History of America. //Columbus



2.5hours


Righr now I'm reading story about the Columbus's voyage.


Columbus and his men set sail for Asia. They sled and sail

for two months, so long they thought they were lost.

They had only three ships : the Nina, the Pinta, and the Santa Maria.

The sailors were just about to make Columbus turn back when they

saw an island. They thought this was near India. That's why they gave

the natives of America the wrong name. They called them Indians.

Descendants of these natives of America still call themselves Indians,

but they are also called Native Americans. Columbus and his men

had upon a new world. That was in the year 1492.
