Columbus day.

Today in class we got our test back on god grew tired of us. Then we begun talking about Columbus day and Christopher Columbus. I learned that he was aiming to get to India when he collided with another land mass. He figured he was in India but he actually had just discovered America. however, when he arrived he saw a lot of people. It is now known that nearly 50 million people were already settled in Americas when Christopher found it. He completed 4 voyages across the Atlantic ocean which lead him to the discovery  of the Americas. Many other tribes like the vikings and others had already been to the Americas. The Britians believed they were Superior to all other nations at that time because they had been able to locate a new region they were able to settle in. After this his next journey was to go to Asia. the route to Asia however was very long and tough which made the quest for Columbus even more challenging.
