Cristóvão Colombo was born in Cuba - Portugal, married Filipa Moniz (1455-1484) who belonged to the high Portuguese nobility - daughter of Isabel Moniz and Bartolomeu Perestrelo and as his desires to sail west were not met by the Portuguese king, he approached the rival king of Spain as being Italian otherwise his proposal would be refused.
Did you know, the Pope called him Colon not Colombo, this was written by the Pope, the highest authority of that time. Did you know, Colon, after his first trip he first stopped in Lisbon. There he met with the King!! of Portugal for 3 days. Then he met with the Queen and the future King of Portugal at another location. Did you know that there were only 74 noble families in Portugal at that time? The fact that a nobleman's daughter (Filipa Moniz Perestrelo) marries an Italian wool weaver is simply not possible. Did you know that Colon never wrote in Italian? Did you know that the most influential and powerful and richest man under Queen Isabella and Ferdinand (Spain) was a man named Alvaro de Braganca? He was Portuguese and the supporter of Colon. Did you know... Colon's personal coat of arms was a green cross..... the coat of arms of the Portuguese royal family. The real story is completely different...
In times when Portugal and Spain ruled the world, Columbus always said that he was of genovese origins. He could boast of being Spanish or Portuguese but he chose a more humble background, so it must be true.

He named Cuba and other islands in the Caribbean after towns in portugal. Now, why would he do that?
