Sponsored by Spain's Catholic Monarchs, his expeditions established the first European contact with the Caribbean and parts of Central and South America. Columbus's early maritime experiences spanned from the British Isles to Ghana, and his journeys had profound impacts on global demographics, commerce, and politics, initiating lasting connections between the Old and New Worlds.
