In 1492, Christopher Columbus set sail across the Atlantic Ocean in search

of the Indies. He had spent much time trying to convince King Ferdinand and Queen

Isabella of Spain to pay for the ships that would have him bringing them all of thefinest riches in India. This would be a difficult journey because Columbus would have

to sail west to reach the Indies in the east.

The King and Queen finally agreed and gave Columbus three ships, the

Nina, the Pinta, and the Santa Maria. After a difficult voyage, Columbus and his

three ships landed. Believing he had landed in India he named the native people

there Indians. Columbus actually landed on an island south of North America,

known as San Salvador. This mistake in whichhe discovered the Americas opened

th

e doors to future European exploration.
