Columbus Day

Christopher Columbus 

Christopher Columbus was born in the Republic of Genoa. He was born in 1451. Christopher went to sea as a teenager participating in trading voyages. He was a Genoese explorer, navigator, and colonizer. Columbus completed 4 voyages across the Atlantic Ocean. His first voyage to the "New World" was in 1492. He was determined to find a direct water route from Europe to Asia, but he never did. Instead he stumbled into the Americas. Columbus discovered the "New World" of the Americas. Some states till this day celebrate Columbus Day because it was an important discovery. 

                                        

Reflection: 

I think this was an important day in history because he discovered the "New World". He was determine to find something else but instead he found the Americas. I think this is an important day to celebrate but we don't celebrate it anymore. I think Columbus did good in going to voyages because he discovered something new in the world that wasn't expected to be discovered.
