a sincere question, so here it goes. christopher columbus/christo colon's origin is dubious but probably italy. he failed in his home country so he went to spain. they were on the march to overseas exploration and needed any fool to go where no civilized man had gone before, conquer and colonize in spain's name, etc. the rest, they say, is truly history. oh, and he sailed quite a few times but his initial voyage was in 1492. good year for spain. sad year for the native americans, or the Caribs. now, you get it? got it? good!

Italy did not exist till 1860, i'm Italian because of the fact i grew to become into born in Italy after that 365 days. My ancestors residing in the northeastern areas of Italy formerly 1860 did not seen themselves Italian, they seen themselves Venetians and Emiliani. They spoke 2 romance language and not Italian, not because of the fact they have been uneducated, because of the fact they have been their mothertongues. What are actually seen dialects of Italian are languages of Latin origins and don't have Italic roots. If, say, Venetian is an Italic language, then Spanish is Italic as nicely. Cristofer Columbus spoke Genovese it fairly is a dialect of the Ligurian language that's not a dialect of Italian. those days Italians from Genoa evaluate themselves Italians and Ligurians, by skill of the time Italians as a people did not exist. My ancestors from Veneto did not meet appropriate or southern Italians, their usa grew to become into Veneto, they only knew people residing in the neighbouring ''areas'', who spoke diverse languages and it wasn't straightforward to understand one yet another. you're conversing nonsense approximately northerners that raped and murdered the southerners. i don't understand in what strange internet site you have examine it.

He was Italian, but he sailed for Spain. He discovered the new world. He landed on Hispaniola, an island in the Caribbean.

He was commissioned by Ferdinand and Isabella of Spain, although he was Italian by birth.
He was looking for a faster trade-route to China and India. He found neither.
