Christophe Colomb
Christophe Colomb, known as Christopher Columbus in English, was an Italian explorer and navigator whose voyages across the Atlantic Ocean opened the way for the widespread European exploration and colonization of the Americas. His expeditions, funded by the Spanish Crown, began in 1492 and are often credited with bridging the gap between the Old and New Worlds, despite the controversial legacy of his encounters with indigenous peoples.
