In 1492, Christopher Columbus explored several islands in the Caribbean, including the Bahamas, which he named San Salvador. He also visited parts of Hispaniola (present-day Haiti and the Dominican Republic) and Cuba. Columbus aimed to find a westward route to Asia but instead encountered the New World, marking the beginning of European exploration and colonization in the Americas.
