Columbus died not knowing he later found America after he discovered the Caribbean. Magellan later made a route around the world all the way to Africa with the help of a map (dock D). The priests of the churches became mad because they claimed that God made the World flat but was wrong, as well as thinking that the heavens were above the clouds. They were later wrong. The Explorers are still known for “exploring” and “finding” America and the caribbeans.
Since the life of Italy failed to have a central monarchy, modifications occurred during the 14th century. The changes were the growth of larger regional states, the renewal of republican governments by tyrants and the action of having a commerce. This created cities such as Florence to have an expanding land as well as a wealthy merchant class which is why they became the banking center of Italy.

Many people have their own preconceived notion about the Early Americas, Christopher Columbus, and Native Americans, and in the book, The Bedford Anthology of American Literature, by Susan Belasco and Linck Johnson, the myths that people assume are completely shattered when the book brings a new light to the matter. A common myth that people seem to believe is that Christopher Columbus set sail to ensure that the Earth was either round or flat, but this is not the case. ( 79 ). Christopher Columbus was attempting to find a course from Europe to India for trading, yet, he found a new land between the two continents and he called the natives on this vast land, Indians having the misconception of landing on India. It is said that Christopher Columbus
While there in Spain columbus hypothesised that the Earth was sphere shaped. This meant that there was an undiscovered trade route to better conserve time. With the education that he had once received, he assumed that navigators could reach the far East by setting trade routes in Asia by sailing north. For quite some time, years to be approximated, Columbus tried to advise Spanish and Portuguese kings to generate the financial support and stability needed for his plan to follow through, but no one invested time, money, or interest in Columbus’s proposition. Soon to come in 1492, King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella both reviewed Columbus’s plan again and decided to join a partnership with the navigator once the moors were expelled from Spain.
The Early Modern Asian Maritime world was an active area of trade and communication. New empires united stretches of land that had once be divided by geographical boundaries. They supplied standards in currencies and weights and measures, essential in promoting wide-spread, long-distance trade. They spread quickly through travel, trade, and conquest and were quite successful due to their competing ideas and a constant search to meet people’s needs. While capital cities were important for administration, it was the medium-sized cities that proved essential to trade and exchange of ideas.
Christopher Columbus was an explorer and navigator born in 1451 in Genoa, Italy. When Christopher Columbus crossed the Atlantic Ocean from Spain in 1492, he hoped to reach eastern Asia. He thought he had reached Asia when he landed on an island in the Caribbean Sea. In fact he had opened up to Europeans a new world with two continents—North America and South America—and many islands.
The Middle East underwent many changes yet some continuities between 600 to 1450 c.e.. The Middle East during the time of 600 c.e. was the first spread and start of Islam which stated a change reaction for the religion, but it also started a new type of rule from controlling city- states to caliphs.

In source 3 of From The Life of the Admiral Christopher Columbus, Ferdinand, the son of Columbus explains with valid reasoning as to why his dad had preconceptions about the natural world and human cultures in “the Indies.” The first reasoning that Columbus’ son gives about his dad is that he was aware of the world being round, he also assumed that he could go from east to west in a complete circle until he met people. Ferdinand inferred from his father, “since the eastern of India was not yet known, that end must be the one which is closed to us in the West; therefore any lands that he should discover might be called the Indies…”(Page 281) He imagined their being men standing at opposite ends of the world, forming one against the one other.
I will be explaining what changes occurred during the Medieval times in Europe.

The fourteenth century was a time of grief and havoc. In this time period, Europe was turned upside down when disaster struck. Not a single person (serfs, lords, vassals, physicians, and even the clergy) was safe from the horror that was consuming them. The Hundred Years’ War kicked off the disastrous time, followed by the decline of the church through the Great Schism and Avignon Papacy, and the outburst of the Bubonic Plague (Black Death) finished off the disastrous time period. These three events brought about a great change to the Middle Ages, and contributed to this time period being categorized as calamitous.
