Christopher Columbus landed on Hispaniola in 1493. He was still hoping to have found Asia and explored the island in the hope it would be India, China or Japan. He was given some gold dust and that excited him.
Christopher Columbus explored the Central and South American coasts. Between 1493 and 1496 he explored Cuba, Hispaniola, Puerto Rico and Jamaica.
Christopher Columbus (1451-1506) made four voyages to the New World. 1) 1492-1493 : Bahamas, Hispaniola, and Cuba 2) 1493-1494 : Hispaniola, Cuba, and Jamaica 3) 1498 : Trinidad and Venezuela 4) 1502-1504 : Honduras, Nicaragua, Panama, marooned on Jamaica for a year (tropical storms and then shipworms destroyed his ships)
Columbus's first colony, La Navidad, established in 1492 on Hispaniola, met a tragic fate. Upon his return in 1493, Columbus found that the settlement had been destroyed, and the Spanish settlers had been killed by the indigenous Taíno people, who were likely retaliating against the harsh treatment they received from the colonists. The destruction of La Navidad underscored the challenges of establishing European settlements in the Americas and set a precedent for future conflicts between colonizers and indigenous populations.
According to the Massachusetts General Hospital website, Christopher Columbus discovered the pineapple on the island of Guadeloupe, in the Caribbean, on 1493. Tis may not be right though.

The native peoples turned violent upon Columbus's return to Hispaniola in 1493 because of the harsh treatment they had faced under Columbus's rule, including forced labor, violence, and exploitation. The breakdown in relations was fueled by the Spaniards' greed for gold and the natives' resistance to their oppressive tactics.
Columbus visited Canada in 1493
When Columbus returned to Hispaniola in 1493, he found that the situation had deteriorated. The settlers he had left behind were struggling to survive due to conflicts with the indigenous Taino people and a lack of resources. Additionally, Columbus aimed to establish a more permanent Spanish presence and sought to exploit the land and its resources, leading to further tensions and exploitation of the native population. His return marked the beginning of intensified European colonization in the Americas.
