In the fifteenth century people knew only three conti­nents: Europe, Asia and Africa. They knew nothing about such a big continent as America.
The man who was thought to be the discoverer of America was born in 1451 in Italy. His name was Chris­topher Columbus. He probably worked as a weaver be­fore going to sea.
At that time the life of a sailor was full of adventure and danger, so Columbus had many exciting experienc­es. Once during a battle with a vessel off the coast of Por­tugal, he had to leave his boat and swim to the shore a long distance away. He afterwards lived in Portugal a number of years, and while there, he married the daugh­ter of a sea captain. For some time he earned his living, partly by making sea voyages, and partly by drawing maps and selling them.
Knowing that the earth was round, he decided to reach India by sailing to the west. It was very difficult for him to organise his expedition as nobody wanted to help him. Many years after, the Spanish government gave him some money for his expedition.
In 1492 he sailed with three small ships into the At­lantic Ocean. They had been sailing for more than two months. At last they saw land.
When they landed they saw strange trees and flow­ers. Men and women with olive coloured skins gathered around them and looked at them with great surprise.
Columbus was certain that the lands he discovered were part of India, and he called these islands the West Indies. The people living there have been called Indians since then, though they have nothing in common with the real Indians — inhabitants of India.
His last voyage was made in 1502-1504. After that, seriously ill, he remained in Spain-until his death. He died believing that Cuba was part of Asia.

В пятнадцатом веке люди знали только трех континентов: Европы, Азии и Африки. Они ничего не знали о такой большой континент как Америка.Человек, который считался Первооткрыватель Америки родился в 1451 году в Италии. Его имя был Христофор Колумб. Он, вероятно, работал как ткачом перед выходом к морю.В то время жизни моряка был полон приключений и опасности, поэтому Колумб было много захватывающих experiencees. Однажды во время битвы с судна у берегов Португалии, он должен был оставить свою лодку и плыть к берегу на большие расстояния прочь. Он потом жил в Португалии несколько лет, и пока там, он женился на дочери капитана. Некоторое время он заработал его жизни, частично путем морских путешествий и частично путем рисования карт и продавать их.Зная, что Земля круглая, он решил достичь Индии, плывя на запад. Это было очень трудно для него, чтобы организовать свою экспедицию как никто не хотел, чтобы помочь ему. Через много лет после испанского правительства дал ему немного денег для своей экспедиции.В 1492 году он плавал с трех небольших кораблей в Атлантический океан. Они были парусные для более двух месяцев. Наконец они увидели землю.Когда они приземлились они видели странные деревья и цветы. Мужчины и женщины с оливковым цветом шкуры вокруг них и с большим удивлением смотрел на них.Columbus was certain that the lands he discovered were part of India, and he called these islands the West Indies. The people living there have been called Indians since then, though they have nothing in common with the real Indians — inhabitants of India.His last voyage was made in 1502-1504.
