Christopher Columbus was a famous explorer who discovered the New World while searching for a western route to the Indies.

Although Christopher Columbus did not find what he was looking for, on October 12, 1492, he and his men discovered the New World. The world owes a great debt to the courageous explorations of Christopher Columbus.
