Columbus Day

The holiday Columbus day we celebrate it because it's the day that a man named Christopher Columbus had discovered North America, which is now the United States. Christopher Columbus was a Explorer and navigator and was born in 1451 in the Republic of Genoa, Italy. His first voyage into the Atlantic Ocean in 1476 had almost cost him his life.  He had found new lands and was in seek for India for the riches. Lastly this land was untouched by europeans so all the natural resources were plentiful.

I think it was very lucky of him that he found it because it made Spain more wealthy.
