If you were in Europe and went south, you'd end up in Africa, although there is a small sliver of Asia that juts out between the two. Europe, Asia, and Africa are three of the four continents. The others are North America, South America, Australia, and Antarctica.
Technically, no continent is north of Greenland as it is the northernmost piece of land on the planet. However, if you went from the northernmost part of Greenland and went north (passing the North Pole and ignoring that you are actually now going south), you'd reach Asia.
You would be traveling west. Beijing, the capital of China, is east of Moscow, the capital of Russia.
Christopher Columbus went to the American continent in search of a direct sea route to Asia to trade for valuable goods like spices. He believed he could reach Asia by sailing west across the Atlantic Ocean instead of traveling around Africa. His primary motivation was to find a more efficient trade route to Asia and establish a new route for Spain to access these sought-after goods.
The triangular trade routes also went to Africa. African slaves were captured and transported to the Americas to work on plantations in exchange for goods like rum, sugar, and molasses. This triangle of trade helped fuel the economies of Europe, Americas, and Africa during the 16th to 19th centuries.
Both Spain and Portugal gained control of the land in South America as a result of the Treaty of Tordesillas. The lands to the west went to Spain while the ones to the east went to Portugal.

Columbus went back to Europe. He was an explorer, not a colonist.
they went to Mexico to convince them to distract the us from Europe.
People from Europe, Australia, and the Americas used to call Africa the "dark continent." There were two reasons. One, was that it was very difficult for explorers who went there, and many of them died of illnesses such as yellow fever and malaria. Second, was because most of the continent was unknown as a result of that difficulty in exploration.
Well they first attacked Poland to the east, then they went west, then north, then south. They took a lot of countries from all over Europe.
before the earth looked like it does today the earth was called Pangaea. every continent was fit together like a puzzle piece. lava pulled weak pieces of land which happened to be south and north America and Australia apart and the Americas went west and Australia went south east
