Information about Columbus How did Columbus live in his later years?
There is an old saying in China that winners are kings and losers are enemies, which means that if you succeed, people will worship you, but if you fail, people will ignore you and even despise you. So now most of the information about Columbus is about his teacher's deeds after his success, but the hero begins at the end. Here, the author will provide you with some information before Columbus succeeded.

As you know, Columbus was born in the coastal city of Genoa. He is an Italian to the core, but he left his birthplace at a very young age, first to Portugal and then to Spain. Why? Most of Columbus's materials avoid talking about this.
Born in a port city, he was exposed to navigation technology and adventurous spirit since he was a child, so young Columbus mastered the best navigation technology at that time very early and was like a duck to water at sea. Later, Columbus got his wish and became a captain, which was the lifelong dream of many port civilians. But Columbus did not stop. He still has his own dreams.
Captain Columbus heard about Kyle Poirot's adventure when he was very young, but others regarded it as a story, but he thought it was an inspirational example. And at that time, the debate about the shape of the earth was basically settled, and most people still agreed with the big ball. Therefore, Captain Columbus took pains to lobby the dignitaries of various countries, especially the royal families of various countries. Unfortunately, most people have no courage and curiosity. For this reason, Captain Columbus first moved to Portugal and then moved to Spain, because both countries are close to the sea. Not only the navigation technology is advanced, but also people are full of adventure spirit. More importantly, the royal families of both countries have shown great enthusiasm for ocean exploration. So Captain Columbus chose these two countries successively.
What was Columbus's life like in his later years?
The most brilliant time in Columbus' life was actually his middle age, because Columbus was questioned in his later years. What people question is not whether Columbus sailed to the shore, but whether Columbus arrived in Africa or India or China as they thought.
Portrait of Columbus
In his later years, Columbus spent his time sailing. But because of the weather, Columbus himself denied his mistake in his mind, so Columbus's last voyage ended because the ship was destroyed by the storm. Columbus himself was a well-known descendant of the Jews, so he kept his mistakes secret and didn't believe them.
Columbus was not buried in his hometown in his later years. Because all the honors of Columbus were brought to him by Spain, even if he died, he died on Spanish territory. Columbus in his later years had everything and pursued everything. Columbus not only had great goals in his later years, but also in his life. He was such a selfish man. He worked hard to make money all his life, but Columbus finally lost his mind and could not make money in his later years. In this way, Columbus provided a particularly good opportunity for all Europeans. This is not only an opportunity, but also an inexhaustible treasure for life.
Columbus was not as brilliant in his later years as he was in middle age, but when a man could no longer sail and had to choose to berth, his heart relaxed and died. This is how Columbus spent his old age and died peacefully in a foreign country.
What were Columbus' last words?
Columbus's achievement lies in his sailing career. Columbus is remembered for his outstanding contribution to the discovery of the world. Columbus was not a supporter of his country Spain, but he died in Spain. Therefore, people naturally care about Columbus's last words.

In Columbus's last words, the first thing to thank is his benefactor. Without the support of this benefactor, the Queen of Spain, Columbus's life would be ruined. So in Columbus's last words, he first mentioned that he had the wise support of Bole. Then, Columbus's last words naturally mentioned what he had done all his life, so it was inevitable that he discovered a continent that people paid little attention to before. It's a pity that Columbus didn't want to admit his cognitive mistakes until he died. He has always regarded the new place as the legendary India he heard.
Columbus's last words are more heartfelt, because everyone will die, but in the records, Columbus's last words did not express regret for some wrong things he did, but expressed regret for some things he did not do. This makes Columbus's last words look pale and powerless, because Columbus's last words did not mention his cruelty to the local aborigines, which may be taken for granted in Columbus's own cognition.
Columbus's last words did not mention Columbus's own cruelty, but Columbus's last words did not mention Columbus's own home. Maybe Columbus really recognized the country that he struggled for most of his life, or maybe cool thin was born a Jew.
