Christopher Columbus was significant to his time and to the history of the United States of America because of many social, political, economic, and diplomatic reasons. For example, Columbus was the first person to create a interest in colonization of the New World. His voyage spurned all the other voyages, it created a race to see who could have the most colonies/land and make the most money. He also exposed the natives with diseases they couldn’t fight, and he started the biological tactics that the European countries would later utilize. Columbus was extremely significant not only to the existence of the USA and the map lines drawn in all over North
