Hi!

This is my first diary, Am I going to talk about myself? No way, my life isn't interesting, is too boring xD. Moreover, I have to study History and English, so let's practice both of them!. I'm going to write about one of my last History class.

We are talking about America discovering, our teacher said that Colón was a bungler. He wouldn't have discovered America if he hadn't made four mistakes. And when he had arrived there he thought that it was China, and he died thinking that! Well, for him it was better to said that it was China because his contract was about going from Spain to China, not discovering new places xD. He was hired by the Kings of Spain, no one wanted to finance his project of going to China crossing the Atlantic. Even it was rejected by the Kings of Spain, but he tried again when they had already conquered Granada and they were excited.

But, if people thought that earth was plane, Why he wanted to crossed the Atlantic? Right, The West had too many spices and unique materials that were not on other places, and there were to many exchanges to bring them here. So Colón's idea was making another trade route safer and less expensive for this unique materials.

Then, Spain was the best empire in the world at that time. Why isn't now if Spain being riched with American Silver? That's because we are lammers xD. Just kidding, maybe I'll explain in the next entry ;)

Thank's for reading :D

@polkiujnm
My book said that he thought he had discovered China, but you are right too, and in some places you can read his proyect was about going to Cipango (Japan).

Yes, he believed that the world was round and smaller.

Thanks for the corrections and the comments :D

Hey what's up? I haven't talked to ya since that one time on Skype. IMy computer crashed so I guess we wont be able to anymore. Anyway nice to hear ya. Chao

@Angelo Yes, and in North America they don't speak Spanish either. If I'm not wrong in Canada they speak English and French because it was a French colony for a while. And America is called America and not Colona (for example) because it was Américo Vespucio (Amerigo Vespucci, he was an Italian) the first navigator who went to America as New Lands :)

@Aniel thanks, I hope you can fix your computer :D
