The first recorded European to travel to the West Indies by sailing around Africa was Christopher Columbus. In 1492, he embarked on his voyages under the Spanish flag, aiming to find a westward route to Asia. Instead, he reached the islands of the Caribbean, marking the beginning of European exploration and colonization in the Americas. However, it's important to note that Columbus's journey did not actually involve circumnavigating Africa; instead, he crossed the Atlantic Ocean directly.
