Columbus was right about the world being round.
San Salvador. He claimed he had reached Asia but he didn't. Amerigo Vespucci proved Columbus wrong be following the same route he did and found nothing like what he described.
Eratosthenes proved the world is flat theory wrong
I think Columbus is a Italian explorer who sailed the ocean in 1492 and landed in the Caribbean. I also think that he is a mean man who treated the Arawak's wrong and treated them like salves. So in conclusion, i think that Christepher Columbus is lucky that he got out of jail and got to go another voyage when he treated the Arawak's (the people who live in the Caribbean) very wrong.
He realized that the new world (North America) wasn't China.
In the event both Columbus was wrong (the earth was bigger then he thought) and common wisdom was wrong (180 degrees between Europe and Asia to the west was not all water, America was in the way). Columbus died believing he had opened up a direct route to Asia.
