Christopher Columbus's expedition made landfall in the Americas, specifically on an island in the Bahamas known as Guanahani by the native inhabitants, which Columbus renamed San Salvador. This event marked the end of the pre-Columbian era and initiated European exploration and colonization of the Americas, opening contact between the Old World and New World.
