Christopher Columbus was born in Genoe, now known as Italy, in 1451. His father, Domenico Colombo, was a poor weaver. Columbus had three brothers and one sister. Although, very little is known about Columbus’ childhood, it is apparent that he was well-educated as he was able to speak several languages and had knowledge in classical literature.Columbus’ third voyage took more of a southern route, as he was looking for China. He came across Trinidad and Tobago, Margarita, and Grenada in July 31st, 1498. He then sailed back to Hispaniola only to find that his colony was in shambles. In 1500, Columbus was arrested and sent back to Spain where he was able to defend himself against the charges of treating Spaniards and locals poorly.
