When did Columbus discover the New World?

Christopher Columbus's discovery of the new continent was the most important navigation activity of western European navigators in the15th century. Christopher Columbus, an Italian navigator, was born in Genoa and moved to Portugal in 1476. He once proposed to the Portuguese king to sail westward and explore sea routes to East India and China, but it was not adopted.

1485 immigrated to Spain. 1492 On August 3rd, under the orders of Spanish rulers Isabel and Ferdinand, he set sail from Barros Port with three ships and 90 sailors, crossed the Atlantic Ocean, arrived in Bahamas, Cuba, Haiti and other places, and then went to the Western Ocean three times (A.D. 1493, A.D. 1498).

Process:

Columbus first mistakenly thought that the travel place of his western airline was India, so he called the local residents "Indians" (later, the west decided that Columbus first arrived in the Bahamas on the date of 65438+1October 20, which was Columbus Day when America was discovered).

From the end of 15 to the beginning of 16, the Italian Amerigo Weiss Pucci visited the coast of South America and came to the conclusion that this is not Asia, but a "new continent". Later, in the name of Amerigo, this continent was called America. After the discovery of the New World, the European population continued to immigrate to America, which set off the third climax in the history of human immigration.
