Then came a time where some peoples were thinking that the earth was circular. A man wanted to proove it. It was Christopher Columbus. He was an Italian. The king of Spain supported him. He set sail from Palos de Moguer on August 3 of 1492 with 3 ships: Nina, Pinta and Santa Maria, and discovered America on October 12 of the same year. He discovered a little part of the Antilles which he named Hisponola. After him, Spain, France and England established peoples in the new world in differents regions.
