There were First Nations settlements already there, and lots of clean land ( meaning lots of nature that was unharmed).

What did Amerigo Vespucci hope to accomplish?

Amerigo Vespucci hoped to explore and map the new lands discovered by Christopher Columbus, and to contribute to the understanding of the geography of the Americas. He also sought to promote his own reputation as an explorer and cartographer.


When did Columbus find the new world?

he didn't- he sailed to the Americas (accidentally) in 1498 (Columbus "discovered" the West Indies in 1492, but didn't discover the mainland of the America's until his third voyage in 1498) btw Galileo discovered that the earth was round


Where did Amerigo Vespucci want to go?

Amerigo Vespucci planned to go to the same places that Columbus had gone. He wanted to see for himself what Columbus had experienced, but he missed the West Indies altogether. One his first voyage he was not the captain of the ship.


Why were Amerigo Vespucci's findings so important?

Amerigo Vespucci's findings were important because they challenged the prevailing belief that Christopher Columbus had reached Asia when he landed in the Americas. Vespucci's voyages helped popularize the idea that a new continent had been discovered, leading to the use of the term "America" in his honor. This contributed to the eventual recognition of the Americas as separate continents.


How are Columbus and Vespucci different?

He concluded that the land discovered was larger than previously believed, and different from the Asia described by Ptolemy and Marco Polo and therefore was an entirely new continent
