Columbus is remembered more than previous explorers who may have reached the Americas because to results of his explorations were so much more consequential for the entire world.

Before him, certain people might have discovered America, although many of these are not confirmed and are based on possibilities, theories and speculation. These Pre-Columbians did not know much of where they were. They did not record these travels well, nor were they widely known. Columbus was the first person to document and gain wide recognition of his American discoveries. His discoveries lead to the widespread exploration and colonization of the Americas,, with consequent changes in the fortunes of millions of people in America and Eurasia..
