Cristóbal Colón nació<br />
en Génova (Italia) en<br />
1451. Sus padres fueron<br />
Doménico Colombo y<br />
Susana Fontanarrosa.<br />
En su juventud sintió<br />
afición por la vida<br />
marina y trabajó en la<br />
navegación mercante<br />
en el Mar Mediterráneo.<br />
En 1476 llegó al<br />
Portugal donde se casó con<br />
Felipa Muñiz y tuvo un<br />
hijo llamado Diego.<br />
En Portugal se incorporó a<br />
diversas expediciones por<br />
las costas occidentales de<br />
África. Por esos años concibió<br />
el proyecto de buscar una ruta<br />
marítima hacia la China y la India<br />
cruzando el Océano Atlántico,<br />
creyendo que era un "mar estrecho".<br />
Al no conseguir apoyo del rey Juan II de<br />
Portugal, se marchó a España. Al llegar a<br />
Córdoba conoció a Beatriz Enríquez de Arana, quien le<br />
dio un segundo hijo, Bartolomé.<br />
En 1492 consiguió la ayuda de la reina Isabel de Castilla.<br />
Después de firmar la Capitulación de Santa Fe<br />
(17 de abril de 1492) organizó su expedición en busca del<br />
Lejano Oriente navegando por Occidente. En su primer<br />
viaje llegó a la isla Guanahaní (12 de octubre de 1492)<br />
y la llamó San Salvador, exploró la isla de Cuba a la<br />
que nombró Juana, y llegó a la isla de Santo Domingo<br />
a la que bautizó como La Española. Retornó a España<br />
creyendo haber llegado a islas cercanas al continente<br />
asiático. Colón hizo tres expediciones más: en su<br />
segundo viaje exploró las Pequeñas Antillas, Puerto<br />
Rico y Jamaica; en el tercero descubrió la isla Trinidad y<br />
la desembocadura del río Orinoco; en el cuarto conoció<br />
las costas de América Central. Hasta el fin de sus días<br />
Cristóbal Colón insistió en haber llegado a tierras del<br />
continente asiático.<br />
Murió en Valladolid el 20 de mayo de 1506, sin saber<br />
que había iniciado el Descubrimiento de América.<br />

Christopher Columbus was born in Genoa (Italy) in<br />
1451. His parents were Domenico Colombo and Susanna<br />
Fontanarrosa. In his youth he felt passion for marine life<br />
and worked in the merchant shipping in the<br />
Mediterranean Sea.<br />
In 1476 he came to Portugal where he married Felipa<br />
Muñiz and had a son named Diego. In Portugal he<br />
joined several expeditions to the west coast of Africa.<br />
By that time he conceived the project of finding a sea<br />
route to China and India across the Atlantic Ocean,<br />
believing it was a "narrow sea". By failing to receive<br />
support from King John II of Portugal, he went to Spain.<br />
Arriving in Cordoba he met Beatriz, who gave him a<br />
second son, Bartholomew. In 1492 he enlisted the help of<br />
Queen Isabel of Castile. After signing the capitulation<br />
of Santa Fe (17 April 1492) he organized his expedition<br />
in search of the Far East by sailing West. On his first trip<br />
he came to the island Guanahani (October 12, 1492)<br />
and named San Salvador, explored the island of Cuba<br />
which he named Juana, and reached the island of<br />
Santo Domingo to which he dubbed the Spanish.<br />
He returned to Spain believing he arrived to islands<br />
near the Asian continent. Columbus made three<br />
expeditions on his second voyage he explored the Lesser<br />
Antilles, Puerto Rico and Jamaica; in the third he<br />
discovered the island of Trinidad and the mouth of the<br />
Orinoco River; in the fourth he met the coasts of Central<br />
America. Until the end of his days Columbus insisted<br />
on having reached lands of Asia.<br />
He died in Valladolid on May 20, 1506, unaware that<br />
he had initiated the Discovery of America.<br />
