Christopher Columbus :)
Columbus thought he could reach India by going west. He ran into America. India was the place where spices came (come) from and they were expensive. A fast trade route to India was seen as very much worth the price of three boats and crew.
King Ferdinand of Spain sent Amerigo Vespucci on voyages to explore the New World, specifically to the coast of South America. Vespucci's voyages helped contribute to the understanding of the geography of the Americas, and he is considered one of the early explorers of the region.
Ferdinand Hayden was an American geologist and explorer known for his significant contributions to the exploration and understanding of the American West, particularly Yellowstone National Park. He led the 1871 Hayden Geological Survey, which provided detailed maps and scientific insights into the region's unique geothermal features. His work was crucial in advocating for the establishment of Yellowstone as the first national park in the United States in 1872, marking a pivotal moment in the conservation movement. Hayden's efforts helped raise public awareness about the natural wonders of the West and the importance of preserving them for future generations.
Amerigo Vespucci did not make the first map of America. The first map of America is generally credited to Martin Waldseemüller in 1507, who named the continent after Vespucci. Vespucci was an Italian explorer who participated in voyages to the New World and provided accounts that helped popularize the idea of a new continent.
Amerigo Vespucci was an Italian explorer who played a key role in the early exploration of the Americas. He did not "find" America, as it was already inhabited by indigenous peoples. However, Vespucci's voyages helped to promote the idea of a New World separate from Asia.
Christopher Columbus was the explorer.
There are a number of steps which helped Spain to become a strong centralized monarchy. The alliance formed by Ferdinand and Isabella to eject Moors was one of the critical steps.
Christopher Columbus asked Queen Elizabeth for ships to fight the spanish.
I think it was King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella.
When Christopher went to king Ferdinand to fianance his journey queen Isabella was married to Ferdinand and they both agreed to fianance his journey so he discovered the new world. I guess you could say that he helped pay for his expenses,so we have America here now.
King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella of Spain helped Columbus on his voyage.

Actually, there was not much convincing to do. King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella were eager to send an explorer to the "New World," with the hope he would find riches that could be claimed by Spain; also, the Queen was a fervent Catholic and she hoped the native populations could be converted.
