    Introduction

    Christopher Columbus was an Italian navigator and adventurer who was born in the Republic of Genoa between August 25 and October 31, 1451. He made four remarkable journeys across the Atlantic Ocean under the patronage of the Catholic Monarchs, Queen Isabella I and King Ferdinand II of Spain. These journeys marked the beginning of European contact with the Caribbean, Central America, and South America. The Latin Christophorus Columbus is the source of the English name Christopher Columbus. Columbus, who grew up on the coast of Ligurian, went to sea at an early age and made several trips from the British Isles to what is now Ghana. After being married to Filipa Moniz Perestrelo, he had Diego, a son. Columbus was primarily self-taught and had a solid understanding of history, astronomy, and geography. He sought to make money from the spice trade and was driven by a scheme to discover a western sea passage to the East Indies.
