Christopher Columbus
Christopher Columbus (1451 –
May 20,
1506) was a
navigator,
colonizer and one of the first Europeans to explore the Americas after the
Vikings. Though not the first to reach the Americas from Europe, Columbus' voyages led to general European awareness of the hemisphere and the successful establishment of European cultures in the
New World. It is generally believed that he was born in
Genoa, although other theories exist. The name Christopher Columbus is the Anglicization of the
Latin Christophorus Columbus. Also well known are his name's rendering in modern
Italian as Cristoforo Colombo and in
Spanish as Cristóbal Colón.
