For several centuries, the sailors told of a distant land, where you can sail the ocean from Europe to the west. Its northern coast sailed up the Scandinavian sailors, known as Vikings, in the days when we ruled in the first Piast. Not forgotten about it now, but experienced sailors thought that they are very coveted India. They reasoned as follows: if the Earth is round, then sailed west, you will eventually get to them, (Vasco da Gama led to the East, and Africa came flowing to India.) The concept not only makes sense provided that the road is a huge continent that is America today. India wanted to sail across the Atlantic Ocean Italy's Christopher Columbus (1451-1506). After studying a number of plans, maps, descriptions, and letters he ascertained in the belief that the trip will not last long. Almost 10 years to seek a guardian lost expedition. King of the Portuguese did not want him to be, but after some hesitation, three warships staged the rulers of Spain. Spain's Queen Isabella Kastylińska funded expedition gave Columbus and the disposal of three small ships, expecting for himself the enormous material benefits. On 3 August 1492, this small fleet set sail under the command of Columbus to the Spanish port of Polos and after 70 days of sailing on Oct. 12 reached the shore. This land was the island of San Salvador (the Savior) in the Bahamas. Continue the journey led them to the islands in front of the American continent - Cuba and Haiti. Columbus was convinced he had reached India, but could not find here or more of gold, or roots. Columbus' second expedition, consisting of 17 vessels already has traveled to the mainland of North America, the third - to the South. Thus, during three consecutive trips Columbus discovered the greater part of Cuba, which he considered China, brushed the coast of the South American continent. which he thought is the boundary of earthly paradise, and finally examined the section of the Central Coast. Columbus died in 1506, convinced he had reached Asia. In 1499 years Florentine Amerigo Vespucci set out from Spain on a journey that took him to the mouth of the Amazon. He also believed that dodarł to Asia, but years later he claimed that he had discovered a new world. A German writer in the proof of the respect granted to this new world his name - AMERICA. Everything, however, was far from clear, and the new lands beyond the sea attracted explorers who hoped to find a vast wealth. Europeans in the sixteenth century, your continent and known parts of Asia and Africa called the Old World, and the lands discovered during expeditions - New.
