Features: A major calculation error in history may have led to the discovery of the New World. On August 2, 1492, Christopher Columbus set sail with his ships, certain that sailing west across the Atlantic would lead him to India. However, after nearly a month at sea, Columbus arrived at an unexpected small island—San Salvador Island, opening the gateway to two new continents unknown to Europeans. Columbus made four voyages to the New World in total, each filled with thrilling and experiences, fully demonstrating his extraordinary navigational skills. In his later years, Columbus died in frustration and solitude, unaware of the immense wealth he left behind for Spain and all of Europe—a new continent.
