Did the encounter with the New World broaden early modern European horizons?

The New World had been discovered by accident as Christopher Columbus had been hoping to sail to the East Indies and China by sailing westwards from Spain. Although Christopher Columbus was initially disappointed to have only reached the West Indies, further explorations by him and others showed that the New World had a great deal could broaden the early modern European horizons. The first Europeans that reached the New World were primarily after treasures that would make them wealthy, as well as the glory and prestige of conquering new empires. However, as the following will amply demonstrate there was much more than silver and gold that had the affect of broadening the early modern European Chorizo that came from the New World. Indications of how much the discovery and the subsequent colonisation of the New World broadened the early modern European Chorizo can be drawn from examining what happened in the Americas besides evaluating how it altered things in Europe.
