For all practical purposes, Christopher Columbus was the first European to discover the Americas. This being said with the understanding that the islands he landed on in the Caribbean Sea were and are part of the Americas. It is acknowledged that there is a semblance of a case that the Americas were first discovered by Lief Erricson. If so, they had no impact compared to the Columbus voyages.
No, Hoei Shin did not discover America. Christopher Columbus is credited with being the first European to reach the Americas in 1492.
Christopher Columbus (October 30, 1451? - 20 May 1506) was an explorer and trader who first crossed the Atlantic Ocean and reached the Americas in 1492, sailing under the flag of the Kingdom of Castile.
He wanted to find a direct water route west from Europe to Asia, but he never did. Instead, he accidentally stumbled upon the Americas.
Typically, all credit is given to Christopher Columbus, but this claim is a common misconceptions. In reality, the first to discover the Americas were the Vikings who preceded Columbus by about 500 years.
Yes it is true. When Columbus came to the Americas he found people already living there (called Native Americans). The only real discovery involved was informing Europe about them on his return.
