Im pretty sure that Christopher Columbus first made landfall in Greenland.
It was made in the year 1992, & is better known as the quincentennial dollar. Quin-5, Centennial-100, meaning Columbus made landfall 500 years before the dollar bill was made in honor of him
He technically never landed in America. He hit the Bahamas and thought he was in IndiaAnswerArrived in 1492 AnswerArrived in 1492 Columbus's goal was to reach India, but he made a mistake and landed in the Bahamas. He arrived there in 1492. A silly way to remember it is "IN 1492 Columbus sailed the ocean blue" Columbus still thought he was in India and called the people that lived there Indians.
Europeans first arrived in Cuba when Christopher Columbus sailed south after making landfall in the Bahamas in 1492. The natives of the Bahamas told of wealthy people to the south on an island that they called Cuba, which makes Cuba special as a place still with its original name. Because Columbus had thought he had arrived in Asia, he made the assumption that Cuba was Japan. The first European settlement wasn't made in Cuba until 1511 by Diego Velázquez de Cuéllar, who founded a small town called Baracoa, which still survives to this day. Cuéllar also went on to establish the cities of Santiago de Cuba and Havana.
because Columbus was trying to find a quicker trade rout to india, and when he arived in america he believed that he was in india.

Christopher Columbus made 4 voyages to the west Indies
The first explorer often credited with discovering the New World is Christopher Columbus, who made landfall in the Bahamas on October 12, 1492, while seeking a westward route to Asia. However, it's important to note that Norse explorer Leif Erikson reached parts of North America, specifically what is now Newfoundland, Canada, around the year 1000 AD, well before Columbus. Columbus's voyages, however, initiated widespread European exploration and colonization of the Americas.
Of course! The Native Americans were friendly when they met Columbus and the Spanish explorers because they thought Columbus and his explorers to be honorable people. Columbus portrayed himself in this way. He was very kind and polite to the Native Americans and made sure to treat them with respect. The Native Americans, after all, had never seen Europeans before, and although they were a bit taken aback, they admired them (of course, until they realized the Europeans only wanted their land and were only seeking to exploit them).
