A recent HISTORY CHANNEL documentary makes a strong case that Cristobal Colon WAS IN FACT A FAIRLY WELL TO DO SPANIARD and NOT ITALIAN. It pointed out that Colon apparently did not know how to write in Italian and wrote only in Spanish; the prose was studied by a historical invesitgator who proposes that the style was very Spanish and other evidence is presented about Colon being Spanish.
Throws a monkey wrench in some of the arguments establish herein and in other forums.

The History Channel documentary is already being discussed in the General Forum. I thought the arguments here had to do with arab cultural influence in Spanish culture and not Colon?
