	Background
	Columbus was born 1451 in Genoa, (Republic of Genoa, nowadays part of Italy). His father was Domenico Colombo, a textiles trader. His mother was Susanna Fontanarossa.
	In 1470 when the Columbus Family moved to Savona, Columbus was on a Genoese ship hired in the service of René I of Anjou to support his attempt to conquer the Kingdom of Naples.
	In 1473 Columbus was appointed a military commander for the important Centurione, Di Negro and Spinola families of Genoa. Later he allegedly made a trip to Chios, a Genoese colony in the Aegean Sea. In May 1476, he took part in an armed convoy sent by Genoa to carry a valuable cargo to northern Europe. He docked in Bristol, Galway, in Ireland and was possibly in Iceland in 1477. In 1479 Columbus reached his brother Bartolomeo in Lisbon, keeping on trading for the Centurione family. He married Filipa Moniz Perestrello of Genoese origin, daughter of the Porto Santo governor, the Genoese nobleman Bartolomeo Perestrello. In 1481, his son, Diego was born. He calls himself Diego Colon Moniz i.e. he never used Perestrelo in his name.
	Under the corrupt reign of Pope Innocent VIII (1484-1492), Spain remained essentially the beneficiary of Papal support and influence. The Inquisition was in full gear and the Pope was keen to identify any further potential markets for the trade of international slaves.
	On May 1, 1486, King Ferdinand II of Castile, Aragon and Sicily (1479-1516) at the time, awarded a commission to Columbus under the special title of "Governor and Captain-General of the Indies, Islands and Firm-Land of the Ocean Sea " granting him legal powers as governor of any and all new lands and people yet not under the control of the Papacy.
	Columbus rejected the existing design of Papal and Spanish naval vessels as unseaworthy for long voyages and instead had three purpose built craft constructed and were ready to sail in 1492.
	He succeeded in reaching the Caribbean Islands and returned to Spain in 1493 with a number of prisoners and an untold number of his crew carrying the sexually transmitted disease of syphilis which they had contracted from their wholesale raping and molesting the native women and children during their visits.
	During his first voyage, Columbus named the Island Hispaniola and founded the settlement of La Navidad (now Môle Saint-Nicolas) on the north coast of present day Haiti.
	Many of his crew went on to serve in the army of King Charles VIII in his invasion of Italy resulting in the spread of syphlis across Europe.
	On the success of the first voyage, Columbus commissioned seventeen new ships to built for a much larger force and they departed in 1493. Following the disbandment of La Navidad, Columbus quickly founded a second settlement farther east in present day Dominican Republic, La Isabela, which became the first permanent European settlement in the Americas.
	The Papal Troops of Columbus quickly enslaved the entire population of Hispania and under the Governorship of Columbus every manner of vile, satanic, sadistic evil act was done- frequently at the orders of Columbus himself.
	By 1502, word had come that so poor was the Governorship of Columbus of Hispania and the enslaved populations on Hispania alone that had been counted as 500,000 in 1492 was now less than 60,000 and those still living were dying from disease and hunger.
	Fearing the most valuable new found asset of slaves for European industry would be lost under Columbus's incompetent evil, in 1502 Nicolás de Ovando y Cáceres was sent with over thirty ships and 2,500 soldiers to arrest Columbus, establish law and order and protect the slave market.
	Columbus and his brothers who participated in the barbarities of the new world were thrown in prison. He is said to have eventually been released, dying in 1506. However, it is more likely he died soon after his return to Spain by 1503 on account of disasterous management of the Vatican property of slaves.
