His major contribution to geography is that he was the first to visit, settle, and stay in these new lands, effectively bringing a new area or the world into the forefront of the geographic thought of the time.

Long before Columbus, various indigenous peoples had settled and explored different areas of the Americas. In addition, Norse explorers visited portions of North America. Leif Ericson is believed to have been the first European to visit the area and set up a settlement in the northern portion of Canada's Newfoundland some 500 years before the arrival of Columbus.

While Columbus is often mistakenly credited as being the first European to lay eyes on North America, the Vikings got there more than 400 years before him.

Answer 2

One of my arguments defending Columbus and giving him the title of discoverer of the Americas is that he began the era of colonization. After Columbus´ voyages, other European Nations began to explore this land and this made it a high point In European History. Nations started getting rich and powerful, mostly Spain because they were the first to arrive and colonize. He began the era of trading, establishing, and gaining lands.
