Key Concepts
While Portugal went east, Christopher Columbus , sailing for Spain, convinced Queen Isabella that he could reach Asia by sailing west across the Atlantic. In 1492, he landed in the Caribbean, believing he was in the Indies (Asia).
Although he never found the vast gold or spices he promised, his voyages opened the door to the Americas. This accidental "discovery" connected two hemispheres that had been separated for thousands of years, leading to colonization and global change.
