7 Answers: Teacher Page 1. Christopher Columbus achieved fame by sailing across the Atlantic Ocean from Europe. 2. Columbus was not the first European to reach the Western Hemisphere.

In the late 1400 s, the Portuguese wanted to obtain gold, silk, gems, and spices from the Indies. 9. Columbus proposed reaching the Indies by sailing due west. 10. False. Columbus based his belief that the world was mostly land on a map by Ptolemy, not Strabo. 11. King John II refused to fund Columbus s first journey because a royal council believed Columbus had greatly underestimated the length of the journey. 12. The Spanish monarchs were open to Columbus s plan because it could give them an advantage over Portugal in the race to Asia. Columbus also told the intensely religious monarchs that he would use the proceeds from his trip to further Christian enterprises against the Muslims. 13. False.

Ferdinand and Isabella wanted Columbus to investigate the possibility that the Asian mainland lay south or southwest of the lands he already had explored. 26.
