Columbus Day and Indigenous Peoples' Day will both be celebrated on October 14 (Credit: ndepeendenceks.gov/ Public Domain)

Columbus Day is observed annually on the second Monday of October. It commemorates Christopher Columbus's arrival in the Americas in 1492. However, this US federal holiday, which falls on October 14 this year, has often been a topic of debate. Many believe that the European settlers' mistreatment of the Native American people is not a cause for celebration.

                  While it is true that indigenous peoples had already inhabited the continent, and Vikings had already discovered North America, in reality the Vikings only went as far as Canada and did not establish any permanent settlements. Columbus was more so the first man to bridge the gap between the Old World and the New World and set off the Age of Discovery.
