What year did horses first appear in North America?

"when the Spanish arrived, soon after America was discovered by Christopher Columbus." I left the previous answer in tact as a learning moment. Can you believe that people still couch what Columbus did in this way? "Discovered" The horse actually originated in the Americas long before humans but was gone by the time the first humans arrived. The horse was re-introduced by the Spanish as they began to explore and exploit the "New World." So - right around 1500.

What main events did christopher Columbus have?

If you are asking what Columbus is best known for, he was an explorer and adventurer who bravely risked his life to make an ocean voyage across the Atlantic to the "New World." In 1492, he sailed on behalf of the King and Queen of Spain and claimed an island in what is today the Bahamas for the Spanish monarchy. While some older sources have said that he "discovered America," modern sources point out that there were already native people living there and other explorers may have been there before him. But it cannot be denied that Columbus's travels to the New World were important (he made four voyages, exploring not only the Caribbean but also South America and Central America): his accomplishments led to colonial expansion into the Americas by such European powers as Spain, France, and England.
