анонимChristopher Columbus, who was in the service of the Spanish king, made the expedition in order to find the Western route to India. Three ships — \"Santa Maria\",\"Nenya\" and \"Pinta\" — sailed West in 1492. Their journey across the ocean lasted 33 days and was very hard. The sailors were desperate. They did not believe in the existence of land on the other side of the Atlantic. But suddenly the watcher from the ship cried out, \"Land!»Columbus was sure that he had reached the shores of rich and mysterious India. The native people, met by them, with reddish skin were called Indians and the Islands were named the West Indies. Now they are known as the Bahamas and the Antilles. Columbus died with no doubt that he had opened the Western way to India.
