Amerigo Vespucci took a total of three known voyages to the Americas between 1497 and 1504. Throughout these expeditions, he explored various regions along the South American coast, therefore distinguishing himself as a noteworthy explorer.
The Italian navigator Amerigo Vespucci developed a method of calculating longitude, employed by Spain Vespucci argued that the new world was a separate continent not connected to Asia thus adding a forth to the known three. In modern terms Vespucci's difficulties are that Columbus discovered the New World prior to Vespucci's voyages. I take it you know America was named after him?
Amerigo Vespucci took navigational instruments, maps, writing materials, and provisions such as food, water, and clothes on his voyages. Additionally, he would have also taken items like tools, religious artifacts, and trade goods with him to exchange with indigenous peoples he encountered.
Very few, if any. He went along on some (fairly uneventful) travels to South America but in a very minor capacity and not as an 'explorer'. Back home, he wrote about the lands he had visited (as did many others, by the way) but never was seen as the ultimate authority on the newly discovered world. It would have been much of a pleasant surprise to him and the people around him that a German map-maker decided to link his name to the territory - possibly just because the map-maker had recently seen or read one of his travel-books.Later historians have much debated whether America really was named after Amerigo Vespucci. A majority still thinks so, for lack of any more plausible source of the name. Others have argued that the earliest map of parts of the North American coast has been drawn up by an expedition financed by a group of British merchants led by Richard Ameryk and that this earliest map already calls the land "America", meaning "the lands found by the Ameryk expedition".The jury is still out on this, with good ol' Amerigo so far having the best papers.

Amerigo Vespucci was an explorer, cartographer and navigator. He made four voyages to the New World but mainly to the South American continent. He is known for proving that the New World was not Asia but a previously unknown fourth (and fifth) continent.

Natives did not except the Europeans being on their territory. The Europeans tried to take control and make natives convert their religion to Christianity or make them their slaves. They usually did take control because they had superior weapons compared to the natives.
