How do the achievements of this person impact our society today? The achievements of Isabella I, Queen of Spain impact our society today because without her urge to push people to explore, Christopher Columbus found the Americas. Without this discovery, we wouldn't be here right now. Also, we would not have made any of the discoveries about science, mathematics, or anything that was discovered after this discovery was made. Thanks to her sense of adventure, we are here today with the things we have. With this comes a lot of bad things because of peoples exploration but we have so many good ideas rather then bad today.
