While pursuing a sailing route to the Far East, he instead discovered a route to the Americas, then unknown to the "Old World"
Born: 1451, Genoa, Italy
He led the first European expeditions to the Caribbean, Central America, and South America, initiating the permanent European colonization of the Americas. Columbus discovered a viable sailing route to the Americas, a continent that was then unknown to the Old World

No one should fear to undertake any task in the name of our Saviour, if it is just and if the intention is purely for His holy service.
For the execution of the voyage to the Indies, I did not make use of intelligence, mathematics or maps.
