In 1492, Christopher Columbus, an Italian explorer sailing under the Spanish flag, made his first voyage across the Atlantic Ocean. His expedition, which was aimed at finding a westward route to Asia, instead led to the European discovery of the New World (the Americas). This event marked the beginning of an era of exploration, colonization, and significant cultural exchanges between Europe, Africa, and the Americas. The year 1492 is often cited as the beginning of the Age of Exploration.
