When did the Europeans reach the Americas?

Usually 1492 is given as the year that Europeans- represented by Christopher Columbus- arrived in North America. This is because that was when Europe became fully aware of the existence of the continent, and had the technology and resources to exploit it. However, it is generally accepted that Europeans did visit North America prior to that time. Around the 1000-1100's, Vikings appear to have settled in parts of Canada. It is also possible that people were able to visit North America before then. There are claims out there that Phoenicians (people related to the ancient Jews who were originally from the Middle East but later also lived in North Africa and Spain), Chinese and Africans may have visited or settled in North America.
