  6. Child hood Marco Polo Christopher Columbus was the oldest of 5 kids, he was born in 1851, in Italy (Genoa coast of Italy) as a child he loved to read about the travels of Marco Polo. He was an other explorer that did the same thing he did when Columbus was older. It was hard to read about sense he got little schooling

  7. Christopher Columbus sadly was very harsh and cruel to the native Americans. It did not seem fair he could just take the Land when it was the Native Americans. Columbus and his men killed over 125,000 native Americans. They killed them with weapons and claimed the land as their own. Christopher Columbus died in 1506 and he still believed he had discovered a shorter route to Asia.
