Christopher Columbus' discovery led to European settlement in the new world. It launched an era of exploration and colonization. However, the character of Columbus was brought into question when he served as governor. He behaved as a tyrant and a titan, using methods of torture and committing atrocities on the people he was to govern. Between the years of 1494 and 1508, nearly three million native people were killed.
