Christopher Columbus's voyages in the late 15th century significantly expanded Spain's influence and wealth by opening up new trade routes and territories in the Americas. His expeditions led to the widespread awareness of the New World in Europe, sparking interest in exploration and colonization. Columbus's discoveries facilitated the exchange of goods, cultures, and ideas, which became known as the Columbian Exchange, ultimately shaping the course of global history. Additionally, his journeys laid the groundwork for subsequent explorers and the eventual establishment of European empires in the Americas.

Why does Columbus receive so much attention if he indeed did not discover America?

Christopher Columbus (c. 1451 - 20 May 1506) was a navigator, colonizer and explorer whose voyages across the Atlantic Ocean led to general European awareness of the American continents in the Western Hemisphere. With his four voyages of exploration and several attempts at establishing a settlement on the island of Hispaniola, all funded by Isabella I of Castile, he initiated the process of Spanish colonization which foreshadowed general European colonization of the "New World."Although not the first to reach the Americas from Europe-he was preceded by at least one other group, the Norse, led by Leif Ericson, who built a temporary settlement 500 years earlier at L'Anse aux Meadows[1]- Columbus initiated widespread contact between Europeans and indigenous Americans.
