NEGATIVE - he brought previously unknown diseases to the Americas, causing thousands of deaths.
NEGATIVE - his crew brought previously unknown diseases back to Europe.
POSITIVE - his discovery allowed a period of expansion when the land in Europe was all spoken for. The restless element, including the religious radicals, went to the New World.
POSITIVE - improvements in technology, including weapons and navigation and naval ships, BUT also including agriculture and food production.
POSITIVE - new foods introduced on both sides of the Atlantic.
NEGATIVE - the people who had the land lost it. The people who wanted it got it.
Look at that last bit in the context of the modern world. In this day and age every bit of land is claimed by someone and there is someone else who wants it. Because we have not expanded into space, there is no new land and every land grab is violent.
WE NEED SPACE NOW.

For one thing, the original 'discoverers of America' don't get any credit for the discovery. The American Indians, who migrated here tens of thousands of years ago, were the original discoverers.
Secondly, after Columbus arrived, the natives of America were the recipients of many diseases for which they had no immunities or means of fighting.
Thirdly, Leif Erikson gets left out of the picture quite a bit. He was here before Columbus.
Do some research and come up with your own reasons.

If columbus had not came to the Americas, the entire course of existence would have changed.

Seriously, you can look this up so easily on the internet. Try wikipedia, or google "effects columbus voyages"

How can you expect other people to do your homework for you? That's not homework help. That's cheating.
