Paperback. Zustand: Fair. When, in 1492, Christopher Columbus finally stood ready to set sail across the 'Ocean Sea' for what he thought was India, he crossed himself and devoted his expedition to the Holy Trinity and to the King and Queen of Spain. With the gold and spices (and slaves) he would find, Columbus planned to fund a new Crusade to win back Jerusalem. At the time Columbus's voyage was insignificant, but it became one of the most important events in history. The colonisation he started was followed by the Dutch, French and British. Pioneers like Columbus, Amerigo Vespucci and the hundreds of Spaniards they inspired looked for riches, glory and to serve God in the New World. While they didn't believe the earth was flat, they thought an Earthly Paradise existed on the far side of the Indies, and that the rivers flowed with gold. Later the Conquistadores brought slavery, their irresistible weapons and European diseases to the ancient civilisations, and made Spain the richest nation in the world. 'A splendid volume, bold and strong in its outlines, rich in fascinating details, punctuated by well-chosen quotations from contemporaries and eyewitnesses, and accompanied by many maps and excellent illustrations' Paul Johnson, Literary Review.…

Zustand: Fair. : En 1492, Cristóbal Colón se preparó para zarpar a través del 'Océano Mar' hacia lo que creía que era la India, se santiguó y dedicó su expedición a la Santísima Trinidad y a los Reyes de España. Con el oro y las especias (y los esclavos) que encontraría, Colón planeó financiar una nueva Cruzada para reconquistar Jerusalén. En ese momento, el viaje de Colón fue insignificante, pero se convirtió en uno de los acontecimientos más importantes de la historia. La colonización que inició fue seguida por los holandeses, franceses e ingleses. Pioneros como Colón, Américo Vespucio y los cientos de españoles a los que inspiraron buscaron riquezas, gloria y servir a Dios en el Nuevo Mundo. Si bien no creían que la tierra fuera plana, pensaban que existía un Paraíso Terrenal al otro lado de las Indias y que los ríos fluían con oro. Más tarde, los conquistadores trajeron la esclavitud, sus irresistibles armas y las enfermedades europeas a las antiguas civilizaciones, e hicieron de España la nación más rica del mundo.
