In 1492, Christopher Columbus, sailing under the Spanish flag, made his first voyage across the Atlantic Ocean and is credited with the European discovery of the Americas. He landed in the Bahamas, specifically on an island he named San Salvador, marking the beginning of European exploration and colonization of the continent. While Columbus believed he had reached Asia, his voyages ultimately led to the widespread awareness of the Americas in Europe.
