Christopher Columbus arrived in the continent of North America in 1492, specifically landing in what is now known as the Bahamas. This marked the beginning of European exploration and colonization of the Americas.
Amerigo Vespucci, an Italian explorer and cartographer, is credited for proving that Columbus had discovered a new continent. He conducted several voyages to the Americas and mapped the coastlines, ultimately demonstrating that Columbus had not reached Asia as originally believed.
Christopher Columbus wrote about his voyages to the new continent in his journal.
