The Middle Passage was the section of the trade routes from the fifteenth through eighteenth centuries in which African peoples were transported across the Atlantic Ocean to the Americas. While many of the Africans died, the numbers are estimated at close to 2 million rather than one billion.
Christopher Columbus's life-long dream was to find a new and faster trade route to Asia by sailing west across the Atlantic Ocean. In 1492, he made this dream a reality when he reached the Americas instead, leading to the exploration and colonization of the New World.
Christopher Columbus's voyage took place in 1492 when he sailed across the Atlantic Ocean from Spain in search of a new route to Asia. He mistakenly landed in the Americas, thinking he had reached India. This discovery led to the eventual colonization of the Americas by Europeans. However, Columbus was not the first to reach the Americas, as indigenous peoples had already inhabited the land for thousands of years prior to his arrival.
