Christopher Columbus did not establish any colonies himself; however, he is credited with initiating European exploration and colonization of the Americas. During his four voyages between 1492 and 1504, he claimed several territories for Spain, including parts of the Bahamas, Hispaniola, and Cuba. The first permanent European colony in the Americas, La Isabela, was founded on Hispaniola in 1493 under his direction. Ultimately, the colonization efforts in the New World were carried out by subsequent Spanish explorers and settlers.
