Christopher Columbus was a 15th century Genoese explorer born in 1451 who had a lifelong passion for navigation and science. He dreamed of finding a western route to Asia by sailing across the Atlantic Ocean, believing the Earth was round despite the prevailing idea that the ocean was too vast. After spending over a decade seeking funding, Columbus convinced Ferdinand and Isabella of Spain to back his expedition. In 1492, he set sail from Spain with three ships and 90 men, landing in the Bahamas on October 12th believing he had reached Asia, though it was actually the Americas. Columbus made three additional voyages of exploration and trade before his death in 1506, though he never realized that he had in fact discovered

American art presentation
The document provides an overview of major art movements from Romanticism through Postmodernism, highlighting some of the key features and influential artists of each period. Romanticism emphasized imagination, nature, and the individual. Realism sought to depict everyday life realistically. Impressionism focused on capturing fleeting moments and effects of light. Modernism emerged in response to World War I and industrialization, with Cubism and abstract works questioning artistic conventions. Postmodernism saw the rise of Pop Art reflecting mass culture and feminist artists addressing gender issues.
Bram stoker

Christopher Columbus was an Italian explorer who lived from 1451 to 1506. He wanted to find a new route to Asia by sailing west across the Atlantic Ocean. In 1492, he embarked on his first voyage, sailing west and eventually discovering several islands in the Caribbean including San Salvador and Cuba, believing he had reached Asia. Over subsequent voyages from 1493 to 1502, he explored more islands in the Caribbean and coastal regions of South and Central America, though he never realized he had discovered a new continent.
The Age of Exploration Notes
The document provides an overview of the Age of Exploration and Discovery from the 15th century onwards. It describes how new ship technologies like the caravel enabled longer voyages. Portuguese explorers like Henry the Navigator and Bartolomeu Diaz explored Africa's coasts in search of a trade route to India. Vasco da Gama eventually found the route around the Cape of Good Hope. Christopher Columbus sailed west hoping to reach India but discovered the Americas instead. Ferdinand Magellan led the first circumnavigation of the globe, though he was killed in the Philippines. The Spanish conquistador Cortez conquered the Aztec Empire in Mexico, and Pizarro did similarly to the Incas in South America. The effects
Age of exploration
The document summarizes the Age of Exploration, beginning with the Middle Ages when exploration was unimportant. It then discusses how feudalism brought stability to Europe and the Crusades exposed Europeans to new ideas and cultures. The Renaissance era saw a renewed interest in exploration. Portugal discovered a sea route to Asia, making them wealthy, which motivated other European powers to explore. Christopher Columbus's voyage in 1492 trying to reach Asia accidentally discovered the Americas, launching the Age of Exploration and European colonization of the New World.
Discovery: Columbus
Christopher Columbus, a Genoese explorer and navigator, obtained support for his plan to reach Asia by sailing west from King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella of Spain in 1492. He set sail with three ships and 88 men, landing in the Bahamas rather than Asia. After exploring the islands and encountering the native Taíno people, Columbus returned to Spain with prisoners and goods. His voyage inaugurated a period of European colonization in the Americas over the next centuries.
Hogan's History- Age of Exploration & Discovery

Christopher Columbus
Christopher Columbus was an Italian explorer who made four voyages between Spain and the Americas between 1492 and 1503. These voyages marked the beginning of European colonization of the Americas. Columbus wrongly estimated the distance between Europe and Asia and believed he had reached Asia when he landed in the Bahamas, not realizing he had discovered a new continent. While Columbus opened the door for European colonization, he faced increasing difficulties governing the colonies and was imprisoned for a year due to accusations of tyrannical rule before returning to Spain, where he died still convinced he had reached Asia.
Christopher columbus
Christopher Columbus was an Italian explorer who sailed across the Atlantic Ocean in 1492 hoping to find a western route to Asia, but instead discovered what became known as the Americas. On his first voyage, Columbus established a settlement called Villa de la Navidad on present-day Hispaniola before returning to Spain with captives from the indigenous population. While Columbus made three subsequent voyages, he never realized he had found a "New World" and died believing he had reached Asia. His voyages opened the way for European colonization and trade with the Americas but also brought devastation to the native peoples through violence, disease, and exploitation.

A.为什么留学生需要操作留信认证?
留信认证全称全国留学生信息服务网认证,隶属于北京中科院。①留信认证门槛条件更低,费用更美丽,并且包过,完单周期短,效率高②留信认证虽然不能去国企,但是一般的公司都没有问题,因为国内很多公司连基本的留学生学历认证都不了解。这对于留学生来说,这就比自己光拿一个证书更有说服力,因为留学学历可以在留信网站上进行查询!
B.为什么我们提供的毕业证成绩单具有使用价值？
查询留服认证是国内鉴别留学生海外学历的唯一途径但认证只是个体行为不是所有留学生都操作所以没有办理认证的留学生的学历在国内也是查询不到的他们也仅仅只有一张文凭。所以这时候我们提供的和学校颁发的一模一样的毕业证成绩单就有了使用价值。乌龟和王八贼头贼脑的倒也逗人喜爱日上三竿时山娃总爱窜进自家瓜棚里跟小伙伴们坐着聊天聊着聊着便忍不住往瓜田里逡巡一番抱起一只硕大的西瓜用石刀劈开抑或用拳头砸开每人抱起一大块就啃啃得满嘴满脸猴屁股般的红艳大家一个劲地指着对方吃吃地笑瓜裂得古怪奇形怪状却丝毫不影响瓜味甜丝丝的满嘴生津遍地都是瓜横七竖八的活像掷满了一地的大石块摘走二三只爷爷是断然发现不了的即便发现爷爷也不恼反而教山娃辨认孰熟孰嫩孰甜孰淡水
