WHY AM I STILL STUCK HERE? I JUST WANT TO DRINK TEA AND SLEEP!
I hereby proclaim this island as San Salvador!
On August 3, 1942, my crew and I started the expedition with three ships: the Niña, the Pinta, and the Santa Maria. When I finally saw land, I assumed it was the East Indies, but it was an island that I named "San Salvador." I explored the Caribbean, searching for riches and spices.
Let's walk along now. Listen to me, because you know the consequences if you don't.
I just want food...
I wrote all my observations in my personal diary. I went on many other voyages through the Americans and Caribbean Islands. Because I thought I was in India, I referred to them as the “Indians.” I enslaved and forced them to follow my commands.
We shall obey your words, sir.
Are you being serious right now...Wait, why is it raining money?
The expedition is finally done! Hip hip hooray!
As a result of my second voyage, I started the Columbian Exchange, where goods were traded between the New World and the Old World, strengthening the economy. My explorations led to the formation of new colonies. However, because my expedition to America did carry diseases to the Native Americans, many were killed and enslaved.
