Columbus was the first person to go over to the Americas from Europe. He was a European explorer who was originally planning to find a trade route to India, but ended up landing to what is now the Bahamas. He had thought that he landed in Asia. In October 1492, Columbus went out on his voyage with the Nina, Pinta, and the Santa Maria. When Columbus landed, he encountered people called the Taino. He later claimed that island for Spain by plating banners and renamed the island San Salvador. Some of the effects that happened after this was, people finally realize that the world was not flat, and they advanced more in science and technology. European ship captains experimented with new sailing vessels caravel, and new navigating tools such as the astrolabe and the compass. The overall consequence of the Europeans wanting to find new trade routes was, wiping out the entire population of the Tainos. Also, an overall effect is that the Europeans made technology that we still use
