  3. Christopher Columbus October 31, 1451 – May 20, 1506 was an explorer, colonizer, and navigator, born in the Republic of Genoa, in northwestern Italy. Under the help of the Catholic King and Queen of Spain, he completed four voyages across the Atlantic Ocean that led to general European awareness of the American continents in Europe. Those voyages, and his efforts to establish permanent settlements in the island of Hispaniola, initiated the process of Spanish colonization, which led to the colonization of the "New World". Hispaniola (Spanish: La Española) is a major island in the Caribbean, containing the two sovereign states of the Dominican Republic and Haiti.
