the conclusion that Vespucci had formed about the lands that he, Columbus, and Cabato had reached is that the land he, Columbus, and cabato had reached was not Asia. The land that they had found had to be another Continent.....the "new world" that some Europeans thought might be there.
The first land that Christopher Columbus reached was an island in the Caribbean that he named San Salvador. He arrived there on October 12, 1492, during his first voyage across the Atlantic. The exact location of San Salvador is debated, but it is generally believed to be part of the present-day Bahamas.
