    Christopher Columbus set sail in 1492 hoping to find a new trade route to Asia but instead discovered lands that would later be known as the Americas. He convinced the King and Queen of Spain to fund his voyage by arguing that the Earth was round and Asia could be reached by sailing west. Upon arriving in the Americas, Columbus encountered native peoples who he incorrectly referred to as "Indians," believing he had reached Asia. The discovery of the New World led to new trading opportunities and the introduction of crops between Europe and the Americas like potatoes, tomatoes, and corn.
