Geographical discoveries in Spain
[]

In 1492, Queen Isabella sponsored Christopher Columbus's expedition, hoping to find a westward route to the Indian Ocean instead of the South African route, which was held by the Portuguese under the Treaty of Alkasuvash. Columbus did not arrive in Asia after all, but he unexpectedly discovered a new continent, the American continent. The discovery of a new route to the "Asian Continent" (what Europeans call "Indian") led Spain and Portugal to renew their disputes over the division of spheres of influence. Finally, under the intervention and mediation of Pope Alexander VI, the two countries signed the Treaty of Todd Silias in 1494, which delimited Europe for both countries. Outside the continent, we know the sphere of influence in the world. The meridian of the 370 mile west of Cape Verde Islands has become the dividing line between the two countries. The boundary goes east to Portugal, that is, Africa, Asia and the eastern part of South America (a small part of northeastern Brazil); West to Spain, that is, the vast majority of the continents of the Americas, the islands of the Pacific Ocean and the land not yet discovered at that time.

With the support of the King of Spain, he sailed four times (1492-1493, 1493-1496, 1498-1500, 1502-1504). Opened the way across the Atlantic to America. Successively arrived in Bahamian archipelago, Cuba, Haiti, Dominica, Trinidad and other islands.

Columbo discovered a lot of gold and mineral resources in the American continent, and then contributed to the country.
