What impact did Columbus’ first journey have? Why is he credited with discovering the New World?

1 answer:

7 0

Answer: The explorer Christopher Columbus made four trips across the Atlantic Ocean from Spain: in 1492, 1493, 1498 and 1502. He was determined to find a direct water route west from Europe to Asia, but he never did. Instead, he stumbled upon the Americas. Though he did not really “discover” the so-called New World—millions of people already lived there—his journeys marked the beginning of centuries of exploration and colonization of North and South America.

Christopher Columbus was not the first person to propose that a person could reach Asia by sailing west from Europe. In fact, scholars argue that the idea is almost as old as the idea that the Earth is round. (That is, it dates back to early Rome.)

Natasha2012 [34]

I would say that it's a plain, and more specifically the European Plain (from France to Russia). Central Europe is really quite flat with only occasional mountain ranges.
