GOLD, GLORY, GOD

More Columbus

  • Set off to find a quicker route to the West Indies.
  • Crew was near mutiny when land was sighted.
  • Landed near present day Bahamas (thought it

was the West Indies)

  • Indigenous people called themselves the Taino

(“noble ones”). He called them something else…

  • Los Indios…..translation Indians….WHY????
  • Thus began the move from the Old World

(Europe) to the New World (Americas)

Why “West Indies”?

  • After Colombus’ first voyage to the

Americas, Europeans continued to use the misnomer West Indies to differentiate that region from the Indies (South Asia and Southeast Asia)
