Best Answer

The fact that America got in the way of the 8000 mile voyage across two oceans. (He thought that the trip would be less than 3000 because of some silly calculations about the shape of the earth - he thought it was more egg shaped than round.

Note, in 1492 ALL navigators knew the Earth was a sphere - the first globe was built in 1491
