The Middle Passage was the section of the trade routes from the fifteenth through eighteenth centuries in which African peoples were transported across the Atlantic Ocean to the Americas. While many of the Africans died, the numbers are estimated at close to 2 million rather than one billion.

If Asian explorers had reached the Americas before Europeans, the course of history could have been significantly different. The exchange of goods, ideas, and technologies might have led to earlier advancements in agricultural practices and trade networks, potentially fostering more robust indigenous civilizations. Additionally, the cultural and political dynamics could have shifted, with Asian influences shaping societal structures in the Americas. This scenario might have also altered the timeline and nature of European colonial expansion in the New World.
The first Spanish explorer reached the Americas in 1492. The first European in the "New World" after the Norse explorations of the 11th century was Christopher Columbus, who landed on an island in the Bahamas. It's not known exactly which one but is thought to be San Salvador Island, Samana Cay, or Plana Cays. He made four voyages from Spain to the Americas, exploring present-day Cuba, Hispaniola, the Lesser Antilles, the Leeward Islands, Puero Rico, Trindad, Honduras, the mouth of a river in Venezuela, and Jamaica.
After World War II, the estimated global population in 1945 was around 2.5 billion people.
