Christian Spain was revitalized by the expulsion of the Muslim Occupiers back to Africa. Freed from heavy military expenses Ferdinand and Isabella financed Columbus' expedition to the New World, after he was refused by the king of Portugal in 1492. Columbus failed to sail to India by the Westward Route when He discovered America by Mistake. Columbus never realized his mistake during his lifetime. Amerigo Vespucci proposed that Columbus had discovered a new Continent. Cartographers thus named the new continent America instead of Columbia. It pays to know what you are talking about.
