Question

Write the information about the Geographical-Discoveries and Explorers:

Christopher Columbus

Answer 1

 

1. The Ottoman forces took over Istanbul (Constantinople) in 1453. It was the capital city of the Eastern Roman (Byzantine) Empire. Europeans could no longer use the eastern sea route.
2. Because of this, they had to find another way to get to Asia.
3. Christopher Columbus was an Italian traveler who set sail in search of India with the help of King Ferdinand and Queen Isabel of Spain.
4. Since the earth is round, he was sure that if he sailed west, he would find India. He arrived in the American islands rather than India.
