Discover - to see, find, or become aware of (something) for the first time Columbus found a continent that a lot of people already knew about. Where's the discovery? Oh, does he get credit because they weren't European?

When Christopher Columbus first landed in the Americas in 1492, he believed he had reached the outskirts of Asia and referred to the land as "San Salvador," which means "Holy Savior" in Spanish. Columbus named the specific island he landed on in the Bahamas this way, although the exact island is still a topic of debate. His exploration was initially driven by the search for a westward route to Asia, not the discovery of a new continent.

Yes. In 1492 Columbus sailed across the Atlantic Ocean with three boats, the Santa Maria, the Pinta, and the Nina. He and his crew were trying to find India. Where he landed was what we now call the United States of America.
