Here's a brief timeline of his voyages:
* First Voyage (1492): He landed in the Bahamas, believing he had reached the East Indies. He also explored Cuba and Hispaniola.
* Second Voyage (1493-1496): He established the first permanent European settlement in the Americas on Hispaniola, and explored more of the Caribbean.
* Third Voyage (1498-1500): He landed on the coast of South America, claiming it for Spain. He was accused of mismanagement and arrested, but was eventually pardoned by the Spanish crown.
* Fourth Voyage (1502-1504): He explored Central America, looking for a passage to the East Indies.
While Columbus's voyages were pivotal in European exploration, it's important to remember that his actions led to the exploitation and enslavement of indigenous people.
