Columbus embarks on his voyage.

Christopher Columbus, an Italian explorer sailing under the Spanish flag, embarked on his historic voyage across the Atlantic Ocean. Departing from Spain, Columbus aimed to find a new route to Asia but instead encountered the previously unknown lands of the Americas. This moment marks the beginning of the extensive European colonization and exploration of the New World. Columbus's voyage not only opened up possibilities for trade and exploration but also had far-reaching consequences for indigenous populations, as it led to the eventual conquest and colonization of the Americas by European powers. Columbus's journey paved the way for future explorers, sparking a period of intense exploration, colonization, and trade that would shape the course of world history. #Columbus #Exploration #NewWorld #Voyage
