NAME:
Christopher Columbus left Spain on August 3, 1492, in the service of the Spanish Crown, in an expedition with three vessels: the caravels Pinta, Niña and the ship Santa Maria. The mission's objective was to find a new sea route to the Indies. On October 12, the ships arrived on the island of San Salvador in the Bahamas, thus discovering America. The natives that Columbus encountered were peaceful and friendly.
Columbus explored the Caribbean and landed on the island of Cuba on October 28th and on the island of São Domingos on December 5th, where he left 39 men before returning to Europe, founding the village of La Navidad, thus establishing the first colony of America.
