Maybe some of us already know about the original historical facts about Columbus, a figure known as the discoverer of America. It is time for us to straighten out the history, and hopefully lessons in schools no longer teach the facts wrong.
There are many surprising facts as writers and researchers to uncover the history of Columbus. Curiosity is based on the fact, that every year there is a special day called "Columbus Day" as a memorial of his services so the inventor of the Americas.

We in Indonesia are not directly affected, but the received wisdom in the realm of formal education - how great Columbus - certainly would obscure the truth.Hopefully the teachers and the students may be, do not swallow the contents of history textbooks about Columbus.
Hopefully some of the facts below may open our eyes and understand very well the truth of history. We also attach the links at the end of the text, if you want to investigate further.
1. Do you know what the real reason Columbus went sailing?
Columbus rape the daughter of one of the Spanish nobleman who was aged 13 years. The court ruled he could not be put to death, so that eventually the Queen Isabella sent an exploratory mission to a new continent (when the main goal is to find India) and the hope, Columbus can not go back.
2. Columbus Journal
When finally Columbus first landed in America Blue Continent, he still thinks this is the land of India. At that time the natives greeted Columbus with joy.However, contrary what is written in his journal Columbus?
"They membawakam our parrots, balls of cotton and spears and many other things as a gift. They are willing to trade everything they have ... They do not bear arms, but I showed the sword. They do not have an iron. Their spears are made of cane .. . they will easily become slaves we conquered .... With fifty men, we could subjugate them all and make them do whatever we want. "
Columbus also wrote, "I believe that they would easily be made Christians, because it seemed like they had no religion."
In his diary, Columbus acknowledged that when he arrived in the East Indies (when it was still believed he had found India, not America), he tortured the natives, hanging, flogging, just for the sake of the important information: where there is gold?
Helen Ellerbe, in "The Dark Side of Christian History" (pp. 86-88) describes the savagery of Columbus. In addition to torture, he also frequently raped indigenous women and whipping them for sheer pleasure.
Colonies that brought Columbus to the next cruise (1496) claimed responsibility for the death of 34 million Native Americans. Well, now is it still worth Columbus called the great American inventor character, celebrated world wide with the "Columbus Day"? After learning the facts cruelty itself?
