How did Columbus's voyages change global interactions?
My voyages, undertaken for the glory of God and the prosperity of Their Highnesses, initiated an exchange unlike any seen before.

The peoples here, though of a different nature, could be brought into the fold of Christendom. My expeditions laid the groundwork for future exploration and the establishment of new settlements, fostering trade and the transmission of knowledge between the Old World and the New. This interconnectedness, though fraught with challenges, was a divine unfolding.
