Both Christopher Columbus and Vasco da Gama embarked on significant voyages during the Age of Exploration. Columbus, sailing for Spain, is known for his transatlantic expedition in 1492, which ultimately led to the European colonization of the Americas. On the other hand, Da Gama, sailing for Portugal, embarked on a voyage in 1497-1498. His journey aimed to find a sea route to India and establish profitable trade connections with the East. Ultimately, both voyages contributed immensely to the exploration and expansion of European powers beyond their traditional borders.
