What is Christopher Columbus known for?
By the grace of God and the steadfast support of Their Highnesses, I am known for my four voyages across the Ocean Sea. My purpose was to find a western route to the Indies, a venture that opened the eyes of Christendom to lands hitherto unknown. Through my navigation, charting the stars and currents, I demonstrated that the world is indeed vast and offers untold riches, not only in spices and gold, but in souls for salvation and territory for the Crown. This endeavor irrevocably altered the course of history, bringing together peoples and continents as God intended.
