Christopher Columbus was a well-known Italian explorer and coloniser. He is best known for the completion of four voyages across the Atlantic Ocean that opened up the New World to further European conquest. Columbus originally embarked on the journey hoping to find a route westward towards India and the Far East in order to tap into the spice trade.
