He was a seaman and made many sea voyages. In 1492 the king and the queen of Spain gave him money to go to India. He decided to sail West as he was sure that our planet is round. And after sailing 4000 miles - 6400 km he reached some land. Columbus thought that it must be India. But it was not. It was a new land - a new continent. It was America - Central America, in fact.
