Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Notes on the Early History of Buenos Aires As We were taught in our school days, the main object of the first voyage of Columbus was to reach the fabled East. The motives were material and commercial rather than scientific, although the Crusading spirit of the times found expression in that clause in his "Capitula-ciones" or contract with the Crown of Spain by which he agreed to devote all of his portion of the profits to the purchase of Jerusalem from the Moslems, so that the Holy Sepulchre might again belong to the Christians. The extraordinary successes of the Mohametan arms had closed the trade routes from Europe to Asia, and pressure from the same source was increasing. The only outlet was westward and the attention of the maritime nations became centered on new sea-routes.
