Here you go darlin have fun translating\n\n1.)Christopher Columbus (1451-1506) was an Italian explorer who sailed across the Atlantic Ocean in 1492, hoping to find a route to India (in order to trade for spices). He made a total of four trips to the Caribbean and South America during the years 1492-1504\nThe First Trip set sail on Aug. 3, 1492 from Palos, Spain, and on October 11, 1492, spotted the Caribbean islands off southeastern North America. They landed on an island they called Guanahani, but Columbus later renamed it San Salvador.\nOn a second, larger expedition (Sept. 25, 1493-June 11, 1496), sailed with 17 ships and 1,200 to 1,500 men to find gold and capture Indians as slaves in the Indies. On a third expedition (May 30, 1498-October 1500), Columbus sailed farther south, to Trinidad and Venezuela (including the mouth of the Orinoco River)On his fourth and last expedition (May 9, 1502-Nov. 7, 1504), Columbus sailed to Mexico, Honduras and Panama (in Central America) and Santiago (Jamaica). Columbus is buried in eastern Hispaniola (now called the Dominican Republic). \n\n\n\n2.)Francisco Pizarro (1478-1541) was a Spanish conquistador who traveled through much of the Pacific coast of America along Peru. He "discovered" the Incan empire and conquered it brutally and quickly, stealing immense hoards of gold, silver, and other treasures. \nPizarro landed at San Mateo Bay in 1532. After traveling through desert and snow-capped mountains, Pizarro and his men (who included Hernando de Soto) arrived at Cajamarca (in 1533), where they captured Atahuallpa, the 13th and last emperor of the Incas. Atahuallpa had just won a civil war against his half-brother (Huáscar), and had executed Huáscar and his family. Atahuallpa had invited Pizarro to a celebratory feast, thinking that the Spanish were not much of a threat. Pizarro ambushed Atahuallpa and killed thousands of his men. Atahuallpa offered a huge ransom for his own release, but Pizarro took the treasure and had Atahuallpa strangled on Aug. 29, 1533; this was the end of the Incan empire. \n\nAfter looting and generally destroying the Incan capital of Cusco, Pizarro founded Lima (which he called Ciudad de los Reyes, which means "City of the Kings"). Pizarro was assassinated in Lima, Peru, in 1541, by followers of Pedro de Almagro (Cortes' captain) who wanted to seize Lima for its riches. \n\n3.)Da Gama was born to a noble family in Sines, Portugal. Da Gama's father Estavao was also an explorer. He was to have made the sea voyage from Portugal to India that eventually made his son famous, but the elder da Gama died before completing the journey. \n\nVasco da Gama sailed from Lisbon, Portugal, on July 8, 1497, heading to the East. At the time, many people thought that da Gama's trip would be impossible because it was assumed that the Indian Ocean was not connected to any other seas. Da Gama's patron was King Manuel I of Portugal. \n\nDa Gama rounded Africa's Cape of Good Hope on November 22, and continued on to India. After many stops in Africa, and problems with Muslim traders who did not want interference in their profitable trade routes, da Gama reached Calicut, India on May 20, 1498. \n\nAt first, da Gama and his trading were well-received, but this did not last for long. Da Gama left India on August 29, 1498, after he was told to pay a large tax and leave all of his trading goods. When he left, da Gama took his goods with him, together with some Indian hostages. \n\nDa Gama returned to Lisbon, Portugal, in September, 1499. Along the way many crew members died from scurvy (a disease caused by a lack of Vitamin C). Upon his return, da Gama was treated as a hero and was rewarded by the king. \n\nKing Manuel I of Portugal then sent da Gama, now an Admiral, on another expedition to India (1502-1503). On this second trip, da Gama took 20 armed ships (anticipating problems from Muslim traders). On this voyage, da Gama killed hundreds of Musli

Travel the oceans and the seven seas.\n\nAncient Seven Seas            Modern Seven Oceans\n                            \n1. Mediterranean              1. North Atlantic\n2. Black                      2. South Atlantic\n3. Red                        3. North Pacific\n4. Persian                    4. South Pacific\n5. Caspian                    5. Indian \n6. Arabian                    6. Arctic\n7. Atlantic                   7. Antarctic\n                  I think.\n\nThere are seven notes, do is just an octaval repeat of do.\nAntarctica is not poulated in the normal sense of the word.\nSo just continents.\nAnd those are not the right seven planets. I guess you could just not count Earth but these are the ancient seven planets\n\n1. Moon       Silver   Ag       All the metals known in \n2. Mercury    Mercury  Hg       ancient times had a planet.\n3. Venus      Copper  Cu       The others couldn't be seen.\n4. Sun        Gold   Au\n5. Mars       Iron   Fe\n6. Jupiter    Tin    Sn\n7. Saturn     Lead   Pb\n\nThere are just so many groups of sevens in the world.\n\nHowever I don't think this has anything to do with a matrix.\nIt's just a nice sized odd number for things. Nit too many,not too full. Oh and the most number of things that you can have in your mind at once. VERY IMPORTANT.

