In 1492, Columbus and his crew embarked on a voyage to find a shorter route to India and the Orient with three medium-sized ships, the Niña (real name Santa Clara), the Pinta, and the Santa Maria. Finally, he encountered the Americas, a continent which was largely unknown in Europe and outside the Old World political and economic system. - Buy Now:
