is a pleasure to greet the American continent in a day of discovery, today October 12 , 515 years ago.
I'm proud to be part of a continent rich in history very divergent from each other. With many people very good and valuable for the world which each day brings more on the progress of humanity. It is thus pay tribute to who discovered this wonderful country and for better or worse perhaps for some, whatever we are heirs to a race itself, which had not been stepped on by this man Christopher Columbus, America today would not be America.
This week feels proud to be part of the great American continent.
Here's something more to know the Discovery of America * :
discovery of the Americas The term is commonly used to refer to the arrival in America of a group of English who, representing the Catholic Monarchs of Castilla and Aragón , departed from the port of Palos de la Frontera , led by Christopher Columbus , and arrived Monday October 12 1492 of an island in the Caribbean called Guanahani . This is one of the highlights of world history because it marked the encounter of two worlds that humans had evolved independently, and none knew the other's existence. Christopher Columbus thought he had reached Asia , called by Europeans Indies and died without knowing he had come to an unknown continent by Europeans.
At the time of exploration one of the most momentous for mankind was the discovery of the Americas . The voyages of the Portuguese in India following African coast meant a stimulus to those who believed the path to the west as the shortest way to reach Asia . Columbus was in favor of this hypothesis. Supported by the English monarchy organized a journey of exploration that led to the discovery of America in 1492.
