What nationality was christopher Columbus?

Answer 1

he was an Asian

Answer 2

He was Italian. He may have been Italian of Spanish, Portuguese or even Jewish decent as some modern revisionist suppose but those suppositions are thinly evidenced and rely mostly on conjecture. We do know that he and his contemporaries considered him Genoses Italian - who were and still are Italians. He was also a Catholic and if he secretly practiced Judaism he hid it extremely well. We have no reason to believe that he was mistaken about his own nationality any more then we might be mistaken about our own nationalities (but you never know).

Answer 3

Spanish. New historical evidence points to his being Spanish. He wrote in Spanish and was married to a Spanish noble woman. He became Italian when the Italians in the 1700's wanted a day like the Irish St. Patrick day, so they picked Columbus to make Columbus Day.
