His expedition went ashore the same day — on what
was probably Watling Island in the Bahamas — and
claimed the land for Isabella and Ferdinand of Spain.
Columbus had set sail from Palos, Spain,
with three small ships, the Santa Maria,
the Pinta and the Nina, on August 3.
He was attempting to find a western ocean route to China,
India and the fabled gold and spice islands of Asia.
Instead, Columbus became the first European
to explore the Americas since the Vikings set
up colonies in Greenland and Newfoundland.
Over the next century, the riches
of the New World would help
make Spain the wealthiest and
most powerful nation on Earth
Homes Linked to Diddy , Are Raided by Federal Officials.
HSI New York "executed law enforcement actions
as part of an ongoing investigation with assistance
from HSI Los Angeles, HSI Miami and our local law enforcement partners" on March 25, authorities said.
Sean "Diddy" Combs does not own the home in Los Angeles, but the mansion has ties with his company, Bad Boys Film Production.
The Miami residence, however, was bought
by Combs in 2021, NPR reports. .
Phones belonging to Combs
were seized by Homeland Security
officials in Miami prior to the 54-year-old
attempting to board a flight to the Bahamas.
The motive for the raids has not been made clear, .
but they follow a lawsuit alleging that Diddy leads an enterprise that could be considered a "widespread and dangerous criminal sex trafficking organization.".
I drive by a lot, and I see that — a lot of girls, maybe five or six girls outside, some leaving, some not, some going in. I never thought anything of it. But now, it’s crazy, Ryan Mendelsohn, 20, who used to live
in and still frequents the area, via NBC News.
The rapper and producer has also been accused
of the "solicitation and distribution of illegal narcotics and firearms," NBC News reports. .
That suit follows other claims of sexual misconduct, assault, sex trafficking and rape, most notably put forth by Combs' ex-girlfriend, Cassie Ventura. .
Producer Rodney "Lil Rod" Jones has also
sued Diddy for alleged sexual assault.

The diplomatic rift between Mexico and Ecuador intensified dramatically following a dramatic incident where Ecuadorian authorities forcefully entered Mexico's embassy in Quito to apprehend Jorge Glas, the former vice president of Ecuador. Glas, who was arrested late Friday, had previously been convicted of bribery and corruption charges and is still under investigation for other alleged offences. The arrest sparked widespread condemnation from leaders across the Americas, leading Mexico's president to declare the severance of diplomatic relations with Ecuador. Glas had sought asylum in Mexico and had been residing in the embassy since December, with Mexico granting asylum only on Friday.
