The first European widely recognized for exploring the New World is Christopher Columbus, who made his historic voyage in 1492 under the auspices of Spain. Although he was not the first to reach the Americas—Vikings like Leif Erikson had arrived centuries earlier—Columbus's expeditions led to the widespread awareness and subsequent colonization of the continent by Europe. His journeys marked the beginning of sustained European exploration and interaction with the Americas.
