The crew that reached the Indies, specifically the islands of the East Indies, was led by Christopher Columbus during his first voyage in 1492. Although Columbus set out to find a new route to Asia, he instead landed in the Bahamas and later explored parts of the Caribbean, mistakenly believing he had reached the outskirts of Asia. His expedition marked the beginning of European exploration and colonization of the Americas, which would have profound implications for global history.
