Christopher Columbus and His Voyage to The Bahamas: The First Encounter with the Lucayan Inhabitants
Christopher Columbus is often recognized for his historic voyage in 1492 that led to the discovery of the "New World" by European powers. This momentous event marked the beginning of the Age of Exploration, a time when European nations sought to expand their knowledge of the world, colonize distant lands, and establish new trade routes. One of the first places Columbus reached on this journey was the Bahamas, where he encountered the indigenous Lucayan people. This interaction would set the stage for centuries of European colonization, exploitation, and cultural change in the Americas.
