Meer over het boek

The life of Christopher Columbus, an Italian explorer, is marked by his four significant voyages across the Atlantic, which initiated European exploration and colonization of the Americas. Sponsored by Spain's Catholic Monarchs, his expeditions led to the first European encounters with the Caribbean and parts of Central and South America. Columbus's early maritime experiences and extensive travels laid the groundwork for transformative global interactions, reshaping demographics, commerce, and politics, and establishing lasting connections between the hemispheres.
