    How Did Christopher Columbus Voyage Successful

    Christopher Columbus, an Italian explorer, born in the year 1451, voyaged across the Atlantic in search of a westward passage for direct trade with Asia in 1492. With burning ambitions, Columbus traveled to claim wealth and power for Spain and to convert the “pagans” of the New World to Christianity. Following in Spain’s footsteps to expand their country’s empires to the Americas, France, Portugal, and the Netherlands would send elite navigators to venture across the Atlantic Ocean in hopes to claim land and acquire power, only to soon realize a gigantic landmass blocked the western route. In addition, the English were also interested in the New World’s offers to its country; multitudes of opportunities to become rich and powerful, as well as offering an expedition that seemed promising with the abundance of information that came about from other European countries’ past voyages and various maritime technological advancements.…

    Lewis And Clark Expedition

    Imagine having to make a decision that would not only determine the fate of your own life but that of many others as well. How would you go about reaching a conclusion and how could you convince others to trust in your choice? In early June of 1805, Lewis and Clark were faced with such a problem. As the Corps of Discovery ventured up the Missouri River, they arrived at a junction of streams: one leading northwest and the other taking a turn for the south. Selecting the wrong path would have been disastrous for the party, potentially bringing the expedition to an untimely end. However, Lewis and Clark stay constant in their pursuit of the west coast and confidently decide to sail down the left-hand fork, which proves itself to be the correct…

    Christopher Columbus: Hero or Villain

    Christopher Columbus made a total of four voyages in the span of twelve years, from 1492 to 1504. His voyage was not an easy one. He asked the king and queen several times for their finances to make the trip. Christopher Columbus eventually convinced them to allow him and his crew to go because he told them that he would discover a "back door" route to the riches of Asia, India and the "spice islands" - by sailing west across the Atlantic Ocean instead of east. Christopher Columbus bought King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella gold, parrots, and spices to prove that he had actually found land. He also brought back with him the natives. While sailing back to Spain hundreds of natives died on Columbus ' three ships, the Nina, Pinta and Santa Maria. The king and queen granted him more money for his next voyage.…
