According to history Christopher Columbus was the man that discover the Caribbean Island and the Americas, if you ask any American who discover America they’ll tell you the same thing. However, people will argue that if Columbus discovered America then why were people already there. These people have built civilizations in the Americas and in the Caribbean Islands. Therefore Christopher Columbus could not have discovered America if there was civilizations already there as long as Spain.

However, you can make the Augment that the Vikings came to America before Columbus. But the Vikings never share their discovery with the rest of the world, but Columbus did he has to be given a title as the man who broth the two worlds of Europe and the Americas together. Which helps Spain and other European countries gain economic wealth, for their military technology of the time far exceeds the Natives in the Americas. Which cause the European countries to come and conquer the people and that their resources easily. Therefore Columbus discovered wealth for many European nations, and is a cornerstone for European dominance because of its new found wealth in the Americas and Caribbean Islands.
