Christopher Columbus set off across the Atlantic in 1492 with three ships: the Niña, the Pinta, and the Santa María. He believed he had reached Asia when he landed on an island in the Caribbean, specifically what is now known as the Bahamas. Instead of finding a new route to Asia, he encountered the Americas, marking the beginning of European exploration and colonization of the continent.
