Nil to none. Vespucci lied in his books about his trips and he DID NOT discover America. He went along the coast of South America in 3 voyages. In 1890 it was proven his stories were not true, but the myth seems to have persisted that he discovered America. America was given its name by a German map maker who believed his stories. He was called Martin Waldseemuller.
The above answer is partially true. Amerigo Vespucci did not truly discover America, however, he did make the world notice that Columbus had discovered a new continent. Columbus had believed he had arrived in Asia when actually discovering the New World. It was Amerigo Vespucci who made it known that this was not Asia, but rather a new landmass.
He was the first European to realize that the new world was actually a continent, not an archipelago. He also realized that it was a completely new continent, not China nor the Indies, as Columbus thought. The name that continent bears today, America, was first used by Martin Waldseemueller, a German cartographer, in honor of Amerigo Vespucci, in a map made in 1502.
Vespucci sailed around the world and a man named Martin Walseemuller named the ''New World'' after Amerigo Vespucci when he was making a new map because of his fascinating letters...
He made a significant scientific contribution to society.
