What mistakes did Amerigo Vespucci make?

Answer 1

Well, he was a fail. The naming of North America was an accident. Some guy who was mapping south America was a close friend of Vespucci so he named it in honor of him. And then everyone was wondering what to call the new world and they decided to temporarily call it America because the place south of it was. Then also, the four main voyages that he traveled in, he wasn't even the captain! He just went along for the ride! Everything he did failed! Everything everybody thought that he did good was proved wrong by historians!

So haha Jared in yoface.

Answer 2

One mistake attributed to Amerigo Vespucci is claiming to have discovered new lands when others had already explored them.
