Christopher Columbus

👤 Who

Christopher Columbus was a navigator and explorer born in Genoa, Italy, in the late 15th century. He is known for his famous voyage across the Atlantic Ocean.

크리스토퍼 콜럼버스는 15세기에 이탈리아 제노바에서 태어난 항해사이자 탐험가예요. 대서양을 횡단한 유명한 항해로 잘 알려져 있어요.

💡 Fun fact

Columbus made four voyages across the Atlantic Ocean in total, but he always believed he had reached Asia — he never knew he had found a continent new to Europeans.

콜럼버스는 총 네 번 대서양을 건넜지만, 자신이 아시아에 도착했다고 믿었어요. 유럽인들에게 완전히 새로운 대륙을 발견했다는 사실을 끝내 알지 못했어요.
