Christopher Columbus, born in 1451 in Genoa, Italy, was a renowned explorer. He believed that the Earth was round and that by sailing west, he could reach Asia. In 1492, he received funding from the Spanish monarchy and embarked on his voyage. Between 1492 and 1502, he made four voyages to the Americas, discovering the New World and profoundly impacting world history. more
