Hello
I am going to write about the discovery of America.
America was discovered by Christopher Columbus.He wanted to go to India, because he had read in books that there was lots of valuables thing. He also thought that the world had a round shape, but the people thought he was crazy, as they thought the earth was flat. Columbus wanted to go to India by other route. He asked for help to the king and queen of Portugal and France. But they refused. Some years later when he asked the Catholic king and queen of Spain, they agreed. At first King Fernando thought Columbus was crazy but the Queen Isabelle thought he was right. King Fernando and Queen Isabelle gave Columbus 3 ships ``La Niña, La Pinta and La Santa Maria´´. The Catholic Kings also gave him some prisoners and sailors to go with him in the journey. On 3rd of August, 1492 they started the trip from Puerto de Palos. On 12th of October Columbus reached a new continent, they thought as India. When they saw the natives they called them indios. When he returned Spain he told the Kings all the things he and his group members had seen. So, later more expeditions were made to the new continent and they conquered Mexico. In Mexico, they celebrate October 12th as El día del Descubrimiento de América (Day of the discovery of America) or El día de la Raza (Day of the Mexican race).
