Columbus's description of the Caribbean islands aligned with Spain's motivations for sending him there - wealth and expansion. If Columbus had complete freedom to explore without specific goals, his observations would likely have been more open-ended and diverse. This could have led to a deeper understanding of the world and its inhabitants. It might have affected world history by fostering more peaceful and respectful interactions, promoting cultural exchange, and potentially delaying or altering European dominance in the Americas. These predictions are speculative but highlight the potential impacts of different approaches to exploration and colonization.
