COLUMBUS

Columbus was born in Genoa, Italy. , it is estimated that Columbus was born sometime between August and October 1452

Columbus was hardworking, diligent. But luck was extremely unfavorable when it came to making money. So Columbus lived very hard. Columbus's brother then lived in Lisbon. Called by his brother, Columbus settled in the city of Lisbon. Columbus was twenty-eight years old.

Two forces were working his mind. A longing for thrilling expeditions, secondly a thirst for gold. At that time, people thought that gold and silver were scattered in the ghats on the way to the eastern countries. He has no value to the people of that country. It can be shipped by ship if desired.Columbus wrote a letter to Pagolo Toscanelli, a famous geographer of the time. 

Queen Isabella of Spain promised friendly consideration to Kallhus's request, but Emperor Ferminal refused outright. Meanwhile, Columbus's wife, Felipa, fell ill. Despite all treatments the illness became progressively more serious. Plans for the Far East campaign had to be shelved. Felipa died a few days later.

Father Peerage met Columbus one day. Father Peerage was an intimate friend of the royal family and highly respected by Queen Isabella.The Father himself told Queen Isabella of Columbus' wishes. He asked if he could be helped in any way. The queen could not refuse the father's request. With the discovery of new lands, the virtue of converting many people to Christianity can be achieved.In addition to Father Peerage, several other sympathetic men came forward to support Columbus. The emperor accepted all the requests of Columbus. On 17th April, 1492, a treaty was signed between them. Columbus would be given the rulership of the new country and a tenth of the wealth gained.Columbus got money from the emperor and built three ships. The largest is Santamaria of 100 tons, Pinta of 50 tons, Nina of 40 tons. No disturbance was observed during the construction of the ship. The problem arose when collecting sailors. The Pinzon brothers came forward to help Columbus. A total of 87 sailors were found in the efforts of some other prominent people along with them.Finally, on August 3, 1492, Columbus crossed the unknown sea with his three ships. Most of those present at the port that day thought that no one would ever return from that unknown land.

Columbus thought he had reached Asia by sea. Where endless golden grains are spread. But where is that wealth...? After searching all around for days, no sign of wealth was found. Columbus went to Cuba and the islands of Hispaniola. He decided to set up a temporary shelter here and return to Spain. After that, a large number of people will be brought to search for treasure. He built a temporary shelter in Hispaniwala. 42 sailors were accommodated there and left for the homeland. He took some local tribesmen with him as proof of his arrival at the new island.

Emperor Ferdinand organized a new campaign. On September 24, 1493, Columbus embarked on his second voyage across the Atlantic with a large fleet and many men.After a long voyage, Columbus reached Hispaniola. He went there and saw that none of his companions were alive. Some people have died due to unsanitary environment. The rest were killed by local tribals.During this second expedition, Columbus searched all around but found little sign of treasure. Just discovered some new islands. Without getting any wealth, he loaded the ship and captured the local natives as slaves and sent them to Spain. At that time, the slave trade was not widespread in Europe. Many could not wholeheartedly support this work of Columbus. Moreover, a large part of the tribals died within a short time after moving to the new environment. Isabella could not wholeheartedly support this behavior of Columbus.

On May 30, 1498, Columbus set sail for the third time. This time his companions are his son and brother. The happy days of Columbus's life were gradually fading. The native people of Hispaniola protested against the oppression of the Europeans. A mentally deranged Columbus suppressed the rebellion with the harsh hand of a tyrant. Hundreds of people were brutally killed.
