What did Amerigo Vespucci hope to find?

Answer 1

Amerigo Vespucci sailed west and explored the coast of South America. He studied the writings of an ancient Egyptian named Ptolemy, who believed the Earth was largerand Asia was smaller than most people thought. Vespucci also found a new way of measuring the distance traveled east and west, and concluded that a new world had been discovered. Martin Waldseemuller drew a map, and included the new continent, which he named for Vespucci. In 1507, the continent "America" first appeared on a map.

Answer 2

Amerigo Vespucci hoped to find a sea route to Asia by sailing westward, which is why he explored the coast of South America in the late 15th and early 16th centuries. He is best known for realizing that the lands he encountered were not part of Asia but a new continent, which eventually led to the naming of America after him.
