Columbus's voyage in 1492 ultimately led to the European discovery of the Americas, which had profound and lasting effects on world history. It initiated widespread exploration and colonization by European powers, resulting in significant cultural exchanges, the transatlantic slave trade, and the decimation of Indigenous populations due to disease and conflict. Additionally, it marked the beginning of a global economy as resources from the New World became integral to European markets. Columbus's journey thus set the stage for centuries of colonialism and transformation in both the Americas and Europe.
