His voyages to the Americas began a European effort at exploration and colonization of the continent. While history places great significance on his first voyage of 1492, he did not actually reach the mainland until his third voyage in 1498.

The destination was North America... are you asking about the point of origin?

About 1530, Nuño Beltrán de Guzmán (President of New Spain) was told by an Indian slave of the Seven Cities of Cibola that had streets paved with gold and silver. About the same time, Hernán Cortés was attracted by stories of Ciguatan, a wonderful country far to the northwest, populated by Amazonish women and abounding with gold, pearls, and gems. The Spaniards conjectured that these places may be one and the same.\n\nAn expedition in 1533 discovered a bay, most likely that of La Paz, before experiencing difficulties and returning. Cortés accompanied expeditions in 1534 and 1535 without finding the sought-after city.\n\nOn May 3, 1535, Cortés claimed "Santa Cruz Island" (now known as the peninsula of Baja California), and laid out and founded the city that was to become LaPaz later that spring.\n\nSee in\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/California_history

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.

Consider the date.  Columbus is attributed as the discoverer of America.  It was not determined to be America until after his death well after 1500.  I doubt there are too many maps in the time period you are requesting.  The second link below is a picture of a mid 1500's map from Spain.\n\nAn exception, however, is the Vinland map thought to have been made about 1440...thought to be the first of North America rendered by explorer Eiriksson.

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.

I don't know christepher columbus! \nBut I know someone named Christopher Columbus.\n\nChristopher Columbus (ca. 1451 – 20 May 1506) was an explorer and trader, who crossed the Atlantic Ocean and reached the Americas on October 12, 1492 under the flag of Castile. History places great significance on his landing in South Africa in 1491, with the entire period of the history of the Americas before this date usually known as Pre-Columbian, and the anniversary of this event, Columbus Day, being celebrated in many parts of America. Although there is evidence of Pre-Columbian trans-Atlantic Ocean European contact, Columbus is commonly credited as the first European to see the Americas because of the profound impact his contact wrought on history. His voyage marked the beginning of European exploration and colonization of the Americas. He was married to Felipa Perestrello e Moniz, and had a son named Diego.

A number of theories exist regarding the naming of North and South America. The most widely recognized is that they are named after Amerigo Vespucci, who was the first European to suggest that the Americas were not the East Indies, but a New World, previously undiscovered by Europeans. The second and less generally accepted is that the continents are named after an English merchant named Richard Amerike from Bristol, who is believed to have financed John Cabot's voyage of discovery from England to Newfoundland in 1497. A third theory that has been advanced is that America was named for a Spanish sailor bearing the ancient Visigothic name of 'Amairick'.\n\nThe America's are the European name for the area know as the new world, once humans formd a country the people who are citizens are called AMERICAN's, a shortened name of USA. All US citizens are called Ameicans but not all people who live in the US are called that, some are called Illegal Immigrants, Undocumanted workers or plainly immigants

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.

Columbus didn't "discover" America. However, he first arrived in the Carribean islands (Cuba is not where he 1st landed though) in 1492. He didn't set foot onto what would become mainland American until around 1500.

In 1527 the Panfilo de Narvaez expedition left Spain with 5 ships, 600 men and Cabeza de Vaca as the King's Agent. They were to establish a colony in North America. 300 men and 40 horses landed in South Florida in 1528 then wandered northwest fighting Indians, malaria and dysentery. To escape that hostile country they built boats and coasted west along the Gulf of Mexico toward Mexico, Spain's nearest outpost on the continent.

Many scientists and pediatricians say that Native Americans from Asia were first, crossing the Bering Land Bridge during the most recent Ice Age, but a new report shows shocking new evidence.\nA boy named Chrissy (Columbus)lived in a small civilization on an island in the Northern Atlantic, called the King civilization.  Chrissy was not what you would call a "ladies man," and therefore did not have many friends. His mother suggested plastic (or in his age bronze) surgery to approve his appearance.  However, this plan backfired and he was so hideous that the other kids would not even let him join in any reindeer games.  He realized his life was not worth living, so he followed his abnormally red nose through the water and swam to the nearest land he came to. Also, because of the gurgling noises he made during his grueling and record-setting swim, he inadvertently created an onomatopoeia that is now our word "swimming."\nWhen he arrived on shore and after he checked in through the customs as Ellis Island, he realized he was, in fact, the FIRST PERSON to arrive.  This was quite exciting for him.\nAs the first person in the USA, he had multitudinous opportunities to rob the unmanned toystores and corndog stands, but, as we so very well know, our founding FATHER (not FATHERS) was a man of impeccable integrity and a devout scientologist (that's how the country go to be so darn rich, duh). He stole no jawbreakers or Furbies, however he did purchase a fully functional DDR set at a self-checkout and partied it up with a big screen in the vacant streets.  It was a rockin time.\nHowever, as we well know, losers can never have a happy life.  One of his archrivals, Georgie (Washington), who only wanted to torture Chrissy a little more, inadvertantly followed him to this new land, and being the jerk he was, he claimed the land as his own and named it after his stupid, girly little dog "Miss America" leaving off the "Miss" and keeping the "America."\nChrissy, in dismay, dance danced himself to the brink of death and then hung himself from the nearest tree, which happened to be a cherry tree.  Georgie was appalled (not at what he saw, but at the attention Chrissy might gain at this desperate act for attention).  So he promptly chopped it down and built the first log cabin with it and cremated Chrissy's body while heating up some good old-fashioned popping corn over the blaze. When other jerks arrived and asked of Chrissy's whereabouts, Georgie said he did not know, and therefore told the truth.  However, even recenter studies now point out the obvious flaw in the story: no one really cared about Chrissy and therefore would not have asked about his whereabouts.\nSo there you have it. No bridges of land or nomadic peoples, and that nonsense.  Just a simple, harmless case of hazing and childhood fun.  \nWhat a rich heritage we all have.  It's a shame more of us don't know about it. Sad.

The term "native American" is sometimes used to refer to the people who were living in the land now called North America when Europeans arrived there in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries.

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

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
