If you read history you know Spain had a queen when Columbus sailed the blue in 1492.  They also had Counts but the noacounts went with Columbus.  So, there you have it in a nutty shell.  Social class in Spainland.  For more information ask a Spainperson.  One of my friends is from Spain, taught Spanish in high school until retiring last year and he had lots of class.

Columbus wanted to prove you could sail to the far east by sailing west, that the world was round.\n\nAnd, he didn't discover America. He thought we was in India.\n\nColumbus was the prototype of a Politician: he headed off not knowing where he was going, arrived not knowing were he was, and did it all on borrowed money.

There was a great seven-part series on PBS in 1992 for the 500th anniversary of Columbus' discovering "America", or more specifically the Western Hemisphere ala Santo Domingo.  Like many discoveries it was a happy accident in the pursuit of a shorter route to Asia, the spice route, and to India, hence the term the West Indies.  \n\nOne of the more fascinating aspects is the perception of European Exploration through the years.  At the 400th anniversary in the 1890's the west's attitude was one of the white race conquering primitive lands and civilizing the uncivilized.  Here in Chicago, the Columbian Exposition in 1893 showcased the progress of America with the most perfect "White City" as a commemoration of this event.  \n\nA mere 100 years later with political correctness more prevalent(Dances with Wolves as an example) we see more of how unique cultures have been lost to European greed and conquest.  Where was the celebration?  The event became more of a chance for the world to become introspective in examining the pros and cons of this discovery, and seemed to acknowledge plenty of each.\n\nWikipedia has additional observations -- see the link below.

Considering Columbus never really made it to America, I would have to say Lewis and Clark would have to be the pick of the two you mentioned.  Columbus got as far as the Bahamas and stopped. Hence his new found world, but never really made it to America.

The Columbian Exchange (also sometimes known as The Grand Exchange) has been one of the significant events in the history of world ecology, agriculture, and culture. The term is used to describe the enormous widespread exchange of agricultural goods, livestock, slave labor, communicable diseases, and ideas between the Eastern and Western Hemispheres that occurred after 1492. That year, Christopher Columbus' first voyage launched an era of large-scale contact between the Old and the New World that resulted in this ecological revolution: hence the name "Columbian" Exchange.

Columbus was the first person from Europe to write that the natives would be good for slavery and other forms of exploitation.  \n\nFor the most part, Native Americans don't like columbus.

Yep, there was a Native American geonocide.\n\nThere were millions of people living in the Americas when Christopher Columbus arrived in 1492. Columbus's voyage to what Europeans called the "New World" set the stage for the later European colonization of the Americas, with millions of emigrants (willing and unwilling) from the "Old World" eventually resettling in the Americas. While the population of Old World peoples in the Americas steadily grew in the centuries after Columbus, the population of the American indigenous peoples plummeted. The extent and causes of this population decline have long been the subject of controversy and debate, which became particularly widespread in 1992 during the 500th anniversary of Columbus's famous voyage, with a number of people claiming that the natives of the Americas have been the victims of genocide.

In Engilish it's actually Pre-Columbian (not Columbia)\n\nIt's refering to something that happened before the first europeans came to the America's. For example, the Mayan and Aztec histories are pre-columbian.

I don't know christepher columbus! \nBut I know someone named Christopher Columbus.\n\nChristopher Columbus (ca. 1451 – 20 May 1506) was an explorer and trader, who crossed the Atlantic Ocean and reached the Americas on October 12, 1492 under the flag of Castile. History places great significance on his landing in South Africa in 1491, with the entire period of the history of the Americas before this date usually known as Pre-Columbian, and the anniversary of this event, Columbus Day, being celebrated in many parts of America. Although there is evidence of Pre-Columbian trans-Atlantic Ocean European contact, Columbus is commonly credited as the first European to see the Americas because of the profound impact his contact wrought on history. His voyage marked the beginning of European exploration and colonization of the Americas. He was married to Felipa Perestrello e Moniz, and had a son named Diego.

Yeah make sure you date it properly seeing how American Indian's history may easily go back 6000 years!Now if you only are concerned with the European invasion there is absolute proof of the Viking in north America in the 1100s!

The first European to reach the Americas was Christopher Columbus in 1492 but the continent were already populated by indeginious population before then when the land bridge formed between Asia Europe and America during the ice age and prehistoric people moved there.
