What do you remember about the discover of America.

The history of the discovering of America is rather amazing. These events took place at the end of the 15th century due to the rapid development of navigation and shipping in Europe. The discovery of the American continent happened quite by accident and the motives were very commonplace - the search for gold, wealth, large trading cities. Discovering new lands and islands, Columbus did not imagine that this was another continent, which would later be called the "New World". Traveler embarked on four expeditions. He came to new and new lands, considering that this is the land of "Western India". For a long time everyone in Europe thought so.
