Everybody knows that Christopher Columbus, Cristobal Colon, discovered America in 1482.
00:00:00
We will talk about how this happened and what happened afterwards.
00:00:16
Columbus was an Italian sailor and explorer, and he thought the Earth was round.
00:00:23
he wanted to go to India but traveling westwards at that time most of the
00:00:29
people believed that the earth was flat so when he asked the monarch of
00:00:38
Portugal for money to start his trip they said no sorry you can't go to India
00:00:44
sailing to the West. When Portugal rejected his expedition, Columbus asked
00:00:52
the Spanish monarchs, the Catholic monarchs. Although Fernando was not very
00:01:00
convinced, Isabel liked the idea, so Catholic monarchs gave Columbus
00:01:05
everything he needed to start the trip. On the 1st of August of 1492 Columbus
00:01:10
left Vuelva. He arrived to the new continent on the 12th of October. He traveled with three
00:01:20
caravans called La Niña, La Pinta and the Santa María. When the Spaniards landed in
00:01:27
America, they found a different group of people living there. The main civilizations were
00:01:40
the Mayas, who were organized in independent cities. Each city had a leader. They believed
00:01:47
in more than one god. They were very good at mathematics and astronomy. The Aztecs had an
00:01:54
emperor and they also believed in different gods. Incas believed in gods like the moon god
00:02:00
and the sun god and they believed their emperor was the son of the sun god. Columbus' first trip
00:02:07
to America de España wanted to conquer the whole territory. Hernán Cortés conquered the Aztec
00:02:14
Empire and the Maya cities between the years 1519 and 1521, and Francisco Pizarro conquered
00:02:22
the Incas Empire in 1533.
00:02:33
When Spain conquered most of the American continent, became the most powerful empire
00:02:50
Europe and trade increases because Spaniards brought horses and coffee to
00:02:56
America and they took potatoes, tomato, cocoa, gold and silver from the new
00:03:03
continent and they brought them to Spain. Spaniards also brought to America the
00:03:10
Spanish language and the Christian religion.
