Next Monday is celebrated "Columbus Day" in our countries "The day of the race" happened that day that changed history? Go back to 5th grade and remember. "It is said that when Columbus arrived in 1492, nine months after the first Latin American born. The Columbus Day is celebrated on Columbus Day. The United States is celebrated on the second Monday of October. It is the day when we celebrate the birth of our current identity with its history full of bitterness and contradictions. "
 

August 3, 1492, Christopher Columbus sailed from Palos, Huelva, on the coast of Andalusia, with two ships (the Nina and the Pinta) a ship (the Santa Maria), and a crew of about 120 men. They sailed along the African coast to the Canary Islands and then departed to the west. Over the days, the desperation of not knowing when or how to reach their destination caused a mutiny that Columbus calmed promising that if in three days they sighted land, return to Spain.

On October 12, 1492, at two in the morning, after 72 days of sailing they sighted land. Christopher Columbus and his expedition reached the island the natives called Guanahani, which Columbus named it San Salvador, located in the archipelago of the Bahamas or Lucayan. He immediately began to explore the area and soon became the current Cuba, which Columbus named Juana. Columbus was convinced he had reached the East Indies and so called "Indians" to its inhabitants. And with the fixed idea that he was in Cathay, Columbus was given the task of searching the residence of the Great Khan, so we traveled north part of Cuba toward the west, and reached the island of Haiti and is now the Dominican Republic, which he named as the Spanish. On this site, Columbus built a fort with the remains of the Santa Maria, which had crashed into a reef and sunk. That shelter was called Christmas and was the first Spanish settlement in America.

On January 4, 1893, Christopher Columbus returned to Spain with two ships that had left, leaving 40 men at Fort Christmas. In Barcelona, ​​the Catholic Monarchs received solemnly the Admiral, who arrived showing six natives, some exotic fruits such as pineapple, parrots and some gold. The success and reputation of the company Expeditionary Columbus enabled him to obtain funding for a second trip.

"With the arrival of Columbus to America, there was the meeting of two worlds, the European and Indian. And while both were ancient, each one was brand new in the eyes of another. The government of Columbus can be considered brutal, because it violated human dignity and the moral sense of his contemporaries. It was also the first to establish slave institutions. But we also owe to him the introduction of European, African and Asian American family identity. "
