There are TONS! Probably the most important two are:

1. Christopher Columbus, who set forth in 1492 to try to find a water route to Asia by crossing the Atlantic Ocean. He found North and South America, which later became known as the New World.

2. Amerigo Vespucci, who discovered that the New World was not Asia as Columbus thought. He studied what Polo had found from actually REACHING Asia, and realized as he went over to the New World, and it dawned on him. A German mapmaker named America after his first name.
