The discovery of America

The Catholic kings of Spain financed the project of Christopher Columbus and on April 17, 1492 the capitulations of Santa Fe were signed, a document that granted Columbus the title of admiral. On August 3, 1942 Coló set sail from the port of Palos with his three skulls: La Niña, La Pinta and Santa María.
On October 12, 1942, Christopher Columbus found the Bahamas islands and conquered them in the name of the crown of Spain. On December 24, 1492, they found the island of Santo Domingo, which they called "Hispaniola".
