He wanted to find a direct water route from Europe to Asia, however he never managed to do that. He did, however, manage to find a new continent. Because he was hell bent on finding India in Asia, he naturally thought that his ship landed in India, and he called the inhabitants Indians, but those were in fact Native Americans. So, he failed in finding a route to Asia, but he found America.

How did the dust bowl caused okies to prefer life in california over life on the great plains?
UkoKoshka [18]
The Dust Bowl was a drought in the 1930's in the United States. This drought caused the Great Plains to be very dry. Okies were people from Oklahoma who had to leave and move to California during this time to find jobs. They could no longer farm since the land was not good for farming anymore. In California, the land was good for farming and had many other jobs that the people from Oklahoma could do. California was not hit as bad as the other parts of the United States by the depression.
