| Christopher Columbus had a major Impact on the world. He impacted many different countries. Columbus impacted: Spain, Portugal, U.S.A., Canada and Cuba especially. Also you will learn about how another special explorer impacted Columbus. To find out how he impacted all of these countries please read on. Christopher Columbus had quite an impact on Spain. The reason for this is because he was under their control while he was out exploring. Spain's King Ferdinand and Queen Isabela sponsered Columbus on all of his expeditions, which granted them and Spain in control of it all. That is how Columbus impacted Spain. Christopher Columbus also had quite an impact on Portugal. As you know Columbus first turned to Portugal for support on his voyages, but was turned away curtly by King John the Third. The impact on Portugal was a big blow to them because all of this new land that Columbus got for Spain would be very handy if it was in Portugal's hands. It also probaly made all Portuguese folk doubt King John which was not a very good reputation. That is all about how Columbus impacted Portugal in a not so good way. Christopher also made quite an impact on the United States of America. He made a great impact on them, the greatest possible.... HE DISCOVERED THEM! The Americans are very grateful of him and celebrate a national holiday for him on the Monday closest to October 12, which was the day of his first landfall. Although the Americans know that he barely explored their land they still reconize him as their great explorer and discoverer. That is how Columbus impacted The Unites States Of America. Christopher Columbus also believe it or not made an impact on Canada. He impacted us quite a bit actually. Columbus impacted us because he founded our neighbour and main trade partner: The United States Of America. You may think that this is not all that important, but it is. Christopher helped all of us Canadians out more then we realize it. If he didn't discover America then who knows if anyone would have known to explore there and then eventually come across Canada. That is how Columbus impacted all of us Canadians. Christopher Columbus also made quite an impact on Cuba. He made an impact on them because he was the Explorer that founded them. Although he founded them trying to find a way to Asia, he still founded them just the same. Cuba is very grateful for his curious mind. That is how Columbus impacted Cuba. Now! The moment you have all been waiting for! Well believe it our not the explorer that inspired Columbus to explore was MARCO POLO! After Columbus read a book all about Polo's expeditions he felt that he also had to go and explore. Little does Marco Polo know but he impacted almost the whole world! If it wasn't for Marco Polo then who knows where all of us would be living today! That is all about Marco Polo who made quite an imact on the world. You have now learned about all the different ways that Columbus has impacted the world and how we have impacted him. I hope you find this interesting.
