CHRISTOPHER COLUMBUS (about 1441-1506) rao tia ee Christopher Columbus was a famous Italian explorer. When he was a little boy, he used to listen to sailors’ stories about different places around the world. When Columbus himself became a sailor, he studied sailors maps. While he was studying these maps, he began to think that he could find a quicker route to India by sailing west. So, he asked the King and Queen of Spain to give him some money and ships. At first they didn't help him because Spain was in the middle of ‘a war, Later, however, they gave him three ships and Columbus started his journey across the Atlantic Ocean on 3 August 1492. On 42 October, he reached a small island in the Bahanas. He continued sailing west and he reached the island of Cuba before he retumed to Spain. He ‘thought he was in India, that's why he ealled these islands the West Indies. He travelled to America two more times, but he never actually reached India. Answer the following questions. 11 Where was Columbus from? 2 Why did he decide to sail west? 3 When did Columbus start his Journey across the Atlantic Ocean? 4 Did Columbus get to India in the end?
