Christopher's Crazy Impacts;D

My impacts have a both positive and negative side. A downfall on my discovering America was the mistreating I gave the native people who we’re currently living on the land. For example diseases like yellow fever, malaria, measles, small pox, pneumonia, whooping cough we’re brought with my fellow Europeans. A further problem with this fact is that the European explores who brought the diseases to the land we’re already immured to them, compared to the newly exposed natives. Also, the populations we’re affected. At one time I captured some of the natives and brought them back to Spain. After seeing myself take Indians without question, other Europeans began to do the same. They we’re selling these people off as slaves, and farmers we’re working them on their fields.

Though not all impacts we’re negative. Because of me, the spread of culture and goods occurred. A trade between the Americas goods and the European goods started to emerge. Also, the planting of certain fruits and vegetables we’re planted like corn, cayenne, cocoa beans, peanuts, potatoes, and tomatoes became more widespread besides just in the native lands as the Americas. These new crop gains gave a boosting to countries such as Russia, England, and France a boost in the economy because they each benefited from the crops. Both culture and economy of many countries we’re affected positively because of this new discovery.

Check out my achievements (;

My achievements included starting the very successful Columbian Exchange. I don’t mean to brag, but it brought much crops and livestock from the eastern hemisphere all the way to the western hemisphere. Examples of this could be corn, vanilla, chocolate, potatoes, etc.

Another achievement was the island in the ‘new world’ named San Salvador. Like this newfound land, I started colonizing in the new world which is now America today. Besides the Americas, I landed on what is now Jamaica, Guadeloupe and Puerto Rico on one of my voyages. Because of this I am known as a navigator, colonizer, and an explorer who played a key role in spreading civilization across a significant portion of the Earth. My voyages lead to awareness of the Western world. Bringing my culture across this new discovered area. Without me, people question if the United States of America may have been delayed indefinitely, or have never occurred at all.

Though, I must admit, finding what is now The United States of America wasn’t really my goal. I was aiming to finding India, thinking by going west I would eventually hit the coast because the earth is spherical. Even though my logic was wrong, my luck was right. I made of the most amazing discoveries of my time.

My FAVORITE painting the Mona Lisa :)

My long lasting impact on the world.. OHYEAH :)

         I am known as quite the Renaissance man and also a contributor to the Humanist movement. I impacted the art world by being one of the first to incorporate major realism to my portraits as well as add natural backgrounds, depth and emotions to my pieces. I also had major influences on in the design of hydraulics, mechanical engineering, structural engineering  such as the construction of canal systems, locks, bridges, fortification, and advanced weaponry of the day both offensive and defensive. I inspired many other inventors as well as scientist with my studies of the human anatomy.

The early life of me, Christopher Columbus

Hi, I’m Christopher Columbus. I was born in the year 1451 in Genoa, which at my lifetime was an independent city-state and renowned trading center and even the wealthiest city in the western Mediterranean. Here we were we’ll educated, learning the language of Liguria, and in the future I’ve learned Latin, Portuguese, Spanish, and even Catalan. Growing up, my father Delmonico Columbus was a wool merchant in my city. He gave us much wealth; he was constantly buying and selling real estate over my lifetime. Instead of following in my fathers weaving career footsteps, I was more interested in the sea, and what mysteries and treasuries it beholds. I loved to sail my ships to Ghana, Ireland, Portugal, and even Iceland as well. While in Portugal, I met my lovely wife Dona Felipa Perestrello y Moniz. Together we had our first son named Diego.

One major problem I faced in my life was at the time when the Turks captured Constantinople in 1453. Because of their invasion, oriental trade goods went to the highest prices I have ever seen. At this point, I was paying too much for goods. I knew I couldn’t face this much longer, so I set off for the ‘fortunes’ that we’re said to be held in the route to “the indies”. I set myself on a plan to go west and find these treasures myself. The “ocean sea” was ahead of me, and I was set to go half way around the world. After befriending my Spanish friends, King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella funded me money for my new plan. They we’re both so content on where they were after wining the war; I felt this was the right time to ask for their help. They accepted, and had faith in my plans and me. My first ever voyage was set on August 3^rd, 1492.

My achievments as Leonardo Da Vinci !

           My many interests and talents have named me as many different professions such as a painter, sculptor, architect, musician, scientist, mathematician, engineer, inventor, anatomist, geologist, cartographer, botanist and writer. I sketched the first parachute, first helicopter, first airplane, first tank, first repeating rifle, swinging bridge, paddle boat. Despite my varying interests, I'm most famously known for my impression as a Renaissance artist. Some of my most famous achievements as an artist were my paintings; Annunication, in 1482 the Adoration of the Magi, in 1475 I painted an angel in Verrocchio's Baptism of Christ, and my most famous piece of art in 1404 called the Mona Lisa. One of my later paintings that was also quite famous was The Last Supper, which I painted in 1495. Lastly I had also became quite fond of my Self Portrait which I painted int 1515.
