1492
from History of the Atlantic World Hosted by Jesse Wuest
The story of the history of the Atlantic World truly begins in Genoa, where host Jesse Wuest tells the tale of a young boy from Italy, who desperately desired to grow up to be a baller, a shot-caller. And after 1492 the world will never be the same. His name is Christopher Columbus, he sailed in 1492 as you well know, across the Atlantic and reached the Americas. In truth, the Admiral took four voyages across the ocean and this episode details his life and career - as well as gives information about the Taino and Carib Indians whom he encountered in the Caribbean. Other conquistadores and "explorers" such as Roldan, Ojeda or Hojeda, Juan de la Cosa, and Amerigo Vespucci are also discussed. ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★