Well, he discovered it for Europe, even though there were people there, they had no contacts with people other than themselves. The funny thing is, Leif Erickson, a viking, had landed in America before Christopher, but he wasn't given the credit. Amerigo Vespuchi was the first to ever make a map of America, and so for some reason America was named after him. Columbus was funded by the royal family, therefore, his dicovery was noted and the others weren't.\nHope this helps! \n\nJesus loves you! :D

Both continents of the Americas were fully populated by Native Americans in 1492.  Columbus was only the first Spaniard to find the New World.  The Vikings had settled for a short time in Newfoundland in the 11th century.

1).  "Columbus made a fourth voyage nominally in search of the Strait of Malacca to the Indian Ocean. Accompanied by his brother Bartolomeo and his 13-year-old son FERNANDO, he left Cádiz, Spain on May 11, 1502, with the ships Capitana, Gallega, Vizcaína and Santiago de Palos. "\n\n2).  "Ferdinand Columbus (Italian: Fernando Colombo, Spanish: Fernando Colón, Córdoba, Spain, 15 August? 1488 - Sevilla, Spain, 1539) was the second son of Christopher Columbus. His mother was Beatriz Enriquez de Harana, whom his father never married, but who was Columbus' constant companion in later life.\n\nFernando was born in Cordoba, and spent his early years there with his mother. After Columbus's triumphant return from his first voyage, Fernando was appointed a page to the Spanish crown prince Don Juan, but transferred to the service of Queen Isabella following the young prince's untimely death.\n\nBetween the ages of 13 and 15, Fernando was a crewmember on Columbus' fourth voyage to the New World. After his father's death, Fernando accompanied his older brother Diego to the New World in 1509 upon Diego's appointment as governor of Hispaniola. But Fernando preferred a more settled life, and returned to Spain a few months later."\n\nHope that's enough (  :

Well, first of all, back then there were no satellites or airplanes.  There was no way to know what the world "looked like" unless someone mapped it out...specific coastlines, etc.  No one person could do it all...and each of those men were important for learning new things about different parts of the world.  So...the maps were "changed" each time something new was learned.  And, the maps could be changed if someone found something new about an already existing piece of map.  It's sort of like science.  What was known about science and technology 50 years ago is very different than what we know today.  So, as a result, the science books have changed.  If you're 11, chances are the science book you have today is totally different than the one I used a million years ago.  It's the same idea with the maps back in 1492...\n\nThe following link has a listing of all the great historical explorers.  Their biographies and routes, where applicable, are included.  Each link provides even more links...so you should have enough information that it would take you all day to read everything.  Good luck!\n\nhttp://edtech.kennesaw.edu/web/explorer.html

Jesuits were generally expelled in the 19th century from Latin American missions.\n\nAs to what year was the discovery and conquest of America, this is a really poor question.  It is true that Columbus sailed the ocean blue in 1492, but the conquest took a lot longer than that.  As to the discovery, there are a lot of historical arguments that show that the Old World had met the New World on many occasions prior to Columbus.\n\nWhen were the independent wars against Spain? Well, again this depends on the country, but most were in the first 50 years of the 19th century.\n\nWhat century did the first democracies start to arise? Are you talking about democracy as we know it today, or are you talking about the roots of it in Greece?  Democracy is a conglomeration of a lot of political ideas from many countries and it comes in a lot of forms.  So it's very hard to say when it arose unless you are more specific.  Some argue that the US, in 1776, was the first "democracy."\n\nWhen did the indigenous people live in America? Well, that would be about 15,000 BC until the present.  But the 15,000 BC date is quite obscure and there are a lot of arguments for dates before and after that.

The only logical explanation is that people other than the Europeans had already discovered the lands and fed the information upon which the de Virga world map was based.\n\nThere is a book, titled 1421, authored by Gavin Menzies. He argues for the proposition that the Chinese had been exploring the world -- and had discovered North America -- long before the Europeans did. His website is: www.1421.tv.

It is very cool that in our modern day world there are still parts of the are is still unexopled with many undiscovred plants and animals. I reminds me alot of Sir Colon Doyle's lost world. This must have how it been when europeans founded the amazon and reported back to europe.  I just hope they keep it nice and not let to many people go into it and explore it. Because if they they will probably destroy it or deminishing it's beauty and that would be a crying shame. I will cross my finger and watch joyfully to new developments.  With bad news around every bend it is good to hear something that will uplift my spirts.

Read a book called Guns, Germs, and Steel or get it on video if you're lazy.  Basically the author of this book explains how geographic and climactic factors favored agriculture in Europe as their society evolved, this gave them a head start towards modern society.  Africa's climate continues to be less favorable for agriculture and industry.  And in many places their social structure remains focused on survival rather than "progress".  Thats not the whole story, but its a big piece of the puzzle.

technically Amerigo vespucci (more than likely spelled wrong) was here before columbus. if one wants to be exact...native americans were already here. = )

God, Gold and Glory sum up the Age of Discovery which begins in the 15th!!!! Century  (seriously.  Remember Christopher Columbus? The guy that set out for Asia but actually only made it to the West Indies? During the 15th Century?)\n\nGod - to spread Christianity to what they believed were 'pagan' nations of Muslims, \nGold - they wanted money from silk and spice trades and \nGlory - they wanted to become famous.

If you read history you know Spain had a queen when Columbus sailed the blue in 1492.  They also had Counts but the noacounts went with Columbus.  So, there you have it in a nutty shell.  Social class in Spainland.  For more information ask a Spainperson.  One of my friends is from Spain, taught Spanish in high school until retiring last year and he had lots of class.
