Spanish king who promoted the expeditions of Columbus and Vespucci?

King Ferdinand of Spain supported and sponsored the expeditions of Christopher Columbus and Amerigo Vespucci. He played a crucial role in financing and organizing these journeys which ultimately led to the discovery of the New World.


How did Vespucci prove Magellan and Columbus wrong?

Amerigo Vespucci proved Magellan and Columbus wrong by demonstrating that the lands discovered by Columbus were not part of Asia, as Columbus had believed, but rather a separate continent altogether. Through his voyages, particularly those along the coast of South America, Vespucci gathered evidence that indicated a vast landmass was present, which he described in his letters and maps. His observations contributed to the realization that there were two distinct continents in the Western Hemisphere, leading to the naming of America in his honor. This fundamentally shifted European understanding of the geography of the New World.


Why did Amerigo Vespucci judge Christopher Columbus?

Amerigo Vespucci did not judge Christopher Columbus. While both were explorers during the Age of Discovery, Vespucci is known for being the first to suggest that the newly discovered lands were part of a separate continent, which later led to the continent being named after him (America). Columbus and Vespucci did not serve on the same exploratory missions.
