1492: October 12
At two in the morning the sailor Rodrigo de Triana yells "Earth!" from the caravel Pinta. The New World has just been discovered. The territory sighted is an island in the Bahamas, which Columbus calls San Salvador and which is currently called Guanahani. Christopher Columbus will long believe that they have arrived in East Asia and not on a hitherto unknown continent in Europe. This discovery will determine the political, social and economic evolution of the coming centuries. From this trip only two caravels will return to Spain, the Pinta and the Niña. The Santa María will run aground on the island of Española in December 1492. Its remains will be used to build Fort Navidad. (529 years ago)
