Christopher Columbus

This is an image of all four of his voyages.

This is a little diagram/drawing I did of the Columbian Exchange and what they traded through the new and old world.

Over the next few years, Columbus made a few more voyages to the New World, encountering new lands and peoples. But his relationship with the native people became worse. He and his crew often mistreated and enslaved them.

Today, Columbus&apos;s legacy is a debatable one. While he is celebrated by some as a brave explorer who discovered a new land, others see him as a symbol of colonialism and exploitation. Even with these disagreements, there is no doubt that his journey changed the world.

As Columbus and his crew explored the island, they encountered the Indigenous peoples, who were friendly and quite welcoming. Columbus was amazed by their style of dress and their painted body art. But he also saw them as uncivilized human beings, and believed it was his duty to convert them to Christianity.

This is a small collage of the three boats he sailed: The Nina, The Pinta, and The Santa Maria.

Here I made a simple comic strip about what he found important in life. 

Despite these controversies, Columbus remained convinced that he was doing God&apos;s work. He believed that by bringing Christianity and European civilization to the New World, he was fulfilling a good mission. Christopher died in 1506, still believing that he had changed the course of history and brought glory to Spain.

Christopher Columbus stood at the big wheel of the Santa Maria, gazing out at the endless ocean before him. It had been months since he set sail from Spain, eager to find a new trade route to the riches of the East Indies. He had been through big storms, and through his sick moments, but now he felt closer than ever to his goal.

Finally, on October 12th, 1492, after months of sailing, Columbus spotted land! He, and his crew had reached the New World, a place never before seen by European eyes. He named the island San Salvador, and was filled with a sense of wonder and awe at the strange new land he had discovered. Columbus’s desire to find a trade rout to the East Indies, was kind of like a cause and the consequence to that was him and his crew mistreating and enslaving the Indiginous.
