Christopher Columbus's Exploration
Impacts
Causes
What would you do differently if you were in the place of Christopher Columbus? Eg. Use a different tool, take a different route etc.
Rodrigo- To find gold
Nandhika- He set of because the route to Asia was very dangerous, so he wanted to sail in the west direction to find a shorter route and safer route.
Nishanth- wanted to find riches, spices from India and China
Columbus wanted to prove that the earth was round.
Armaan- Columbus discovered a new island called it San Salvador. From there he brought Pineapples, tobacco, turkey and parrots back to spain.
Shreeya- He found very little gold, which made him go on further explorations.
Nandhika- He exagerated the amount of gold found, he enslaved the natives
Sivanka- Found another island- called it Dominica
Nishanth- He started slavery trade. He started enslaving the natives and made them search for gold, but they didn't find enough so he tortured them and made them give all their gold.
Nandhika- He left 39 men on the island to start a settlement.He also took the slaves to spain and sold them there. Slave trade started.
Shreeya- I would have made friends with the native people, explored the island together and started a trade of things that they had and things that were found in Spain, so that it was a fare trade. Use a compass
Rodrigo- I would not have slaved the people. Map inside the compass will act like a gps and show the way.
Sivanka- I would not take the natives' stuff. I would have tried to help them.
Vivaan- I would not have started slave trade.
Armaan- I would have used some tools to fix my ship.I would have spread a word about my discovery.
Janisha- I would have made friends with the native people,
Nandhika- I could have started a fair trade, I would not have lied about the amount of gold found, started a trade between America and Europe. Instead of hiding the map of the route, I would have published it so others could know the route to America.
Armaan- I would use GPS to find my way- first I would have invented GPS
Nandhika- Use a map put inside a compass- that would act something like a GPS.
His explorations did help in proving the earth is round later
Nandhika- I would have taken the land route to reach asia.
