Learn Spanish with a non-fiction story: Columbia vs. Colombia
Why are there so many places named Columbia in the US? Why is Colombia called Colombia? Where does this name really come from? Does it really mean "Land of Columbus"? Was it really created by Francisco de Miranda or Simón Bolívar? Is there any relation between Colombia and Columbia, or is it just a coincidence? Find the answers in this video!
This video represents the fruit of 3 years of research. I hope you like it. I want to thank Professor Elise Bartosik-Velez, Ph.D., of Dickinson College, who has studied Francisco de Miranda and his use of the name Columbia/Colombia. Her writings helped me to make this story more coherent.
