Christopher Columbus- The great voyageur

There was a man by the name of Christopher Columbus, who went down in history for starting the discovery of a new world. He had no plans for finding this new land. His goal was to find a quicker way to Asia for trade in which he would make pure profit. Christopher Columbus had great success, but also many failures. He was most successful as an explorer. He was probably the best navigator this world has ever seen. He navigated without modern instruments and no real substantial maps to know where he was going. Columbus was mocked and made fun of. People said he would die trying to find a quicker way to Asia. To finance his trip, he went to three world powers. They all declined, but he finally persuaded Spain to finance his voyage. To everyone’s dismay he proved himself a great talented voyager.
