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. No offense I just always thought that was such a silly point to hang onto when Columbus was such a thoroughly odious man and there are PLENTY of other things to criticise about him and his mythos, rather than getting hung up on the semantics of the word "discover"....

    I bet not many Americans know that their country was named after a Florentine sailor, who felt compelled, for whatever reason, to diverge into real estate/frontier promotion. And I'm guessing pamphlets weren't cheap in the 1400's, so it's more than likely he was advertising the 'new world' in the aim of a profitable outcome.

    Columbus was not Italian. He was Catalan. He came from a prominent merchant family from Barcelona and his brother was president of the community of Barcelona. You won't find a scrap of paper of his written in italian, only in perfect Spanish. Last name: Colom. There is a statue of Colombus in Barcelona. The Catalans were outstanding merchants and sailors in the middle ages with small colonies and outposts scattered across the Mediterranean.

      @pmcgowanp i think it was because of his flaws that he did it, not inspite of it.
      Infact I think every hero or every successful person, every revolutionary leader etc etc has their own issues that push them to do something crazy, because they're just never happy with everyday life.
      Mr Columbus was a megalomaniac, hungry for power titles and glory. Doesn't seem like he was a very good dad to his son and he lied and tricked his king so that they'd paid him to find gold etc. He wasn't a nice guy you'd want to be your friend.
      But thats just how he was unfortunately, for better or for worse. It's what drove him even if he never achieved what he wanted which was to get Spain trading with Asia. And he died poor in the end too.
      It's the well adjusted, temperate individuals that live nice lives that people don't really remember but in the long run its better to be like that and pass on alot more to your children and be remembered for the right reasons or just not be remembered by the general public at all. That's cool too.

      @@user-qs7gx7rp7m 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.

      Because of his so called "exploration" the spread of Old World diseases, including smallpox, influenza, and typhus, led to the deaths of many indigenous inhabitants of the New World. Contrary to popular belief, the conquistadors were not trained warriors, but mostly artisans seeking an opportunity to advance their wealth and fame. After some newfound wealth, the division of the booty produced bloody conflicts, such as the one between Pizarro and De Almagro...............Ain't one of my favorites

    Nevertheless, Columbus became famous for his discoveries. Specifically, the discovery you can discover a continent with millions of people already living on it. And that also was visited by Vikings 500 years earlier. But the truth is he never discovered anything. He was lost and ventured himself in central and south America. He thought he was in India.
    Giving this monster a federal holiday is insane. In fact, many US cities and states no longer recognize Columbus Day. Raising the question, why do the rest of us still do it? Sure, it is a chance for Italians to celebrate their heritage, but there are so many other heroes they could celebrate. Why not Frank Sinatra Day? He killed no native Americans that we know of. Or Al Pacino Day, a day that will probably start well but end as an overblown parody of itself. So, as we approach America's least favorite holiday, it commemorates a murderous egomaniac whose most famous discovery was a case of getting lost and refusing to ask for directions.

    For only the second time, I have to say, I’m quite disappointed.
    You completely glossed over that he made slaves of many of the natives he came across, and while you did sort of just drift over it, he was deeply disrespected by the people of his own time. He was a skilled navigator and captain, yes, he was also an incredibly greedy man, a notorious liar, and the worst kind of ambitious.
    And let’s face it, in his primary goal he was also a failure.

      @@CrashLoveless Insofar as if those practices were somehow uncommon at the time, no, they are not remarkable. That doesn't make them irrelevant, just common place and, therefore, unremarkable from an historical point of view. If the video's goal was to highlight remarkable facts of Columbus' life, then it largely succeeded. There's tons of facts it doesn't address, but, as I said, that's largely because of the short time devoted to the subject. Personally, I would enjoy watching a longer, more comprehensive video on Columbus covering his deeds and misdeeds.

      To my understanding the only natives he sent to Spain to be slaves were from the Carib tribe that the Arawaks were fighting against due to them being cannibals. It’s also worth noting that he intended for that to be a temporary process when looking at the writings of the primary sources like Peter Martyr, Columbus’s journals, and his son’s autobiography of him.
