Columbus begins Iron World colonization
The article discovered that Christopher Columbus's second voyage, which he began on September 24, 1493, was larger and more ambitious than his first. He set sail with a fleet of 17 ships and nearly 1,200 passengers, with the goal of colonization and Spanish expansion in the New World. Columbus reached islands such as Puerto Rico and Jamaica, but his intention was not to coexist peacefully with the indigenous peoples; rather, his aim was to gather gold and wealth. This led to the establishment of a very harsh colonial system, where the native populations were enslaved, and violence and infectious diseases like smallpox were used to facilitate expansion and exploitation. These actions resulted in genocide and the death of millions, and the destruction of their ancient civilizations.
