Both times he believed he reached the shores of India
Explanation:
- He departed on the first journey from the port of Palos on August 3, 1492 with three caravel. The crew of the ships consisted of just over a hundred people. Columbus was the captain of the ship Santa Maria. Before embarking on the voyage of the unknown Atlantic Ocean on September 6, they landed in the Canary Islands to get supplies. Navigating the vast and unknown ocean was long and painful. The crews of all three ships were often desperate not to see the land yet, and once rebelled. Columbus was successfully settled by internal problems and on October 12, 1492, a sailor named Rodrigo de Triana saw the land. They disembarked to the Bahamas, which the Indians called Guanaja.
- Columbus named the island San Salvador - Holy Savior. Thinking he had arrived on islands near India, he called the locals Indians. On a quiet Christmas night when Columbus was resting on Hispaniola, the Santa Maria ship stranded on a sand bar and broke. The crew rescued the cargo and from the boards and beams of the injured ship erected a fort and named it "La Navidad". There are 39 people left in the fort, and Columbus returns to Spain on January 16, 1493 with the remaining two ships.
- Columbus made its last, fourth voyage on May 9, 1502, passing Martinique in June. When he reached the shores of present-day Honduras, he headed south in search of passage west.
- When he did not find the gold and started losing one by one, he decided to go to Jamaica when his ship stranded. Columbus sends several people on one boat to seek help at Hispaniola. Assistance from two ships arrives on June 25, 1504.
- The storms, however, destroyed two ships and severely damaged the other two. All this did not stop him from continuing his journey, so he discovered the coasts of Central America, Honduras, Costa Rica and Panama as well as Martinique.
- He leaves for Spain on September 12, where he arrives on November 7, tired and ill. Towards the end of his life, he requested, on the basis of previously concluded contracts, that the Spanish crown should pay him ten percent of the profits made in the newly discovered countries, which was refused.
- Columbus died in Valladolid on May 20, 1506 as a very rich man. He died convinced that he had found a second path to Asia not knowing that he had discovered a new continent.
