Historians have a hard time agreeing about Vespucci. Some think that he went to sea as a rich tourist on an expedition commanded by Alonso de Ojeda.. Other people think he had command of at least one ship, and had to make careful measurements of the stars. His main goal was to locate a star that he thought was above the South pole just as there was one above the North pole. If he found it, explorers would be able to find latitude in the Southern Hemisphere. When Ojeda and Vespucci reached the land that Columbus thought was the Garden of Eden, they split up to find pearls. They met up in Hispaniola. Before he found the star that he was looking for, he was forced to turn back by the currents. If only he had found that star, the problem of longitude would be solved and he would become famous. Several months, after Ojeda had left, Vespucci sailed back to Spain. Amerigo Vespucci wrote a letter to his friend Lorenzo, who was the ruler of Florence. The letter contained facts about his experiences on what he called,"the extreme limits of Asia."After he returned, Vespucci was going over his notes to determine where he had been, and to his surprise he found out that he had crossed the Line of Demarcation, made by Pope Alexander VI. He actually had seen the north end of Brazil, ten months before Carbral! Once Cabral landed in Brazil, King Manuel was curious to find out how much land Portugal owned. Vespucci wanted to return so King Manuel gave him permission and ships to make discoveries, but not to gain wealth. Vespucci was eager to return. Maybe this time he could find that star or even find a new strait. If he did, he knew that he would be famous. Vespucci mapped the Portuguese territory and named harbors as he sailed down the coast of Brazil. Vespucci wanted to learn more about basically everything! Although Vespucci didn't find the star, or strait, he did give map makers 3,300 miles more to add to their maps. Even though he did not accomplish his goal, he did believe that he had found an unknown continent.The accomplishments of Amerigo Vespucci are vague. He is known to have sailed to Brazil. He did give 3,100 new map markers during his trips along Brazil's shorelines.He founded the Americas and a map maker named Martin Waldseemuller named it America after Amerigo Vespucci.Amerigo main accomplishment is he sailed to Spain.

When the new World was founded, it was first by the Viking Eric the Red, who did not mention about it much in his travel,then it was about Colubus and Amerigo Vespuci
If by Amerigo you mean Amerigo Vespucci? Well, he founded nothing. He affirmed that America was not part of Asia, contrary to the common belief back then. He was an Italian charlatan/cartographer/merchant who managed to convince Europe that he was great and charted the newly-discovered lands to the West. He never actually stole credit form anyone, it was a combined effort with Christopher Columbus, due to proven letters sent and received from both Columbus and Vespucci. So then you really think that both men should receive equal credit.
