This is a scanned image of a map of how small Coloumbus thought the world was. Of course Columbous was tens of thousand miles off.


I feel bad for the king of queen Ferdinand and Isabella for striking a deel with the con man Columbus. Also how Spain was so close to finding the real Asia.

I wonder how the acting governor, a women whom Columbus loved felt when he died.


This is a scanned image of the Caribbean Region where Colombus went from island to island in search of riches to prove he was in Asia.


This is a blob map of the Caribbean Region that Columbus found. I think the Columbus was an ignorant cheap salesman that should have double checked his math. This makes me mad.

I wonder if Colombus actually took natives back with him to show to the Queen and see if they could learn.

AND I thought Morning Girl's reaction to Columbus and his crew was funny though she was right to be tentative.

I wonder what she told her tribe or what happend to her next?

An impact that Columbus had on the World was that people used to call Native Americans Indians. This was a result of him thinking that he was in India.

I wonder why the Native Americans didn't flee from columbus and his crew.


I think that Columbus took A LOT more than he ever gave.

I wonder if Columbus a snooty person face to face?


This is an image of the begining of Columbus's journey from Palos to the Canaries. It was a long trip, 9 days, with little wind to sail them along. Later in the trip they lost the nina from the pinta and sincce Colombus got back first he got all the crdit. In the end it was a long and strenous trip.

I wonder who the people of the Canaries are?
