The Americas and Europe were separate worlds until the late 1400s, when European sailors and explorers began to arrive. Over the next century, they explored this rich new land, coming into conflict with the people who already lived there. The two worlds would never be the same again. Who where the first people to live in the Americas? Why did Columbus sail west? How did Native Americans react to European explorers?

Christopher Columbus was not the first to discover the Americas, but his voyages led to European exploration of the New World. Rich in resources and natural beauty, the Americas were irresistible to gold-hungry conquistadors. The newcomers gave little thought to those who had called the lands their home, and exploration soon came to signify conquest. The New World -- and the lives of its inhabitants -- would be changed forever.
