Christopher Columbus arrived in America on October 12, 1492. He landed on an island in the Bahamas, which he named San Salvador. This event marked the beginning of European exploration and colonization of the Americas. Columbus made four voyages in total, but his first voyage is the most significant for its historical impact.
