Option a. believed that Asia was larger, and closer to Europe by water. Christopher Columbus was born in Genoa, Italy in 1451. He was an explorer, he learned to sail on trading ships. He <em>thought that he could find a shorter route and reach Asia by sea.</em> Asia had silks and spices so finding a faster route would help and make trade easier. He first asked the King of Portugal for funding for the trip but the King refused to finance such trip. Columbus then went to the King and Queen of Spain and they agreed to sponsor his trip. He sailed with three ships and his belief was that instead of sailing east as was the long route back then, if he sailed west he would find a shorter route to Asia since he thought Asia was larger that it really was. When he reached America he called indians the native people he saw since he believed he had actually found the shortcut to Asia he was looking for.
Answer:
Wealth, gold, property and women.
Explanation:
The discovery of America in 1492 by Christopher Columbus under the Spanish flag was a cultural shock for both indigenous and Europeans. Ultimately, they were two totally different cultures and idiosyncracies, based on totally dissimilar concepts, religions and customs and on conceptions of nature, life, society and politics that had no points of connection between them.
Thus, Columbus was greatly surprised to see that the natives wore pendants of precious stones and metals such as gold as if they were simple ornaments, downplaying the wealth they implied for Europeans. Furthermore, the property system itself was different and was based on collective property, rather than the private individual property of Europeans. Even the role of women in native societies was shocking for Europeans, since they had an egalitarian role that was very different from Europe, where women were socially relegated behind men.
