Christopher Columbus is credited with discovering several new routes and places during his voyages in the late 15th century. His first expedition in 1492 led him to the Bahamas, specifically an island he named San Salvador, and later to parts of Cuba and Hispaniola. Although Columbus believed he had reached Asia, his journeys opened up the Americas to European exploration and colonization, marking a significant moment in history. His voyages established new maritime routes across the Atlantic, connecting Europe to the New World.
