He was Italian!. Genoa!. He had long thought thru ancient maps, and myths that there was a way to sail to China going west, but the world thought the world was flat!. China was his destination, not his nationality!. China was what he was looking for, but bumped in to No!. America along the way!. Not a bad mistake, as it turned out!.

He was financed and supported, sailed for Spain!. The result was to put to make Spain the most powerful country in the world, until 1588, when they began to lose power, via losing the Spanish Amada, a foolish invasion of the British Isles, that diminished much of their power, though they remained a world power for another two hundred years!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

The general consensus is that he was born in Genoa, the son of Domenico Colombo, a middle-class wool weaver who would later move his family to nearby Savona, where he operated a tavern!. Somewhere Columbus wrote that he went to sea at the age of ten!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
