Detailed explanation-1: -The explorer Christopher Columbus made four trips across the Atlantic Ocean from Spain: in 1492, 1493, 1498 and 1502. He was determined to find a direct water route west from Europe to Asia, but he never did. Instead, he stumbled upon the Americas.
Detailed explanation-2: -Christopher Columbus died on May 20, 1506 at only 55 years of age due to heart failure. His condition was called gout at the time, but modern doctors suspect that it was rather Reiter’s Syndrome, a reactive arthritis caused by bacterial intestinal infections or sexually transmitted diseases.
Detailed explanation-3: -While Columbus obtained great wealth from his expeditions, he became an outcast and died of age-related causes on May 20, 1506 in Valladolid, Spain.
