1492-1504 yillarda italiyalik kashfiyotchi Xristofor Kolumb Ispaniyada joylashgan to'rt kishini boshqargan transatlantik dengiz ekspeditsiyalari Amerika, deyarli ma'lum bo'lmagan va tashqarisida joylashgan kontinental quruqlik Eski dunyo (Afro-Evroosiyo ). Amerikaga ushbu sayohatlar uning mavjudligi haqida keng ma'lumotga olib keldi. Ushbu yutuq "deb nomlangan davrni ochdi Kashfiyot yoshi, ko'rgan Amerika qit'asining mustamlakasi, tegishli biologik almashinuv va transatlantik savdo. Ta'siri va natijalari hozirgi kungacha saqlanib kelayotgan ushbu hodisalar, ba'zida boshlanish sifatida ko'rsatiladi zamonaviy davr.

Yilda tug'ilgan Genuya Respublikasi, Kolumbus a navigator kim suzib ketdi Kastiliya toji (zamonaviyning salafi Ispaniya qirolligi ) ga g'arbiy yo'nalishni qidirishda Hindiston, Sharqiy Osiyo manbai deb o'ylagan ziravorlar va mashaqqatli yo'l bilan olinadigan boshqa qimmatbaho sharq mollari quruqlikdagi yo'nalishlar. Kolumb qisman 13-asr italiyalik kashfiyotchidan ilhomlangan Marko Polo Osiyoni kashf etish niyatida va bu borada omadsizligini hech qachon tan olmagan, tinimsiz uning Sharqiy Hindistonga etib kelganligini tasdiqlovchi dalillarga ishora qilgan va ko'rsatgan. O'shandan beri orollar Karib dengizi deb nomlangan G'arbiy Hindiston.

Kolumbning sayohatlari paytida Amerikada yashagan Mahalliy amerikaliklar. Birinchi aloqadan ko'p o'tmay, Evroosiyo kasalliklari chechak boshladi mahalliy aholini yo'q qilish, ular uchun immunitet yo'q edi. Kolumb ispan tilining boshida qatnashgan tub amerikaliklarni zabt etish jumladan, tomonidan qullik va ularning guruhlariga minglab kishilar bilan shafqatsiz munosabatda bo'lish. Ushbu voqealar haqidagi ba'zi ma'lumotlarning aniq raqamlari va to'g'riligi hali ham munozarali bo'lib kelmoqda, qisman shu sababli da'vo qilingan tarixiy ma'lumotlarga asoslangan dezinformatsiya kampaniyasi.

Kolumbning o'limidan so'ng, 1507 yilda Amerika nomlari berilgan keyin Amerigo Vespuchchi, kim bu qit'alar ekanligini tushundi noyob quruqlik. G'arbga qarab Osiyo tomon yo'l qidirish 1521 yilda, Kastiliya tugagandan so'ng tugallandi Magellan-Elkano ekspeditsiyasi Tinch okeanidan suzib o'tib, etib bordi Janubi-sharqiy Osiyo, Evropaga qaytib kelishdan va dunyoning birinchi aylanib chiqishini yakunlashdan oldin.

Portugaliya qo'shni qirolligi bilan chet elda savdo yo'llarini yurishdan manfaatdor bo'lgan asosiy Evropa kuchi edi Kastiliya - o'tmishdosh Ispaniya - Atlantika okeanini o'rganishni boshlash uchun biroz sekinroq bo'lganligi sababli, er maydoni tufayli Murlar davomida Reconquista. Bu XV asr oxirigacha o'zgarmay qoldi sulolalar ittifoqi qirolichaning nikohi bilan Kastiliyalik Izabella I va qirol Aragonlik Ferdinand II (birgalikda. nomi bilan tanilgan Ispaniya katolik monarxlari ) 1469 yilda va tugallanishi Reconquista 1492 yilda, qachon qo'shma hukmdorlar zabt etilgan The Mavrilar shohligi Granada bilan Kastiliyani ta'minlab kelgan Afrika orqali tovarlar o'lpon. Kolumb ilgari bir nechta monarxlarni, shu jumladan Kingni ishontira olmagan edi Portugaliyalik Jon II va Ispaniyaning katolik monarxlari Osiyoga g'arbiy yo'lni o'rganishni moliyalashtirish uchun. Endigina shakllanib kelayotgan Ispaniya imperiyasi yangi savdo yo'llarini topish va Portugaliyaning Afrika va Hind okeanida ta'minlagan qulfini chetlab o'tish umidida Kolumb ekspeditsiyasini moliyalashtirishga qaror qildi. Aeterni regis.^[2]

Moliyalashtirish kampaniyasi

U qirolga uchta mustahkam kemani jihozlashni taklif qildi va Kolumbga g'arbga Atlantika okeaniga suzib borish uchun g'arbiy yo'l qidirib topishga bir yil vaqt berishni taklif qildi. Hindiston va qaytish. Kolumb shuningdek, uni "Okean dengizining buyuk admirali" (Atlantika okeani) ga aylantirishni, o'zi kashf etgan barcha va boshqa erlarning gubernatori etib tayinlanishini va shu erlardan tushadigan barcha daromadlarning o'ndan birini berishni iltimos qildi. Qirol bu taklifni o'z mutaxassislariga topshirdi, ular bir necha yildan so'ng rad etishdi. Ularning fikricha, Kolumbning 2,400 mil (3,900 km) masofani bosib o'tishi juda qisqa edi.^[3]

1488 yilda Kolumb Portugaliya sudiga murojaat qilib, shoh Ioann II bilan tinglovchilar uchun yangi taklifnoma oldi. Bu ham muvaffaqiyatsiz bo'ldi, chunki qisman ko'p o'tmay Bartolomeu Dias Afrikaning janubiy uchini muvaffaqiyatli aylanib chiqqandan keyin Portugaliyaga qaytdi. Sharqiy dengiz yo'li endi o'z nazorati ostida bo'lganligi sababli, Portugaliya g'arbiy savdo yo'lini noma'lum dengizlarni kesib o'tib, Osiyodan o'tib ketishdan manfaatdor emas edi.^[4] Kolumbus ekspeditsiyani moliyalashtirish uchun Ispaniyaning katolik monarxlarini ishontirish uchun Kastiliyaga bordi.

Ispaniyalik xaridlar

1486 yilda Kolumb katolik monarxlari bilan tinglovchilarga taqdim etildi va u o'zining rejalarini Izabellanga taqdim etdi. U bularni qo'mitaga yubordi, u Kolumbning Osiyo bilan masofani qo'pol ravishda kamsitganligini aniqladi. Ushbu g'oyani amaliy emas deb e'lon qilib, ular monarxlarga taklif qilingan loyihani qo'llab-quvvatlamaslikni maslahat berishdi. Kolumbni o'z g'oyalarini boshqa joyga olib ketmaslik uchun va ehtimol ularning imkoniyatlarini ochiq qoldirish uchun katolik monarxlari unga 14000 ga yaqin nafaqa berishdi marvedís yil uchun yoki dengizchining yillik maoshi to'g'risida.^[5] 1489 yil may oyida malika unga yana 10 000 yubordi marvedislarva o'sha yili monarxlar unga o'zlarining tasarrufidagi barcha shahar va qishloqlarni bepul oziq-ovqat va turar joy bilan ta'minlashlarini buyurib, unga maktub berdilar.^[6]

Doimiy ravishda ko'plab shohliklarni lobbi qilishdan keyin Kolumb chaqirildi Ispaniya sudi yangilangan muhokamalar uchun.^[7] Qirolicha Izabellaning kuchlari endigina mavritlarni zabt etishgan edi Granada amirligi Kastiliya uchun. Kolumb Ferdinand va Izabella zabt etgan 1492 yil yanvarigacha qirol Ferdinand lagerida kutgan Granada, oxirgi musulmon qal'asi Iberiya yarim orolida. Izabellaning tan oluvchisi boshchiligidagi kengash, Hernando de Talavera, erishish uchun Kolumbning taklifini topdi Hindiston aqlga sig'maydigan. Ferdinand aralashganida Kolumb Frantsiyaga jo'nab ketdi,^[b] birinchi bo'lib Talavera va Bishopni yubordi Diego Deza qirolichaga murojaat qilish.^[8] Izabellani oxir-oqibat qirol xizmatchisi ishontirdi Luis de Santagel, Kolumb o'z g'oyalarini boshqa joyga olib kelishini ta'kidlab, mablag 'ajratishda yordam berishni taklif qildi.^[c] Keyin Izabella Kordova tomon bir necha kilometr yurgan Kolumbni olib kelish uchun qirol qo'riqchisini yubordi.^[8]

1492 yil aprelda "Santa Fe shahrining kapitulyatsiyasi ", Kolumbga unga" Okean dengizining admirali "unvoni berilishi va tayinlanishi va'da qilingan noib va hokim toj uchun yangi da'vo qilingan va mustamlaka qilinganlarning; agar u muvaffaqiyat qozongan bo'lsa, u yangi erlardan tushumning o'n foizini abadiy oladi.^[10] U yangi erlardagi har qanday lavozimga suverenlar birini tanlaydigan uch kishini tayinlash huquqiga ega edi. Shartlar g'ayrioddiy saxovatli edi, ammo keyinchalik uning o'g'li yozganidek, monarxlar uning qaytishiga ishonchlari komil emas edi.

Navigatsiya rejalari

Kolumbning davridagi ko'plab evropaliklar yagona, uzluksiz okean Evropa va Osiyoni ajratib turar edi, garchi Norvegiya tadqiqotchilari Shimoliy Amerikaning mustamlaka hududlari Grenlandiyadan boshlanadi v. 986.^[11][12] Shimoliy Amerikada yuzlab yillar davomida Norvegiya mavjudligidan so'ng,^[13] 1420 yilda, ba'zilari Inuit asirlarni va ularning kayoklarini olib ketishdi Skandinaviya.^[14]

Evropa uzoq vaqtdan beri quruqlikdan xavfsiz o'tishni yaxshi ko'rardi Xitoy va Hindiston - kabi tovarlarning manbalari ipak, ziravorlar va afyun -ostida gegemonlik ning Mo'g'ul imperiyasi (the Pax Mongolica, yoki Mo'g'ullar tinchligi). Bilan Konstantinopolning qulashi turk tiliga Usmonli imperiyasi 1453 yilda Osiyoga quruqlik yo'li ( Ipak yo'li ) nasroniy savdogarlar taqiqlangani sababli qiyinlashdi.^[15] Bunga javoban, 1480-yillarda Kristofer va uning ukasi Bartolomey ga sayohat qilish rejasini ishlab chiqqan edi Hindiston (keyin taxminan butun Janubiy va Sharqiy Osiyo kabi talqin qilingan) Atlantika okeanining yagona "Okean dengizi" deb hisoblangan joyidan to'g'ridan-to'g'ri g'arbga suzib. Taxminan 1481 yilga kelib, Florentsiya kosmograf Paolo dal Pozzo Toskanelli Kolumbga afsonaviy oroldan boshqa vositachisi bo'lmagan bunday marshrutni tasvirlaydigan xaritani yubordi Antiliya.^[16] 1484 yilda orolda La Gomera ichida Kanareykalar, keyin o'tmoqda Kastiliya tomonidan bosib olinishi, Kolumb ba'zi aholidan eshitgan El-Yerro g'arbda bir guruh orollar bo'lishi kerak edi.^[17]

A mashhur noto'g'ri tushunchalar Kolumb o'zining rejasi uchun yordam olishda qiynalganligi sababli Evropaliklar deb o'yladi Yer tekis edi 17-asrda protestantlarning katolikizmga qarshi olib borgan kampaniyasida kuzatilishi mumkin,^[18] kabi asarlarida ommalashgan Vashington Irving Kolumbning 1828 yilgi tarjimai holi.^[19] Aslida, bu bilim Yer sharsimon ning umumiy fikri bo'lgan, keng tarqalgan edi Qadimgi yunoncha ilm-fan va butun davomida qo'llab-quvvatlash O'rta yosh (masalan, Bede buni eslatib o'tadi Vaqtni hisoblash). Kolumb davridagi ibtidoiy dengiz navigatsiyasi ham yulduzlarga, ham Yerning egriligiga tayangan.^[20][21]

Yerning diametri va sayohat masofalarini taxmin qilish

Kolumbning geografik tushunchalari

Eratosfen miloddan avvalgi II asrda Yerning diametrini aniqlik bilan o'lchagan edi,^[22] va uning diametrini an yordamida hisoblash vositalari astrolabe ham olimlarga, ham navigatorlarga ma'lum bo'lgan.^[20] Kolumb o'z davrining umumiy qabul qilingan nuqtai nazaridan farq qiladigan joyda, Yerga nisbatan kichikroq diametrni noto'g'ri taxmin qilishda, Osiyoga Atlantika bo'ylab g'arbga suzib borish orqali osonlikcha erishish mumkin deb da'vo qilgan. Ko'pgina olimlar qabul qildilar Ptolomey buni to'g'ri baholash quruqlikdagi quruqlik (vaqt evropaliklari uchun, o'z ichiga olgan Evroosiyo va Afrika ) 180 ni egallagan daraja Kolumbning Yer juda kichkina, Osiyo esa atigi bir necha ming edi, degan da'vosini rad etdi. dengiz millari Evropaning g'arbiy qismida.^[23]

"Kolumb xaritasi" chizilgan v. 1490 yilda Bartolomeo va Kristofer Kolumb ustaxonasida Lissabon.^[24]

Lotin nashrida Kristofer Kolumbning qo'lyozma yozuvlari Marko Polo "s Le livre des merveilles

Kolumb, noto'g'ri hisob-kitoblarga ishongan Tirning Marinusi, quruqlikni 225 darajaga qo'yib, faqat 135 daraja suv qoldirdi.^[25][23] Bundan tashqari, Kolumb kam baholagan Alfraganus daraja uzunligini hisoblash, arab astronomi yozuvlarini o'qish o'rniga Arabcha mil (taxminan 1830 m), u ishlatgan Italiya milya (taxminan 1480 metr). Alfraganus bir daraja uzunligini 56⅔ arab miliga (66,2 dengiz miliga) teng deb hisoblagan edi.^[23] Shuning uchun Kolumb Yerning o'lchamini Eratosfen hisobiga taxminan 75%, Kanar orollaridan Yaponiyagacha bo'lgan masofani 2400 dengiz miliga (haqiqiy raqamning taxminan 23%) teng deb hisoblagan.^[26]

Savdo shamollari

Kolumbning rejalarida muhim ahamiyatga ega bo'lgan yana bir muhim element bor edi, bu Kolumb tomonidan kashf etilgan yoki boshqa yo'l bilan o'rganilgan yaqindan tasdiqlangan haqiqat: savdo shamollari. Odatda "sharqiy" deb nomlangan sharqdan g'arbga qarab kuchli shamol Afrikaning Kanar orollaridan besh hafta davomida birinchi safar kemalarini harakatga keltirdi. Ushbu kuchli shamolga qarshi sharqiy Ispaniyaga qaytish uchun shamolga qarshi bir necha oylik mashaqqatli suzib yurish texnikasi kerak edi. urish, bu vaqt davomida oziq-ovqat va ichimlik suvi to'liq tugagan bo'lar edi. Kolumbus Shimoliy Atlantika janubiy zonasidan shimoliy Atlantika okeanining o'rta kengliklariga qadar bo'lgan shimoliy-sharqiy yo'nalishdagi shamollarni kuzatib uyga qaytib keldi, u erda ustun shamollar sharqqa (g'arbiy tomonga) qirg'oqlariga to'g'ri keladi. G'arbiy Evropa, shamollar Iberiya yarim oroliga qarab janubga buriladi. Shuning uchun u Shimoliy Atlantika dengizining katta aylana chizig'idan soat yo'nalishi bo'yicha o'z sayohatining ikkala oyog'ida ham foydalangan.^[27][28]

Sayohatlar va tegishli voqealar

Kapitan Kolumbning kemalari ensaytasi.

Birinchi safar (1492–1493)

Uning g'arbiy sayohati uchun qisqa yo'lni topish uchun Sharq, Kolumb va uning ekipaji uchta o'rta kemani olib ketishdi, ulardan eng kattasi a karrak (Ispaniya: nao), the Santa-Mariya egalik qilgan va kapitan bo'lgan Xuan de la Koza va Kolumbning bevosita qo'mondonligi ostida.^[29][d] Qolgan ikkitasi kichikroq edi karavallar; birining ismi yo'qolgan, ammo Kastiliya laqabi bilan tanilgan Pinta ("bo'yalgan"). Boshqa, the Santa Klara, laqabini olgan Nina ('qiz'), ehtimol uning egasi, moguerlik Xuan Ninoga tegishli.^[30] The Pinta va Nina tomonidan boshqarilgan Birodarlar Pinzon (Martin Alonso va Visente Yanes navbati bilan).^[29] 1492 yil 3-avgust kuni ertalab Kolumb jo'nab ketdi Palos de la Frontera, pastga tushish Rio Tinto va Atlantika okeaniga.^[31][32]

Xristofor Kolumb o'zining kemasida Karl fon Piloti tomonidan tasvirlangan

Safardan uch kun o'tgach, 1492 yil 6-avgustda Pinta buzildi.^[33] Martin Alonso Pinzon sabotaj kemasi egalaridan gumon qildi, chunki ular sayohatga chiqishdan qo'rqishgan. Ekipaj 9 avgust kuni etib kelgan Kanar orollariga etib borguncha rulni arqonlar bilan bog'lashga muvaffaq bo'ldi.^[34] The Pinta orolida rulni almashtirgan edi Gran-Kanariya va 2 sentyabrga qadar kemalar La Gomerada uchrashdi, u erda Nina's kechiktirish yelkanlar standart kvadrat suzib yurish uchun qayta tiklandi.^[35] Yakuniy qoidalar ta'minlandi va 6 sentyabr kuni kemalar jo'nab ketishdi San-Sebastyan-de-Gomera^[35][36] chunki Atlantika bo'ylab besh hafta davom etgan g'arbiy safarga aylandi.

Ning avtoreferatida tasvirlanganidek uning jurnali tamonidan qilingan Bartolome de las Casas, Kolumb tashqi tomon safarda ikkita masofani qayd etdi: biri odatdagidek o'lchovlarda, ikkinchisi esa uning ekipaji foydalanadigan portugal dengiz ligalarida. Dastlab Las Kasas u Ispaniyadan uzoqroq suzib ketishidan xavotirlanmasliklari uchun ekipajiga qisqa masofalar haqida xabar bergan deb talqin qilgan, ammo Oliver Dann va Jeyms Kelli bu tushunmovchilik ekanligini ta'kidlashgan.^[37]

1492 yil 13 sentyabrda Kolumb o'zining kompasining ignasi endi ko'rsatmasligini kuzatdi Shimoliy yulduz. Bir vaqtlar Kolumb kashf etgan deb ishonishgan magnit moyillik, ammo keyinchalik bu hodisa Evropada ham, Xitoyda ham allaqachon ma'lum bo'lganligi ko'rsatildi.^[38][e]

Amerikaning qayta kashf etilishi

Birinchi safar (taxminiy).^[a] Zamonaviy joy nomlari qora rangda, Kolumbning joy nomlari ko'k rangda

29 kun quruqlikdan ko'z yumgandan so'ng, 1492 yil 7 oktyabrda ekipaj "qushlarning suruvini" ko'rdi, ularning ba'zi dengizchilari tuzoqqa tushishdi va "dala" qushlari bo'lishlarini aniqladilar (ehtimol Eskimo jingalaklari va Amerikalik oltin ziraklar ). Kolumbus ularning parvozini kuzatib borish uchun yo'nalishni o'zgartirdi.^[42]

11 oktyabrda Kolumb parkning yo'nalishini g'arbga qarab o'zgartirdi va tez orada er topilishiga ishonib, tun bo'yi suzib ketdi. Kechki soat 10:00 atrofida Kolumb "kichkina mum shamchasi ko'tarilib tushayotgani kabi" yorug'likni ko'rgan deb o'ylagan.^[43][f] To'rt soatdan keyin quruqlikni dengizchi ko'rdi Rodrigo de Triana (shuningdek, Xuan Rodriges Bermexo nomi bilan tanilgan) La Pinta.^[44][g] Triana zudlik bilan baqiriq bilan ekipajning qolgan a'zolarini ogohlantirdi va kema kapitani Martin Alonso Pinzon quruqlikni ko'rishni tasdiqladi va Kolumbni o'q uzib ogohlantirdi. lombard.^[45][h] Keyinchalik Kolumb birinchi marta erni ko'rganini va shu tariqa va'da qilingan yillik 10 000 mukofotni olganini ta'kidlaydi marvedís.^[46][47]

Kolumb bu orolni hozirgi kunda San-Salvador deb atagan Bagama orollari yoki Turklar va Kaykos; The mahalliy aholi uni nomlagan edi Guanaxani.^[48] Ga binoan Samuel Eliot Morison, San-Salvador oroli^[men] bu Kolumb jurnalida ko'rsatilgan yagona orol.^[41][j] Kolumb 1492 yil 12 oktyabrdagi jurnalida birinchi marta duch kelgan mahalliy aholi haqida shunday yozgan:

Men ko'rgan erkaklarning ko'pchiligining tanalarida chandiqlar bor edi va bu qanday sodir bo'lganligini bilish uchun ularga imo-ishora qilganimda, ular boshqa orollardan odamlar ularni qo'lga olish uchun San-Salvadorga kelishganini ko'rsatdilar; ular o'zlarini qo'llaridan kelganicha himoya qiladilar. Men materikdan odamlar ularni qul qilib olish uchun bu erga kelishlariga ishonaman. Ular yaxshi va malakali xizmatchilarni tayyorlashlari kerak edi, chunki biz ularga nima deyishimizni tezda takrorlaydilar. O'ylaymanki, ularni juda osonlikcha xristian qilish mumkin, chunki ularning dinlari yo'q. Agar bu bizning Rabbimizga ma'qul kelsa, men ulardan oltitasini hazratlari huzuriga jo'nab ketaman, toki ular bizning tilimizni o'rganishsin.^[50]

Kolumbning erni egallashini da'vo qilgan tasviri karavallar, Nina va Pinta

Kolumb mahalliy amerikaliklarni chaqirdi indios (Ispancha "hindular" uchun)^[51][52][53] u Sharqiy Hindistonga yetib kelgan degan xayolda;^[54] orollari Karib dengizi deb nomlanadi G'arbiy Hindiston ushbu xatodan keyin. Dastlab Kolumbus bilan uchrashdi Lucayan, Taíno va Aravak xalqlar.^[k] Ularning qulog'idagi tilla taqinchoqlarini ta'kidlab, Kolumb Aravaklarning bir qismini asirga oldi va ularni oltinning manbasiga olib borishni talab qildi.^[56] Kolumbning ta'kidlashicha, ularning ibtidoiy qurollari va harbiy taktikalari mahalliy aholini osonlikcha zabt etishga moyil qildi.^[l]

Kolumb odamlarni va ularning madaniy turmush tarzini kuzatishga kirishdi. Shuningdek, shimoliy-sharqiy sohillarini o'rganib chiqdi Kuba, 1492 yil 28 oktyabrda qo'nish va shimoliy-g'arbiy sohil Hispaniola, Bugungi kun Gaiti, 1492 yil 5-dekabrgacha. Mana, Santa Mariya quruqlikka yugurdi Rojdestvo kuni, 1492 yil 25-dekabr va tark etilishi kerak edi. Kolumbni mahalliy aholi qabul qildi cacique Guakanagari, kim unga ba'zi odamlarini tashlab ketishga ruxsat berdi. Kolumb tarjimon bilan birga 39 kishini tark etdi Luis de Torres,^[57][m] va aholi punktiga asos solgan La Navidad.^[58] U Pinzon va .ga duch kelguniga qadar u bitta kema bilan Hispaniolaning shimoliy sohilida suzib yurishda davom etdi Pinta 6 yanvarda.

1493 yil 13-yanvarda Kolumb ushbu sayohatni so'nggi qit'asida Amerika qit'asida qildi Rincon ko'rfazi ning sharqiy qismida Samana yarim oroli shimoli-sharqda Hispaniola.^[59] U erda u Ciguayos, uning Amerikaga birinchi safari paytida zo'ravon qarshilik ko'rsatgan yagona mahalliy aholi.^[60] Ciguayosliklar Kolumb xohlagan kamon va o'qlarni sotishdan bosh tortdilar; Keyingi to'qnashuvda bir Ciguayo dumba qismiga pichoq bilan urilgan, ikkinchisi esa ko'kragiga o'q bilan yaralangan.^[61] Shu sababli va Ciguayos o'qlarini ishlatganligi sababli, u ularni uchratgan joyni "chaqirdi" Oklar ko'rfazi (yoki Oklar ko'rfazi).^[62] 1493 yil 16-yanvarda uyga sayohat boshlandi.^[63]

Bortga o'tirgan to'rtta mahalliy aholi Nina da Samana yarim oroli deb talqin qilingan narsani Kolumbga aytib berdi Isla de Karib (ehtimol Puerto-Riko ) odamxo'rlar tomonidan yashashi kerak edi Kariblar, shu qatorda; shu bilan birga Matinino, faqat ayollar yashaydigan orol, bu Kolumb uni Hind okeanidagi orol bilan bog'lagan Marko Polo tasvirlab bergan edi.^[64]

Birinchi qaytish

Ispaniyaga qaytib kelayotganda Nina va Pinta safarlaridagi eng qo'pol bo'ronga duch keldi va 13 fevralga o'tar kechasi bir-biri bilan aloqani uzdi. Barcha qo'llar Nina agar ular saqlanib qolsalar, qaerda birinchi marta erga tushgan bo'lsalar ham, Xonimimizning eng yaqin cherkoviga haj qilishlariga va'da berishdi. 15 fevral kuni ertalab quruqlik aniqlandi. Kolumb ularga yaqinlashayotganiga ishongan Azor orollari, ammo ekipajning boshqa a'zolari orollardan ancha shimolda ekanliklarini his qilishdi. Kolumb to'g'ri bo'lib chiqdi. 17-fevralga o'tar kechasi Nina langar qo'ydi Santa-Mariya oroli, ammo kabel keskin toshlarda sinib, Kolumbni ertalabgacha offshorda turishga majbur qildi, shu paytgacha yaqinroqqa langar tashlab qo'yilgan xavfsizroq joy topildi. Bir nechta dengizchilar orolga qayiqni olib ketishdi, u erda bir nechta orolliklar ularga hali ham xavfsizroq joyni qo'nishni aytishdi, shuning uchun Nina yana bir bor harakat qildi. Bu erda Kolumb qirg'oqqa oziq-ovqat bilan yig'ilgan bir nechta orolliklarni olib, ularga ekipajning va'dasini bajarish uchun qirg'oqqa kelishni istashlarini aytdi. Orolliklar unga Ayolimizga bag'ishlangan kichik ziyoratgoh yaqin joyda ekanligini aytishdi.^[65]

Kolumb ekipaj a'zolarining yarmini va'dasini bajarish uchun orolga yubordi, ammo u va boshqa ekipaj Ninada qoldi, birinchi ekipaj a'zolari qaytib kelgandan keyin qolgan yarmini orolga jo'natishni rejalashtirdilar. Birinchi ekipaj a'zolari ma'badda ibodat qilayotganda, orol kapitanining buyrug'i bilan orolliklar tomonidan asirga olindi, João de Castanheira, go'yo erkaklarning qaroqchi ekanligidan qo'rqib. Keyinchalik ekipaj a'zolari orolga olib ketgan qayiqni Kastanheira boshqargan va u bir necha qurollangan odam bilan birga Nina, Kolumbni hibsga olishga urinishda. Ikkala hunarmandning kamonlari bo'ylab og'zaki jang paytida, Kolumb unga kemaga kelishiga ruxsat bermagan, Kastanheira Kolumbning kimligini aytganiga ishonmasligini yoki qiziqtirmasligini, ayniqsa u haqiqatan ham Ispaniyadan bo'lsa. Kastanheira orolga qaytib keldi. Biroq, yana ikki kundan so'ng, Kastanheira mahbuslarni ozod qildi, chunki ulardan iqror bo'la olmadi va o'zining haqiqiy nishoni Kolumbni qo'lga kirita olmadi. Keyinchalik Kolumbni ham qo'lga olishgan degan da'volar mavjud, ammo bu Kolumbning jurnal kitobi bilan tasdiqlanmagan.^[65]

23-fevral kuni Azor orolidagi Santa-Mariya orolidan chiqib, Kolumb Ispaniyaning Kastiliya tomon yo'l oldi, ammo yana bir bo'ron uni majbur qildi Lissabon. U 1493 yil 4 martda qirol porti qo'riqlash kemasi yonida langar tashlagan, u erda 100 karavaldan iborat parki bo'ronda yo'qolganligini aytishgan. Ajablanarlisi shundaki, ikkalasi ham Nina va Pinta qutulgan edi. Lissabonda Portugaliya qiroli Ioann II ni topolmagan Kolumb unga xat yozdi va qirolning javobini kutdi. Xatni olgach, qirol Kolumb bilan uchrashishga rozi bo'ldi Vale do Parayso o'sha paytda Portugaliya va Kastiliya o'rtasidagi munosabatlarning yomonligiga qaramay. Kolumbning kashfiyotlari to'g'risida xabar topgach, Portugaliya qiroli unga ushbu sayohatni 1479 yilni buzgan deb hisoblashini ma'lum qildi. Alkachovas shartnomasi. Portugaliyada bir haftadan ko'proq vaqtni o'tkazgandan so'ng, Kolumb Ispaniyaga suzib ketdi. Kolumb Ferdinand va Izabella bilan uchrashdi "Barselona" 1493 yil 15-martda uning topilmalari to'g'risida xabar berish uchun.^[n]

Kolumb o'z safaridan monarxlarga qaytarib olib kelgan narsalarini, shu jumladan bir nechta kichik oltin namunalarini namoyish etdi, marvaridlar, mahalliy aholidan tilla taqinchoqlar, u o'g'irlab olgan bir nechta Taíno, gullar va hamak. U monarxlarga bir nechta tilla uzumchalar, tilla taqinchoqlar va marvaridlarni, shuningdek ilgari noma'lum bo'lgan tamaki o'simliklarini, ananas mevasini, kurka va hamakni berdi. Monarxlar Kolumbni ular bilan birga ovqatlanishga taklif qilishdi.^[o] U juda qimmat bo'lgan qora qalampir, zanjabil yoki chinnigullar kabi istalgan Hindiston ziravorlarini olib kelmadi. O'zining jurnalida u "ají" ni ham ko'paytiradi, bu ularning qalampiri, bu qora qalampirdan ham qimmatroq, va hamma boshqa narsalarni iste'mol qilmaydi, bu juda foydali ".^[66][p]

Amerikaga birinchi marta qo'ngach, Kolumb monarxlarga taklif qilib, xat yozgan edi qul qilmoq ba'zi mahalliy amerikaliklar.^[l] Garchi Kariblar suveren davlatning qonnibalizm va tinch Tinoga nisbatan tajovuzkorligi sababli bunday muomala uchun talablarini qondirgan bo'lishsa-da, Kolumb hali ham ularni qondira olmagan va faqat Tinosni suverenlar oldiga olib kelgan.^[67] Yilda Kolumbning birinchi sayohat haqidagi maktubi, Ispaniya sudiga murojaat qilib, Osiyoga etib kelganini ta'kidlab, Hispaniola orolini Xitoy qirg'og'i yaqinida deb ta'rifladi. U erning potentsial boyligini va mahalliy aholi nasroniylikni qabul qilishga tayyor ko'rinishini ta'kidladi.^[68] Ko'p tillarga tarjima qilingan va keng tarqalgan ushbu xatdagi tavsiflar,^[69] idealizatsiya qilindi, xususan taxmin qilingan oltin miqdori bo'yicha:

Kolumb qaytganidan so'ng, ko'pchilik odamlar dastlab uning Sharqiy Hindistonga, shu jumladan suveren va Papa Aleksandr VI,^[54] Vatikanga 1493 yil 1-noyabrda yozilgan xatda ham tarixchi Piter shahid Kolumbni a ning kashfiyotchisi deb ta'riflagan Novi Orbis ('Yangi Globus ').^[71] Papa to'rtta buqani chiqardi (ularning uchtasi umumiy sifatida tanilgan Xayriya buqalari ), qanday qilib aniqlash uchun Ispaniya va Portugaliya mustamlaka bo'lar edi va yangi erlarning o'ljalarini taqsimlang. Inter caetera 1493 yil 4-mayda chiqarilgan bo'lib, Evropadan tashqarida dunyoni Ispaniya va Portugaliya o'rtasida Azor orollari yoki g'arbdan shimoliy-janubiy meridian 100 ligalari bo'ylab ajratdi. Kabo-Verde Atlantika orolidagi orollar, shuning uchun Ispaniyaga Kolumb tomonidan kashf etilgan barcha erlarni berish.^[72] 1494 Tordesilla shartnomasi, tomonidan keyingi o'n yillikda tasdiqlangan Papa Yuliy II, ajratish chizig'ini Azor orollari yoki Kabo-Verde g'arbidan 370 ligaga ko'chirdi.^[73]

Ikkinchi safar (1493–1496)

Kolumbning ikkinchi sayohati

Ikkinchi safarning belgilangan maqsadi mahalliy amerikaliklarni nasroniylikka qabul qilish edi. Kolumb Ispaniyani tark etishidan oldin u Ferdinand va Izabella tomonidan mahalliy aholi bilan do'stona, hatto mehribon munosabatlarni saqlashga yo'naltirilgan.^[74] U suzib ketdi Kadis, Ispaniya, 1493 yil 25-sentabrda.^[75]

Ikkinchi safar uchun park juda katta edi: ikkitasi naos va 15 karavil. Ikki naos flagmani edi Marigalante ("Gallant Meri")^[q] va Gallega; karavallar edi Fraila ("Rahibe"), San-Xuan, Kolina ("Tepalik"), Gallarda ("Gallant"), Gutyer, Bonial, Rodriga, Triana, Vieja ("Eski"), Prieta ("Jigarrang"), Gorda ("Yog '"), Karderava Quintera.^[76] The Nina nomli kemani ham o'z ichiga olgan ushbu ekspeditsiyaga qaytdi Pinta ehtimol, birinchi ekspeditsiyadagi bilan bir xil. Bundan tashqari, ekspeditsiya Amerikadagi birinchi kemaning qurilishini ko'rdi Santa-Kruz yoki Hindiston.^[77]

Karib havzalarini o'rganish

1493 yil 3-noyabrda Kristofer Kolumb o'zi nomlagan orolning qo'pol qirg'og'iga tushdi Dominika. Xuddi shu kuni u qo'ndi Mari-Galante u Santa Mariya la Galante deb nomlagan. Les Saintes (Todos los Santos) yonidan suzib o'tib, u Gvadelupaga (Santa María de Guadalupe) etib keldi, u 1493 yil 4-noyabrdan 10-noyabrgacha o'rganib chiqdi. Uning sayohatining aniq yo'nalishi Kichik Antil orollari munozara qilinmoqda, ammo u ehtimol shimolga burilib, ko'plab orollarni va Santa-Mariya-de-Montserratni nomlagan (Montserrat ), Santa-Mariya la Antigua (Antigua ), Santa-Mariya la Redonda (Avliyo Martin ) va Santa Cruz (Avliyo Kroy ). Shuningdek, u "Santa Ursula y las Once Mil Vírgenes" ning orol zanjirini ko'rdi va unga nom berdi. Virgin orollari ) va Virgen Gorda orollariga nom berdi.

Santa-Kruzda evropaliklar bir necha kariblik erkaklar va ikki ayol bilan kanoeni ko'rdilar. Ularning ikkita erkak asirlari bor edi va ularni yaqinda kastatsiya qilishgan edi. Evropaliklar ularni ta'qib qilishdi va erkaklar va ayollar o'qlari bilan uchrashishdi,^[78] kamida bitta odamni o'ldirish. Evropaliklar kanoeda yashovchilarning barchasini o'ldirishdi yoki qo'lga olishdi, boshini kesib o'ldirishdi.^[79] Boshqasi dengizga tashlandi va u ichakni ushlab yurib sudralayotganini ko'rganda, Aravaklar o'z qabilasini ogohlantirmasligi uchun uni qaytarib olishni tavsiya qildilar; u yana dengizga tashlandi va keyin o'qlar bilan urib tushirilishi kerak edi.^[78][r] Kolumbning bolalikdagi do'sti Mishel da Kuneo to'qnashuvda bo'lgan ayollardan birini oldi, uni Kolumb qul sifatida saqlashga ruxsat berdi. Keyinchalik Cuneo uni kaltakladi va zo'rladi.^{[79][78][lar]}

Filo davom etdi Buyuk Antil orollari va 1493 yil 19-noyabrda hozirgi Puerto-Rikodagi San-Xuan Bautista oroliga tushdi. Diego Alvarez Chanca bu orolda evropaliklar ba'zi ayollarni mahalliy kariblar saqlagan kamida 20 kishilik guruhdan qutqarganini eslaydi. jinsiy qullar. Ayollarning ta'kidlashicha, asirga olingan har qanday erkak egan, va o'zlarining erkak avlodlari kastratsiya qilingan va ular kariblik yoshiga yetguncha xizmat qilish uchun yaxshi qilingan. Evropaliklar ushbu o'g'illardan uchtasini qutqarishdi.^[81]

Hispaniola va Yamayka

22-noyabr kuni Kolumb Hispaniolaga qaytib keldi, u erda La Navidaddagi odamlari ichki makonda mahalliy aholi bilan tortishib qolgan va o'ldirilgan, ammo u o'z ittifoqchisi bo'lgan Bosh Guakanagarini hech qanday qonunbuzarlikda ayblamagan. Ism bilan atalgan yana bir boshliq Caonabo Maguana shahrida ayblangan. Kolumbus yangi aholi punktini tashkil etdi La Isabela, birinchi bo'lib oltin topilgan Hispaniolaning shimoliy qirg'og'ida, ammo u kambag'al joy edi va turar-joy qisqa muddatli edi. U bir oz vaqt orolning ichki qismini oltinga qidirib topdi. Ba'zilarini topib, u ichki qismida kichik bir qal'a o'rnatdi.

Kolumb 1494 yil 24-aprelda Hispaniolani tark etib, Kuba oroliga (u o'zi nomlagan) etib keldi Juana birinchi safari paytida) 30 aprel va Discovery Bay, Yamayka, 5-may kuni u Kubaning janubiy qirg'og'ini o'rganib chiqdi, u orol emas, balki Xitoyning yarim oroli deb hisobladi va La Evangelista (shu jumladan yaqin atrofdagi orollarni) Yoshlik oroli ), 20 avgustda Hispaniolaga qaytib kelishdan oldin, hozirgi Gaitining g'arbiy qismida bir muncha vaqt turgandan so'ng u nihoyat Ispaniyaga qaytib keldi.

Qullik, ko'chmanchilar va o'lpon

Kolumb qirolicha Izabellaning Marko Polo tomonidan mashhur bo'lgan Uzoq Sharq shaharlari bilan savdo shoxobchalarini tashkil etishini rejalashtirgan edi, ammo Ipak yo'li va sharqiy dengiz yo'llari uning toj savdosi uchun to'sib qo'yilgan edi. Biroq, Kolumb hech qachon topa olmaydi Ketay (Xitoy) yoki Zipangu (Yaponiya ), va endi Buyuk yo'q edi Xon savdo shartnomalari uchun.

1494 yilda Kolumb yubordi Alonso de Ojeda (uni zamondoshi "har doim urush yoki janjal bo'lgan joyda qonni tortadigan birinchi odam" deb ta'riflagan) Sibao (oltin qazib olinadigan joyda),^[82] natijada Ojeda o'g'rilikda ayblanib bir necha mahalliy aholini qo'lga oldi. Ojeda bir fuqaroning quloqlarini kesib tashladi, boshqalarini esa zanjirband qilib La Izabelaga jo'natdi, u erda Kolumb ularga buyruq berdi boshi kesilgan.^[83] Qisqa hukmronligi davrida Kolumb kichik jinoyatlar uchun Ispaniya kolonistlarini qatl etdi va ulardan foydalangan qismlarga ajratish jazoning yana bir shakli sifatida.^[84] 1494 yil oxiriga kelib kasallik va ocharchilik Ispaniya ko'chmanchilarining uchdan ikki qismini talab qildi.^[85][86] Nahuatl tilidagi akkaunt bilan birga kelgan ijtimoiy tanazzul tasvirlangan pandemiya: "Ko'pchilik bu vabodan vafot etdi, boshqalari esa ochlikdan vafot etdi. Ular oziq-ovqat izlash uchun o'rnidan turolmadilar, qolganlari esa ularga qarashga ojiz edilar, shuning uchun ular yotoqlarida ochlikdan o'ldilar."^[87]

1494 yilga kelib Kolumb o'zining vitse-prezidentligini Margarit ismli harbiy ofitserlaridan biri bilan bo'lishib, unga mahalliy aholini xristianlashtirishni birinchi o'ringa qo'yishni buyurdi, ammo o'g'rilik uchun ularning burunlari va quloqlarining bu qismi kesilishi kerak. Margarit odamlari mahalliy aholini kaltaklash, zo'rlash va qullik bilan ekspluatatsiya qilishgan, Hispaniolada esa yana ikki yil suvga cho'mishmagan. Kolumbning akasi Diyego Margaritni admiralning buyrug'iga amal qilishini ogohlantirdi, bu esa uni uchta karvelni Ispaniyaga qaytarishga undadi. Suvga cho'mdirishi kerak bo'lgan Fray Buil Margaritga hamroh bo'ldi. 1494 yil oxirlarida Ispaniyaga kelganidan keyin Buil aka-uka Kolumbusning Ispaniya sudiga shikoyat qildi va u erda oltin yo'q edi. G'arbda qolgan Margaritning bir guruh askarlari mahalliy aholini shafqatsizlarcha davom ettirmoqdalar. Buni taqiqlash o'rniga, Kolumb tub aholini qul qilishda ishtirok etdi.^[88] 1495 yil fevralda u 1500 aravaklarni egallab oldi, ularning ba'zilari mustamlakachilar zulmiga qarshi bosh ko'targan,^[56][89] va ularning ko'plari keyinchalik ozod qilingan yoki Kariblar tomonidan olib ketilgan.^[90] O'sha oy Kolumb bu amerikaliklarning taxminan 500 nafarini qul sifatida sotish uchun Ispaniyaga jo'natdi; taxminan 40% yo'lda vafot etdi,^[56][89] Qolganlarning yarmi kelganda kasal edi. O'sha yilning iyun oyida Ispaniya toji Hispanioldagi koloniyaga kemalar va mollarni jo'natdi, bu florentsiyalik savdogar Janotto Berardi sotib olishga yordam bergan.^[91][t] Oktyabr oyida Berardi deyarli 40,000 oldi marvedís yoki odamxo'rlar yoki mahbuslar deb da'vo qilingan qullarning qiymati.^[91][u]

Hispaniolaning mahalliy aholisi muntazam ravishda bo'ysundirilgan encomienda tizim Kolumb amalga oshirildi.^[93] Ispaniyadan moslashtirilib, O'rta asr Evropasidagi feodal tuzumga o'xshab ketdi, chunki u lordning "himoya" ni taklif qilgan lordga asoslangan edi qarzdor mehnat.^[94] Bundan tashqari, Kolumb boshqaruvi ostidagi ispan mustamlakachilari mahalliy aholini qul sifatida sotib olish va sotishni boshladilar, shu jumladan bolalar.^[95] Kolumbning majburiy mehnat tizimini uning o'g'li Ferdinand tasvirlab bergan: «Oltin qazib olinadigan Cibao shahrida o'n to'rt yosh va undan yuqori bo'lgan har bir kishi katta qirg'iyning oltin changini to'lashi kerak edi;^[v] Qolganlarning hammasi yigirma besh funt paxta to'lashlari kerak edi. Hindiston har doim o'z o'lponini etkazib berganda, u misni yoki mis nishonini olishi kerak edi, u to'lovni amalga oshirganligining isboti sifatida bo'yniga taqishi kerak edi; bunday belgisiz topilgan har qanday hindistonlik jazolanishi kerak edi. "^[96] Jetonlarni taklif qilgan monarxlar engil jazoga chaqirishdi,^[97] ammo mis belgisiz topilgan har qanday hindistonlik qo'llarini kesib tashlagan, bu o'limga hukm bo'lishi mumkin edi.^[70] Orolda oltin ko'p bo'lmaganligi sababli, mahalliy aholi Kolumbning kvotasini bajarish imkoniyatiga ega bo'lmagan va minglab odamlar o'z joniga qasd qilganligi haqida xabar berilgan.^[98] 1497 yilga kelib o'lpon tizimining barchasi barbod bo'ldi.^[99]

Kolumb 1495 yilda kasal bo'lib qoldi va shu vaqt ichida uning qo'shinlari tartibsiz harakat qilishdi, mahalliy aholiga nisbatan shafqatsizliklar, jumladan, taxmin qilingan oltin qaerdaligini bilish uchun ularni qiynashdi.^[100] O'ziga kelgach, u erkaklar va itlarni majburiy burchlaridan qochgan mahalliy odamlarni ovlashga, ularni o'ldirishga yoki boshqalarga ogohlantirish sifatida qo'llarini kesib tashlashga undagan.^[101] Vahshiylik va qotillik hatto kasal va qurolsiz bo'lgan mahalliy aholiga qarshi ham amalga oshirildi.^[101]

Uchinchi safar (1498–1500)

Uchinchi safar

Manzil Sanlucar de Barrameda, Kolumbning uchinchi safari uchun boshlang'ich nuqtasi.

Bartolome de Las Casas tomonidan tayyorlangan Kolumb jurnalining avtoreferatiga ko'ra, uchinchi safarning maqsadi Portugaliya qiroli Ioann II Kabo-Verde orollarining janubi-g'arbiy qismida joylashganligini taxmin qilgan qit'aning mavjudligini tekshirish edi. Xabarlarga ko'ra, qirol Jon bunday materik borligini bilar edi, chunki "Gvineya (G'arbiy Afrika) sohilidan chiqib, tovarlari bilan g'arbga suzib yuradigan kanoalar topilgan".^[102][103] Italiyalik kashfiyotchi Jon Kabot 1497 yil iyun oyida materikka etib borgan.^[104]

1498 yil 30-mayda Kolumb oltita kema bilan jo'nab ketdi Sanlukar, Ispaniya, Amerika qit'asiga uchinchi safari uchun. Kemalarning uchtasi to'g'ridan-to'g'ri Hispaniola tomon juda kerakli materiallar bilan yo'l oldi, Kolumb esa qolgan uchtasini u allaqachon tashrif buyurgan Karib orollari janubida bo'lishi mumkin bo'lgan narsalarni, shu jumladan, kontinental Osiyodan o'tishni kutib oldi.^[105] Kolumb o'z flotini Portugaliyaning oroliga olib bordi Portu-Santu, uning xotini tug'ilgan vatan. Keyin u suzib ketdi Madeyra va Kanar orollari va Kabo-Verde tomon suzib ketishdan oldin u erda bir muncha vaqt portugaliyalik kapitan João Gonsalvesh da Kamara bilan birga bo'lgan.

13-iyul kuni Kolumbus parki kirdi sustlik Atlantika okeanining o'rtalarida, ular bir necha kun davomida ovlanib, issiqlik kemalarga, oziq-ovqat va suv ta'minotiga zarar etkazmoqda.^[106] Sharqiy shamol nihoyat ularni g'arbga qarab qo'zg'atdi, 22-iyulgacha, janubi-g'arbdan shimoli-sharqqa uchayotgan qushlar ko'rilganda va flot Dominika tomon shimolga burildi.^[107] Erkaklar erni ko'rishdi Trinidad 31-iyul kuni janubi-sharqdan yaqinlashmoqda.^[108] Filo janubiy qirg'oq bo'ylab suzib kirib keldi Ajdaho og'zi, yaqinida langar Soldado Rok (g'arbda Ikakos nuqtasi, Trinidadning janubi-g'arbiy nuqtasi) ular qayiqda amerikaliklar guruhi bilan aloqa o'rnatgan.^[109][w] 1 avgustda Kolumb va uning odamlari og'zining yaqinidagi quruqlikka etib kelishdi Janubiy Amerika "s Orinoko daryo, zamonaviy mintaqada Venesuela. Kolumb topografiyadan qit'aning materik bo'lishi kerakligini tan oldi, ammo uni an otro mundo ('boshqa dunyo'),^[110] bu Osiyo degan fikrni saqlab qoldi va ehtimol an Yerdagi jannat.^[111] 2-avgust kuni ular Ikakos Poyntiga (Kolumb nom bergan) tushdilar Punta-de-Arenal), mahalliy aholi bilan zo'ravonlik bilan uchrashishdan ozgina qochish.^[112] 4-avgustning boshida, a tsunami deyarli Kolumb kemasini ag'darib yubordi.^[113] Erkaklar suzib o'tishdi Paria ko'rfazi va 5 avgust kuni Janubiy Amerika materikiga tushdi Paria yarimoroli.^[114] Bir oy davom etgan uyqusizlikdan va qon to'kkan ko'zlaridan ko'rish qobiliyatini pasaygan Kolumb, boshqa flot kapitanlariga birinchi bo'lib qirg'oqqa chiqishga ruxsat berdi: biri xoch qo'ydi, ikkinchisi esa keyinchalik rasmiy ravishda viloyatni Ispaniyaga olib ketish uchun qo'ndi. Ular g'arbga qarab suzib ketishdi, u erda marvaridlarni ko'rish Kolumbni odamlarni oltindan olmasa ham olish uchun odam yuborishga majbur qildi. Mahalliy aholi ovqatlanishni, shu jumladan a makkajo'xori sharob, Kolumb uchun yangi. Oziq-ovqat kemasi buzilguncha Hispaniolaga etib borishga majbur bo'lgan Kolumb, ular qirg'oqqa suzib ketganlarini va toza suv olishganida, yana ochiq suvga chiqish uchun sharqqa qaytishlari kerakligini anglab, hafsalasi pir bo'ldi.^[115]

Dengizda Kolumb Shimoliy yulduz sobit emasligini kuzatdi, keyin a bilan kuzatuvlar o'tkazdi kvadrant, "muntazam ravishda ko'rgan chiziq chizig'i "o'z kemasiga qarab harakat qilish o'rniga, xuddi shu nuqtaga tushish.

Sog'lig'i yomon bo'lgan Kolumb 19 avgustda Hispaniolaga qaytib keldi, shundan keyingina yangi mustamlakaning ko'plab ispan ko'chmanchilari Kolumb ularni topishni kutgan mo'l-ko'l boyliklar to'g'risida adashtirgan deb da'vo qilib, uning hukmronligiga qarshi isyon ko'tarishdi. Bir qator qaytib kelgan ko'chmanchilar va dengizchilar Kolumbusga qarshi Ispaniya sudida lobbi uyushtirib, uni va uning ukalarini qo'pol boshqaruvda aybladilar. Kolumb o'zining ba'zi bir ekipajini itoatsizlik uchun osib qo'ydi. U Hispaniola mahalliy aholisini qul qilishda iqtisodiy manfaatdor edi va shu sababli ularni suvga cho'mdirishni istamadi, bu ba'zi cherkovlarning tanqidiga sabab bo'ldi.^[120] 1498 yil sentyabrda uning jurnalidagi yozuv: "Bu erdan Muqaddas Uch Birlik nomi bilan sotilishi mumkin bo'lgan qancha qullarni yuborish mumkin ..."^[121]

Oxir-oqibat Kolumb isyonkor mustamlakachilar bilan kamsituvchi shartlar asosida sulh tuzishga majbur bo'ldi.^[122] 1500 yilda Crown uni gubernatorlikdan olib tashladi, hibsga olindi va zanjirband qilib Ispaniyaga etkazdi. Oxir-oqibat u ozod qilindi va Amerikaga qaytishga ruxsat berildi, ammo gubernator sifatida emas.^[123] Qo'shimcha haqorat sifatida portugaliyaliklar Sharqiy Hindistondagi musobaqada g'olib bo'lishdi: Vasko da Gama 1499 yil sentyabr oyida Afrikaning sharqiy qismida suzib o'tib, Hindistonga safardan qaytib keldi.

