His first voyage brought him fame and popularity - he discovered a new continent. But he had enemies who wanted to get rid of him. On his second voyage the Government of the country that Columbus himself discovered threw him into prison. He was sent back to Spain as a prisoner. But Columbus succeeded in proving that the lies his enemies spread about him were untrue, and the Spanish Government gave him four ships to start on a new voyage. But this third voyage was unfortunate from the beginning. The ships were met by terrible storms and the time he reached the shores of Haiti, Columbus lost three of them. The remaining ship was about to go down when Columbus reached the island. It took Columbus almost a year to return to Spain. He was unhappy, disappointed and broken in health. Worst of all, everyone forgot his achievements. He died in poverty in 1506 without knowing that he discovered a new world.
