Difficulties do historians encounter in using Columbus’ journals and 16th-century European engravings as sources for understanding the encounter between European explorers and indigenous peoples of the New World c. 1492 (The Americas). How would you advise historians to approach these sources.

• His interactions with the Indigenous people he referred to as "Indians" have been controversial for three reasons: the use of force and slavery, the forced conversion of native peoples to Christianity, and the introduction of a number of new diseases that would have devastating long-term effects on native people.
• Both Europeans and Americans saw major life changes as a result of his discoveries: new flora and animals crossed the ocean, millions of people moved, new empires formed and fell, and new nations and civilizations emerged. Columbus therefore had a significant influence on history and was a primary cause of many of the.
• Columbus is known to have kept a journal of his travels, which was used to document his daily activities and provide proof to the Catholic Monarchs.
• That presumption had been made by Columbus himself. His discoveries presented an identifying challenge, just like they did for others. Finding the appropriate old names seemed to be more important than giving new areas names, and the same was true of the things that the new lands included. Columbus believed the exotic flora and trees were strange mainly because he was unfamiliar with the writings of persons who did know them because he was charmed by the beauty and variety of what he saw while sailing through the Caribbean. Because I don't recognise them, he said, "I am the saddest man in the world."
