1 Christopher
Columbus was born in Italy,
but lived in Spain.
In fact, he didn't set out in search of new continents and he never realized
that he had found any. But his historic landing on an island in the Bahamas in
1492 was a turning point in the world history .Columbus was the first fairly
well-known travelers crossed the Atlantic Ocean in the subtropical and tropical
zone of the northern hemisphere and the first European to walk in the
Caribbean. He laid the foundation for the study of South and Central
America. He opened all the Greater Antilles - a central part of
the Bahamas, Lesser Antilles (from Dominica to the Virgin Islands, inclusive),
as well as several smaller islands in the Caribbean Sea and the island of
Trinidad off the coast of South America .Data of Birth:
