Best Answer

Christopher Columbus found Hispaniola south of what is now the U.S. which later led to the discovery of the U.S. by Amerigo Vespucci.

"America" is named after "Amerigo", though it is miss leading when people say Columbus found America if you consider America as the continent, North America, or the country The United States of America. It is still disputed over who should get more credit when the U.S.A. recognizes Columbus Day.

Native Americans, and their native foods, including spices that differed from those he had expected to find in "China".

Colombus brought back to Spain the previously unknown tobacco plant, the pineapple fruit, the turkey, and what became indispensable to sailors : the hammock, or rope bed. Instead of the black pepper of the East, he found a similar condiment in the chili pepper, widely used in native cooking.
