Thank you for using the Jiskha Homework Help Forum. First of all, please do not use capital letters, except at the beginning of a sentence! In computer language, it is considered rude, like shouting. Besides, it is far more difficult to read. Some volunteer teachers won't even attempt to read this.

Please don't type in such a bizarre combination of caps and lower case levels. Your question would be much easier to read if you used standard English caps and lower case letters.

Christopher Columbus is famous for his exploration of the Americas in the late 15th and early 16th centuries. He made four voyages across the Atlantic Ocean, and while the exact results and years of his explorations may vary based on specific events and interpretations, I can provide a general overview of his expeditions.
1. First Voyage (1492 - 1493): Columbus set sail from Spain on August 3, 1492, with three ships (the Santa Maria, the Pinta, and the Niña). After several weeks, he reached the Bahamas in the Caribbean and then explored other nearby islands, believing that he had found a new route to Asia. He returned to Spain in March 1493.
2. Second Voyage (1493 - 1496): Columbus embarked on his second voyage on September 24, 1493. This time, he had a larger fleet of seventeen ships and approximately 1,200 men. He explored several Caribbean islands, including Puerto Rico and Dominica, as well as the northern coasts of present-day Venezuela and the Dominican Republic.
3. Third Voyage (1498 - 1500): Columbus embarked on his third voyage on May 30, 1498. He sailed further south, reaching the coast of South America (specifically the mouth of the Orinoco River). He explored various islands in the Caribbean, including Trinidad and Tobago, and encountered harsh weather and conflicts with his crew during this voyage.
4. Fourth Voyage (1502 - 1504): Columbus's fourth and final voyage began on May 9, 1502. He aimed to find a western route to Asia, but instead, he explored the coasts of Central America, including what is now Honduras, Panama, and Costa Rica. He faced numerous hardships, including shipwrecks and mutiny, and he returned to Spain in November 1504.
It is important to note that Columbus's expeditions had significant historical implications, including the European colonization of the Americas, although the details and consequences of his voyages are complex and debated among historians.
