The event of discovery was so important that
historians have divided it into two parts.
1. Before Columbus
2. After Columbus
America was discovered at that time when due to
civil war the internal condition of Europe was getting bad to worse. On the
other hand the Ottoman Empire closed all the routes which were going in the
direction of Asia, at that time Columbus discovered America. What an amazing
thing it is that America was only 36 miles away from Strait of Barring, but for
century’s people of the ancient world remained unaware of it. Nobody imagined
of it that a great continent is existing on the other side. Till the time of Columbus
no one could think about such a big continent neither India nor a part of Tatars
an kingdom but a separate world. Now from northern direction some people
reached at the Icelandic region of America and kept the name “New World” or
it’s identity. Afterwards a Spanish monarch sent on of its government servant
on the journey of this new world. He at first docked his ship on the coast of
Brazil and then northern, middle and southern America was also discovered. For
this reason this new world was given the name of America.
