3 ene 1499 año - 1499 - Amerigo Vespucci

Descripción:

Until the end of his life, Columbus thought he had discovered the outlying parts of Asia, and not a new continent. By one of history’s greatest ironies, the New World was named after Amerigo Vespucci, who landed in South America in 1499 and stated that the land was so vast, is must be a new continent.
