What year did Vespucci prove Columbus wrong'?

Amerigo Vespucci did not necessarily "prove Columbus wrong." The discrepancy between Columbus' belief that he had reached Asia and Vespucci's realization that he had discovered a new continent led to the use of the name "America" in his honor. This occurred during the early 1500s.


Did Amerigo Vespucci travel with Christopher Clumbus?

No, he didn't. Columbus landed in the New World in 1492, a few years before Vespucci, but because of bad word of mouth during this time, a cartographer, Martin Waldseemuller, mistakenly thought Vespucci had landed in the New World before Christopher Columbus after an account of Vespucci's 1497 expedition was published. Waldseemuller maned the continent America after him.

Amerigo Vespucci did not set out to prove Columbus wrong.
