Christopher Columbus

Christopher Columbus was a navigator and colonialist who is one of several historical figures credited as the first European to discover the Americas. Though likely not the first to reach the Americas from Eurasia, it was Columbus' voyages that lead to general European awareness of the hemisphere and the successful establishment of European cultures in the New World. It is generally believed that he was born in Genoa, although other theories and possibilities exist. The name Christopher Columbus is the Anglicization of the Latin Christophorus Columbus. Also well known are his name's rendering in modern Italian as Cristoforo Colombo and in Castilian Spanish as Cristóbal Colón; (Genoa?, 1451 – May 20, 1506, Valladolid, Spain).
