Christopher Columbus was an Italian explorer and navigator who completed four voyages across the Atlantic Ocean under the sponsorship of Spain, between 1492 and 1504. He is credited with opening the Americas to European exploration after landing in the Caribbean, though he believed he had reached Asia. His expeditions led to the widespread exchange of goods, cultures, and people between the Old and New Worlds, known as the Columbian Exchange. Despite his achievements, Columbus' legacy is controversial due to his role in the mistreatment of Indigenous peoples and the beginning of European colonization in the Americas.
