Niña, Pinta and Santa Maria were not the correct (original) names of the ships when Columbus got them for his voyage in 1492. In Columbus' time it was the custom in Spain to name ships after saints and to call them by nicknames instead. The original name of La Niña has been 'Santa Clara', the original name of the Santa Maria has been 'La Gallega'- the original name of the Pinta unfortunately is unknown. The Niña: Has been Columbus' favorite ship and has been involved in 3 of his voyages (1492, 1493, 1498) and according to documents apparently got sold in 1499- in 1501 she made a trading voyage to Venezuela which has been the last glimpse of her. The Pinta: After having returned to Spain from the first voyage she simply vanished, not one record has been found of her fate.

Of course the people who lived there discovered the land first. But from the point of view of the Old World he was making discoveries, since he found a place no one in the Old World (his audience, for want of a better word) knew existed.

Quite simple: Back then, there has not been a common italian language like we know it today- just an array of different dialectical types of 'vulgar latin'. Aside: He DID write some notes/comments/sidemarks in 'italian' into books that he's been reading/studying back in his days, but mostly he used the spanish language. Those 'alternative facts' that he's really been portuguese are BS alltogether, wishful thinking at best. In the end it does not really matter that much anyways, where he originated from, because: Whatever he did, whatever he's achieved- he did it for the Kingdom of Spain. Por Castilla y por Leon.

No one claims that Columbus discovered it for the whole human race. For example: even though they weren't scientifically advanced enough yet to do so, imagine if a Taino explorer had reached Ireland. Obviously, he wouldn't be "discovering" it as far as the Irish were concerned. But he definitely would have been the first Amerindian to find it. This is the situation with Columbus: he most definitely did discover South America for the Europeans. Hope this helps!

[@alanhindmarch4483]

Columbus was not Italian. It has been proven that he couldn’t even speak Italian. He was Portuguese, that is fact due to all the Lands he Named after Places in Portugal, where he was born.

[@DevinSheaProductions]

Correct. One of his parents was nobility. He also didn’t discover North or South America.

[@alanhindmarch4483]

@@MichaelLeBlanc-p4f so because you claim, most Italians didn’t speak Italian 😒 till 1800, so what language did they speak? Where did you get that idea from that most Italians did speak Italian till the 19th Century? So because you think he didn’t speak Italian you would still claim he was Italian? The Italian language first started to diverge from Latin in the 5th century after the fall of the Roman Empire. However, this was a slow process! It wasn't until around the 10th century that texts were written in the Italian language, gradually becoming more popular through the use of Italian in literature and poetry. The language that came to be thought of as Italian developed in central Tuscany and was first formalized in the early 14th century through the works of Tuscan writer Dante Alighieri, written in his native Florentine.

He was born in Genova, Italia. Therefore, he was Italian...

[@alanhindmarch4483]

@@captnwinkle there is no historical proof he was born in Genova. There is more evidence of him being born in Portugal.

It was unknown to the European world he was from. Can you get that through your thick woke skull?

Came here to say the same thing. Columbus did not "discover" the Caribbean. He may have been one of the first Europeans there, but he absolutely was not the first person.

Please remember the Europeans didn't discover any land ! Those lands were already occupied by other people !

Why do you say this? This is a slander to all of the good European Men who tirelessly created the civilizations which allowed those peoples you speak of to end their miserable existences of constant famine, war, and death.
