• 00:00:00 In the 16th century, Europeans began to explore the New World. Cristóbal Colón, an Italian explorer, was the first European to set foot on American soil in 1492. However, it was not until the 15th century that Europeans began to explore and settle in America. In 1492, Christopher Columbus sailed to America on a small ship and landed on what is now the Bahamas. Columbus quickly realized that he had found a new continent and named it America after the king of Spain. Columbus' voyage was a religious and political crusade, and he was not the first European to explore America. However, his voyage marked the beginning of European colonization of the Americas. After Columbus' voyage, Europeans began to explore and settle America. The first Europeans to arrive in America were the Vikings, who sailed to America in the 10th century. The Vikings explored and settled in what is now Newfoundland and Labrador. The Portuguese also explored and settled in America in the 15th century. One of the Portuguese explorers, Cristóbal Colón, discovered and landed on the Caribbean island of Hispaniola in 1492. Colón's voyage was a huge success, and he claimed the new land for Spain. However, Col
• 00:05:00 In 1492, Spanish explorer Christopher Columbus sailed to the Americas in search of a new route to Asia, but ended up discovering America instead. Upon his return to Europe, he met with Queen Isabella II and outlined his plans for conquest, but was met with resistance from other Spanish leaders. Eventually, he persuaded the rulers of Castilla and Aragon to support his endeavor, and together they organized and financed the voyage. Upon their arrival in the Americas, Columbus and his crew faced many challenges, including breaking the ship's steering mechanism and discovering that the natives they were trading with were not as friendly as they had been led to believe. Despite these setbacks, they eventually made it to the Indies and founded the first European colony in the area. Columbus' achievements are still celebrated today.
• 00:10:00 In "EL DESCUBRIMIENTO DE AMERICA EN 22 MINUTOS | INFONIMADOS," Sabia portrays himself as a fearless explorer who, despite many setbacks, finally reaches Asia. In this video, he tells the story of his journey, beginning with his discovery of America in 22 minutes. He explains that the people he found there were very poor and that they were called "Indios" by the Spanish, but in fact they had actually arrived on an island called Guanahaní, which the friends called "Guanahani." As he spoke the natives' language, he realized that they were saying something like "Bao, miren estos hombres que son de otro color," meaning "Look, look at these men who are from another color." Colon, who knew Spanish old enough to understand what they were saying, renamed the island San Salvador and this island, rather than being in the Indies, was in America. Sabia continued his exploration and, after several more islands, he found a group of natives who told him that there was gold on the next island. He sailed there and, after a difficult voyage, arrived on January 10, 1492, on an island he called Hispaniola. At first,
• 00:15:00 This video introduces Cristóbal Colón, who in 1493 sailed to Spain with a cargo of "gold, pearls, and other precious items" he had acquired from Native Americans he had kidnapped. The Spanish royals were so impressed with what they saw that they named him the "Intercambio Columbino," or "Columbian Exchange." This event marked the beginning of aggressive European colonization of the Americas. In 1496, when Cristóbal's debts to the Spanish crown became too great, he decided to sell Native Americans as slaves in Europe. However, this venture did not go well, and he was soon arrested and brought back to Spain in chains. His reputation was now ruined, and he died in 1506.
• 00:20:00 In 1504, Cristóbal Colón arrived in what is now the United States, four years after Diego Méndez had arrived. Incan natives greeted the Spaniards with help in getting them ashore, but it took four days. Once they arrived, they found the area uninhabited. Although he had been told to seek help from the natives, Colón decided to go on foot and it took him six days to get there. When he arrived, he found that no help was forthcoming, so he sent a ship back to Spain. Colón died while on his way, believing he had arrived at the "simple, colorless country" he had been told about. However, his story does not end there. A group of people, led by Vespucio, is now on their way to America to conquer it. This strange tale has yet another chapter to be written.
