    Causes for Columbus arrival to the Caribbean

    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 and whose journeys marked the
    beginning of centuries of transatlantic colonization. Though he did not really discover the new
    world millions of people already lived there of North and South America​ ​. During the 15th and
    16th centuries, leaders of several European nations sponsored expeditions abroad in the hope that
    explorers would find great wealth and vast undiscovered lands . The portuguese were the earliest
    participants in this age of discovery also known as the age of exploration. Starting in about 142,
    small portugese ships known as caravels zipped along the African coast, carrying spices, slaves
    and other goods from Asia and Africa to Europe.

    Impact of the arrival of columbus to caribbean

    Five hundred and twenty five years ago, Christopher Columbus, under the patronage of the
    Spanish crown, embarked on a journey to find a western route to Asia. December 5, 1492,
    Columbus and his crew landed on an island that he named la isla espanola, ‘The Spanish island ,’
    which was eventually anglicized to Hispaniola. Haiti now occupies the western third of the
    island, and the remaining eastern two thirds of the island make up the Dominican Republic.
    In Hispaniola, Columbus established Spain's first colony in the new world. As a result, he is the
    European explorer who is generally credited with originating and chronicling sea routes to the
    western hemisphere. During the early colonial period, Hispaniola’s key location on the northern
    edge of the caribbean sea made the colony the logistical base for Spain's conquest of most of the
    western hemisphere. Columbus thereby initiated an era of exploration, subjugation, and
    colonization that lasted for centuries. The explorer has been accused by many historians of
    initiation the genocide of Hisaniola’s indigenous arawak oulatin, and he is also considered by
    some to be originator of the transatlantic salve trade.
    Political Impact
    Throughout his life, Christopher Columbus led four voyages to North America, bringing
    European riches in the form of slaves, new crops, and gold. Docking his ships in what is now
    San Salvador. Columbus began a chain of events that would forever alter the history of the
    Americas. Although the action of Columbus was far from morally just, the impact of his voyages
    were widespread and can be seen today. Columbus ‘negative legacy empowered Spain to
    conquer the role of the American, devastated the family and religion structure of the native
    peoples, also starting triangular trade, and brought European nations great wealth at the cost of
    indigenous lives. Columbus's arrival to the new world brought on many political effects both in
    the old world as well as the new world. Initially, Christopher Columbus had gone to the
    Portuguese for financial backing and had an earlier mariner Bartolomeu Dias.
