Christopher Columbus achieved remarkable success in the New World by discovering new lands and presenting an opportunity for new development. Over the course of four voyages across the Atlantic Ocean, Columbus ignited the conquest and colonization of land in the New World.

The benefits that arose from his expeditions were known as the Columbian Exchange, which included the transfer of people, resources, and culture, all of which significantly impacted society worldwide. His world changing legacy impacted the development of the territory in the New World and increased trade, resources, and economic stability for Europe.

The Journal of Christopher Columbus is the day to day journal/diary writing of Christopher Columbus. He started taking notes of his journey starting the year of 1492. This took place mostly on his voyage over the Atlantic Ocean on his way to the Indies, and also on the lands he discovers on the way to his destination. He wrote every day of his journeys as a journal to the king and queen of his discoveries.

Columbus gives the five islands different names with some being in remembrance of the Divine Majesty. When Columbus gets to Juana he follows the coast westward.

Columbus made an especially daring trip when he set sail for the Indies. He knew he was headed for some rough water, bad weather, and maybe even an unwelcoming crowd of people.

On 19 of May 1884 four men set sail from Southampton in a small yacht, already knowing the dangers of the ocean, but clueless of what a lasting

"In 1492 Columbus sailed the ocean blue." That's the one date everyone remembers, the date in virtually every school child's history textbook. But, they leave out pretty much everything about Columbus and his exploration of the New World. It's the part many people have yet to learn about. For years, Columbus has been presented to us as a hero. In 1934, President Roosevelt even gave Columbus his own holiday. To this day, we celebrate his "discovery" of America. What is found in history textbooks now, have seemed to show another side of Christopher Columbus, a side that they wouldn't dare teach in elementary school. It's the rest of Columbus' tale of "discovery". This paper will show you that Christopher Columbus

Columbus going on his last trip was the best experience he could ever have. Why it’s the best it makes him think about all what he did to reach this point of time. At the end, he was successful at reaching a new land and he colonized America. Some what you could say that Columbus is a hero or a villain but most importantly if Columbus didn’t exist we could’ve never known that America exist till this day you could not deny that that Columbus is one of the people who help shape the world.

Christopher Columbus’s life was filled with adventures and new beginnings that would leave a remarkable impression throughout history. Born in 1451 in Genoa, Columbus from an early age would become well acclimated to sailing as he began his career aboard a merchant ship and later study mathematics, astronomy, cartography, and navigation. Growing up and experiencing new thing Columbus began to come up with a plan different from all others to set sail across the Atlantic instead of going around the African continent. With his ideas being turned away from both Portugal and England it was Ferdinand and Isabella who took sympathy upon him and financial back his voyage as they both had hopes of gaining fame and fortune. In 1942, Columbus began his voyages and would carefully document each experience in the form of letters that would have a lasting impact on the world. I believe with the dramatic change in tones we see between the first and fourth letters it gives us the reader a true insight into Columbus’s mental and physical emotions over the years. Furthermore, these letters allow us to explore a part of history that is considered monumental while gaining information of what took place over a ten-year journey.

May 3rd, 1966- I have been at sea for a month now. Although the screams of my enraged city are silenced by distance, they are still here in my head. I am so far away, surrounded by nothing but blue water and skies, yet my mind and memories keep me close. I have had no connection with the outside world; I have tried only to have connection with my inside world. I often wonder how many are dead now. When I left it was around 100,000. But I have to remember, that is not why I came out here. I did not come out here to be blinded by the echoing screams in my mind of the incessant worry of my heart. I came out here to find what all of this societal insanity inhibits – peace – because only when we find peace internally may we find it and share it externally in this world.
