Since Christopher Columbus never actually landed on "mainland" America.......what is now USA, Mexico, and Canada,
there was no direct effect.
Since he proved there were lots of rich islands 3,000 miles west of Europe, he started the whole colonial expansion of Europe into first South America, then Mexico, the Caribbean Islands and then North ( ie USA) America
