Respuesta :

A colony is a territory under the immediate complete political control and occupied by settlers of a state, distinct from the home territory of the sovereign. Christopher Columbus was an Italian explorer and navigator who completed four voyages across the Atlantic Ocean, opening the way for European exploration and colonization of the Americas which made way for mass colonization.

Explanation:

a colony is a country or area under the full or partial political control of another country, typically a distant one, and occupied by settlers from that country. Columbus helped colonize the Americans because European countries began to claim territories in North America to expand their influence in the new lands. But slowly, the countries began to settle these areas to protect their newly claimed territories.
