Event

The arrival of Christopher Columbus and his contingent of sailors in the New World in 1492 while trying to chart a new maritime route to Asia started one of the most significant periods of global transformation in human history. The exchange of goods, plants, and animals between continents alone, known as the Columbian Exchange, would bear dire consequences for the people of the Americas who faced immediate introduction to virulent Old World pathogens. Further, the meeting would trigger the start of a new era of European exploration, colonization, and exploitation off the back of the material wealth held by the Americas.
