Columbus was before him in 1492 and didn’t change Columbus.
Amerigo Vespucci's explorations in the late 15th and early 16th centuries led to the realization that the lands discovered by Columbus were part of a new continent, not Asia as originally thought. This led to the naming of the continent after him, "America," and played a crucial role in shaping our understanding of the world and its geography.
Amerigo Vespucci changed the world by exploring and mapping the coast of South America, leading to the recognition of the continent as a separate landmass from Asia. His detailed accounts of the New World helped popularize the idea of a new continent, which was later named after him - America. This significantly impacted European understanding of geography and navigation, shaping the course of world exploration and colonization.
Amerigo Vespucci's discoveries, particularly that the lands he encountered were not part of the known continents of Europe, Asia, or Africa, helped to shape the understanding of the New World. This led to the use of the name "America" in his honor, which became the accepted label for the continents now known as North and South America. His findings contributed to a new understanding of global geography and ultimately influenced the age of exploration and colonization.

Christopher Columbus forced Native Americans to convert to Christianity as a means of cultural assimilation and control. He believed that converting them would make them more compliant to Spanish rule and more easily exploited as laborers. This was a common practice during the era of colonization.