Gubernatorlik masalalari

Mustamlakachilarning qo'zg'olonlari

Ikkinchi safaridan so'ng, Kolumb 330 kishini Hispaniolada doimiy yashashga (ixtiyoriy ravishda) jo'natishni so'radi, barchasi podshohning maoshi bilan. Xususan, u 100 nafar erkakdan askar va mardikor, 50 nafar dehqon, 40 ta dengizchi, 30 ta dengizchi, 30 ta o'g'il bola, 20 ta zargar, 10 ta bog'bon, 20 ta hunarmand va 30 ta ayol sifatida ishlashni so'radi. In addition to this, plans were made to maintain friars and clergymen, a physician, a pharmacist, an herbalist, and musicians for entertaining the colonists. Fearing that the King was going to restrict money allotted for wages, Columbus suggested that Spanish criminals be pardoned in exchange for a few years unpaid service in Hispaniola, and the King agreed to this. A pardon for the death penalty would require two years of service, and one year of service was required for lesser crimes. They also instructed that those who had been sentenced to exile would also be redirected to be exiled in Hispaniola.^[124]

These new colonists were sent directly to Hispaniola in three ships with supplies, while Columbus was taking an alternate route with the other three ships to explore. As these new Colonists arrived on Hispaniola, a rebellion was brewing under Francisco Roldán (a man Columbus had left as chief mayor, under his brothers Diego and Bartolomew). By the time Columbus arrived on Hispaniola, Roldán held the territory of Xaraguá, and some of the new colonists had joined his rebellion. Over months, Columbus tried negotiating with the rebels. At some point in these negotiations Columbus ordered Adrián de Mújica, Roldán's partner in rebellion, to be hanged.^{[iqtibos kerak ]} Eventually, though, he capitulated to much of the Roldán's demands. Several other revolts broke out after that, but Roldán, now restored as mayor, took part in putting them down, and tried and hanged one of the ringleaders, Adrián de Mújica.^[125]

During Columbus's term as viceroy and Hindiston gubernatori, he had been accused of governing tyrannically, called "the tyrant of the Caribbean".^{[iqtibos kerak ]} Columbus was physically and mentally exhausted; his body was wracked by artrit and his eyes by oftalmiya. In October 1499, he sent two ships to Spain, asking the Court of Castile to appoint a royal commissioner to help him govern. On February 3, 1500, he returned to Santo Domingo with plans to sail back to Spain to defend himself from the accounts of the rebels.^[126]

Bobadilla's inquiry

The sovereigns gave Frantsisko de Bobadilla, a'zosi Kalatrava buyrug'i, complete control as governor in the Americas. Bobadilla arrived in Santo Domingo in August 1500, where Diego was overseeing the execution of rebels, while Columbus was suppressing a revolt at Grenada.^[127][y] Bobadilla immediately received many serious complaints about all three Columbus brothers, including that "seven Spanish men had been hanged that week," with another five awaiting execution.^[128][z] Bobadilla had orders to find out "which persons were the ones who rose up against the admiral and our justice and for what cause and reason, and what ... damage they have done," then "detain those whom you find guilty ... and confiscate their goods."^[130] The crown's command regarding Columbus dictated that the admiral must relinquish all control of the colonies, keeping only his personal wealth.^[130]

Bobadilla used force to prevent the execution of several prisoners, and subsequently took charge of Columbus's possessions, including papers which he would have used to defend himself in Spain.^[131] Bobadilla suspended the tribute system for a twenty-year period, then summoned the admiral. In early October 1500, Columbus and Diego presented themselves to Bobadilla, and were put in chains aboard La Gorda, Columbus's own ship.^[132] Only the ship's cook was willing to put the shamed admiral in chains.^[133] Bobadilla took much of Columbus's gold and other treasures.^[132] Ferdinand Kolumb recorded that the governor took "testimony from their open enemies, the rebels, and even showing open favor," and auctioned off some of his father's possessions "for one third of their value."^[134]

Bobadilla's inquiry produced testimony that Columbus forced priests not to baptize natives without his express permission, so he could first decide whether or not they should be sold into slavery. He allegedly captured a tribe of 300 under Roldán's protection to be sold into slavery, and informed other Christians that half of the indigenous servants should be yielded to him.^[135] Further, he allegedly ordered at least 12 Spaniards to be whipped and tied by the neck and feet for trading gold for something to eat without his permission. Other allegations include that he: ordered a woman to be whipped naked on the back of a donkey for lying that she was pregnant, had a woman's tongue cut out for seeming to insult him and his brothers, cut a Spaniard's throat for being homosexual, ordered Christians to be hung for stealing bread, ordered a cabin boy's hand cut off and posted publicly for using a trap to catch a fish, and ordered for a man to have his nose and ears cut off, as well as to be whipped, shackled, and banished. Multiple culprits were given a potentially fatal 100 lashes, sometimes while naked. Some fifty men starved to death on La Isabela because of tight control over the ship's rations, despite there being an abundance.^[136]

Trial in Spain

A number of returned settlers and friars lobbied against Columbus at the Spanish court, accusing him of mismanagement. By his own request, Columbus remained in chains during the entire voyage home.^[133][aa] Once in Cádiz, a grieving Columbus wrote to a friend at court:

It is now seventeen years since I came to serve these princes with the Enterprise of the Indies. They made me pass eight of them in discussion, and at the end rejected it as a thing of jest. Nevertheless I persisted therein... Over there I have placed under their sovereignty more land than there is in Africa and Europe, and more than 1,700 islands... In seven years I, by the divine will, made that conquest. At a time when I was entitled to expect rewards and retirement, I was incontinently arrested and sent home loaded with chains... The accusation was brought out of malice on the basis of charges made by civilians who had revolted and wished to take possession on the land...I beg your graces, with the zeal of faithful Christians in whom their Highnesses have confidence, to read all my papers, and to consider how I, who came from so far to serve these princes... now at the end of my days have been despoiled of my honor and my property without cause, wherein is neither justice nor mercy.^[137]

Columbus and his brothers were jailed for six weeks before the busy King Ferdinand ordered them released. On December 12, 1500, the king and queen summoned the Columbus brothers to their presence at the Alhambra saroy Granada. With his chains at last removed, Columbus wore shortened sleeves so the marks on his skin would be visible.^[133] At the palace, the royal couple heard the brothers' pleas; Columbus was brought to tears as he admitted his faults and begged for forgiveness. Their freedom was restored. On September 3, 1501, the door was firmly shut on Columbus's role as governor. O'sha paytdan boshlab, Nicolás de Ovando va Cáceres was to be the new governor of the Indies, although Columbus retained the titles of admiral and viceroy. A royal mandate dated September 27 ordered Bobadilla to return Columbus's possessions.^[139][ab]

To'rtinchi safar (1502-1504)

Columbus's fourth voyage

After much persuasion, the sovereigns agreed to fund Columbus's fourth voyage. It would be his final chance to prove himself and become the first man ever to dunyoni aylanib chiqing. Columbus's goal was to find the Malakka bo'g'ozi Hind okeaniga.^[140] On March 14, 1502, Columbus started his fourth voyage with 147 men and with strict orders from the king and queen which instructed him not to stop at Hispaniola, but only to search for a westward passage to the Hind okeani materik. Before he left, Columbus wrote a letter to the Governors of the Sankt-Jorj banki, Genoa, dated at Seville, 2 April 1502.^[141] U "Garchi mening tanam shu erda bo'lsa ham, yuragim doimo sizning yoningizda" deb yozgan.^[142] Accompanied by his stepbrother Bartolomeo, Diego Mendez, and his 13-year-old son Ferdinand, he left Cádiz on May 9, 1502, with his flagship, Kapitana, shuningdek Gallega, Vizcaína, va Santiago de Palos.^[143] Ular avval suzib ketishdi Arzila on the Moroccan coast to rescue the Portuguese soldiers who he heard were under siege by the Moors.^[144]

