When Christopher Columbus first landed in the Americas in 1492, he believed he had reached the outskirts of Asia and referred to the land as "San Salvador," which means "Holy Savior" in Spanish. Columbus named the specific island he landed on in the Bahamas this way, although the exact island is still a topic of debate. His exploration was initially driven by the search for a westward route to Asia, not the discovery of a new continent.
I am very surprised by this. i shall be moving to the new land you have found soon to escape the prosecution of my religion.
His journey was good because he found a whole new land (America) and people.
Christopher Columbus' main goal was to find gold and other treasures. The fact that he found a completely new land to settle was not something he intended.
Columbus wasn't the explorer who "found" America. The Native Americans were. They used a land bridge made from glaciers. Columbus was thinking he was in India (the spice land).
Columbus thought he was in India, and in his way to Asia, the land he founded was the island of Hispaniola, what we now know as Haiti, and Dominican Republic.

Well, considering we found the Americas out of it, I think it's important.
Christopher Columbus' main goal was to find gold and other treasures. The fact that he found a completely new land to settle was not something he intended.
His Motovation to explore was to find new land for his colony to move into so he found Ameracia.
