A5. Columbus for sure (in the Western world). In Asia, I would say Zheng He (14-15th centuries). His expeditions brought him to Southeast Asia, India and Arabia, established trade routes, the Chinese diaspora and Asian linguistic studies, amongst others.

A5 I think Columbus has to take this one. His voyage to the new world was devastating for the local peoples but profitable and game changing for the European powers that sent him there.