After using the trade winds to cross the Atlantic in a brisk twenty days, on June 15, they landed at Carbet on the island of Martinika (Martinica).^[144] Columbus anticipated that a bo'ron was brewing and had a ship that needed to be replaced, so he headed to Hispaniola, despite being forbidden to land there. He arrived at Santo Domingo on June 29, but was denied port, and the new governor refused to listen to his warning of a storm. While Columbus's ships sheltered at the mouth of the Haina River, Governor Bobadilla departed, with Roldán and over US$10 million of Columbus's gold aboard his ship, accompanied by a convoy of 30 other vessels. Columbus's personal gold and other belongings were put on the fragile Aguya, considered the fleet's least seaworthy vessel. The onset of a hurricane drove some ships ashore, with some sinking in the harbor of Santo Domingo; Bobadilla's ship is thought to have reached the eastern end of Hispaniola before sinking. About 20 other vessels sunk in the Atlantic, with a total of some 500 people drowning. Three damaged ships made it back to Santo Domingo; one of these had Juan de la Cosa and Rodrigo de Bastidas transport vosita ichida. Faqat Aguya made it Spain, causing some of Columbus's enemies to accuse him of conjuring the storm.^{[145][146][147]}

After the hurricane, Columbus regrouped with his men, and after a brief stop at Yamayka and off the coast of Cuba to replenish, he sailed to modern Markaziy Amerika, etib kelish Guanaja^[148] (Isla de los Pinos) in the Bay orollari off the coast of Gonduras on July 30, 1502. Here Bartolomeo found native merchants—possibly (but not conclusively) Mayya^[149][ak]—and a large canoe, which was described as "long as a galley" and was filled with cargo.^[150] The natives introduced Columbus and his entourage to kakao.^[151] Columbus spoke with an elder, and thought he described having seen people with swords and otlar (possibly the Spaniards), and that they were "only ten days' journey to the river Gangalar ".^[152] On August 14, Columbus landed on the mainland of the Americas at Puerto Castilla, near Trujillo, Gonduras. He spent two months exploring the coasts of Honduras, Nikaragua va Kosta-Rika looking for the passage, before arriving in Almirante Bay, Panama, 16 oktyabr kuni.

On December 5, 1502, Columbus and his crew found themselves in a storm unlike any they had ever experienced. In his journal Columbus writes,

For nine days I was as one lost, without hope of life. Eyes never beheld the sea so angry, so high, so covered with foam. The wind not only prevented our progress, but offered no opportunity to run behind any headland for shelter; hence we were forced to keep out in this bloody ocean, seething like a pot on a hot fire. Never did the sky look more terrible; for one whole day and night it blazed like a furnace, and the lightning broke with such violence that each time I wondered if it had carried off my spars and sails; the flashes came with such fury and frightfulness that we all thought that the ship would be blasted. All this time the water never ceased to fall from the sky; I do not say it rained, for it was like another deluge. The men were so worn out that they longed for death to end their dreadful suffering.^[153]

In Panamá, he learned from the Ngobe of gold and a strait to another ocean. After some exploration, he established a garrison at the mouth of Belen daryosi in January 1503. By April 6, the garrison he had established captured the local tribe leader El-Kibian, who had demanded they not go down^{[shubhali – muhokama qilish]} the Belén River. El Quibían escaped, and returned with an army to attack and repel the Spanish, damaging some of the ships so that one vessel had to be abandoned. Columbus left for Hispaniola on April 16; on May 10, he sighted the Kayman orollari, naming them "Las Tortugas" after the numerous dengiz toshbaqalari U yerda.^[154] His ships next sustained more damage in a storm off the coast of Cuba.^[154] Unable to travel any farther, the ships were beached in St. Ann's Bay, Jamaica, on June 25.^[155]

Columbus fills the natives with fear and awe by predicting the oy tutilishi

For a year Columbus and his men remained stranded on Jamaica. A Spaniard, Diego Mendez, and some natives paddled a canoe to get help from Hispaniola. The island's governor, Nicolás de Ovando va Cáceres, detested Columbus and obstructed all efforts to rescue him and his men. In the meantime, Columbus had to mesmerize the natives in order to prevent being attacked by them and gain their goodwill. He did so by correctly predicting a oy tutilishi for February 29, 1504, using the Ephemeris of the German astronomer Regiomontanus.^[156][157]

In May 1504 a battle took place between men loyal to Columbus and those loyal to the Porras brothers, in which there was a sword fight between Bartolomé Colón and Francisco de Porras. Bartholomew Columbus won against Francisco but he spared his life. In this way, the mutiny ended. Help finally arrived from the governor Ovando, on June 29, when a caravel sent by Diego Méndez finally appeared on the island. At this time there were 110 members of the expedition alive out of the 147 that sailed from Spain with Columbus. Due to the strong winds, the caravel had to stop by the road, taking 45 days to reach La Hispaniola. Previously this was a trip that Diego Méndez had made in four days in a canoe.

About 38 of the 110 men that survived decided not to board again and stayed in Hispaniola instead of returning to Spain. On September 11, 1504, Christopher Columbus and his son Hernando embarked in a caravel to travel from Hispaniola to Spain, paying their corresponding tickets. They arrived in Sanlúcar de Barrameda on November 7 and from there they traveled to Seville, where Colón denounced to the authorities that the gold that came in the caravel for the Crown had been adulterated and claimed for himself a part for having made the accusation.

The news of Columbus's first voyage set off many other westward explorations by European states, which aimed to profit from trade and mustamlaka. This would instigate a related biological exchange va trans-Atlantic trade. These events, the effects and consequences of which persist to the present, are sometimes cited as the beginning of the zamonaviy davr.^[158]

Upon first landing in the West, Columbus pondered enslaving the natives,^[l] and upon his return broadcast the perceived willingness of the natives to convert to Christianity.^[68] Columbus's second voyage saw the first major skirmish between Europeans and Native Americans for five centuries, when the Vikinglar had come to the Americas.^[79] One of the women was captured in the battle by a friend of Columbus, who let him keep her as a slave; this man subsequently beat and raped her.^{[79][78][lar]} In 1503, the Spanish monarchs established the Indian qisqartirish, settlements intended to relocate and exploit the natives.^[159]

Bilan Kashfiyot yoshi starting in the 15th century, Europeans explored the world by ocean, searching for particular trade goods, humans to enslave, and trading locations and ports. The most desired trading goods were gold, silver and spices. For the Catholic monarchies of Spain and Portugal, a division of influence of the land discovered by Columbus became necessary to avoid conflict. This was resolved by papal intervention in 1494 when the Treaty of Tordesillas purported to divide the world between the two powers.^[73] The Portuguese were to receive everything outside of Europe east of a line that ran 270 leagues west of the Cape Verde Islands.^[73] The Spanish received everything west of this line, territory that was still almost completely unknown, and proved to be primarily the vast majority of the continents of the Americas and the Islands of the Pacific Ocean. In 1500, the Portuguese navigator Pedro Alvares Kabral arrived at a point on the eastern coast of South America on the Portuguese side of the dividing line. This would lead to the Portuguese colonization of what is now Braziliya.^[160]

In 1499, Italian explorer Amerigo Vespuchchi participated in a voyage to the western world with Columbus's associates Alonso de Ojeda and Juan de la Cosa.^[161] Vespucci initially followed Columbus in the belief that he was sailing to Asia,^[162] but realized in 1501 that these lands actually composed a new continent, suggesting as much in a 1503 letter to Lorenzo di Pierfrancesco.^[162][163] A subsequent letter to Piero Soderini, purportedly by Vespucci, claims that he first voyaged to the Americas in 1497, thereby reaching the mainland before Columbus.^[164] In 1507, a year after Columbus's death,^[165] the New World was named "America" on a map by German cartographer Martin Waldseemüller.^[166] Waldseemüller retracted this naming in 1513, seemingly after Sebastyan Kabot, Las Casas, and many historians convincingly argued that Vespucci's letter to Soderini had been a falsification;^[164] in his new map, Waldseemüller labelled the continent discovered by Columbus Terra Incognita ('unknown land').^[167]

On September 25, 1513, the Spanish conquistador Vasko Nunez de Balboa, exploring overland, became the first European to encounter the tinch okeani from the shores of the Americas, calling it the "South Sea". Later, on October 29, 1520, Magellanni aylanib chiqish expedition discovered the first maritime passage from the Atlantic to the Pacific, at the southern end of what is now Chile (Strait of Magellan ), and his fleet ended up sailing around the whole Earth. Almost a century later, another, wider passage to the Pacific would be discovered farther to the south, bordering Burun burni.

In the Americas the Spanish found a number of empires that were as large and populous as those in Europe. Small bodies of Spanish conquistadors, with large armies of indigenous groups, managed to conquer these states. The most notable amongst them were the Aztek imperiyasi in modern Mexico (conquered in 1521 ) va Inka imperiyasi in modern Peru (conquered in 1532 ). During this time, pandemics of European diseases such as chechak devastated the indigenous populations.^{[168][169][170]} Once Spanish sovereignty was established, the Spanish focused on the extraction and export of gold and silver.^[171]
