Columbus landed in the New World in 1492, a few years before Vespucci, but because of bad word of mouth during this time, a cartographer, Martin Waldseemuller, mistakenly thought Vespucci had landed in the New World before Christopher Columbus after an account of Vespucci's 1497 expedition was published. Waldseemuller maned the continent America after him.
Amerigo Vespucci died in Spain on February 22, 1512 of an unknown illness, which some attribute to Malaria. At the time of his death he was married, to Maria Cerezo. They were together for 7 years then Amerigo died. Before then though, Amerigo sailed on 4 voyages between the years 1497-1503. On his 3 voyage though, that's when he discovered that what Columbus had discovered was not Asia, it was new land, now named after him, America.Fact: Some people say he was born on March 9, 1451.
