Amerigo Vespucci was an Italian explorer who represented Spain during his voyages to the Americas. He is known for being one of the first to suggest that the lands he encountered were part of a new continent, which was later named America in his honor.
Amerigo Vespucci did not necessarily "prove Columbus wrong." The discrepancy between Columbus' belief that he had reached Asia and Vespucci's realization that he had discovered a new continent led to the use of the name "America" in his honor. This occurred during the early 1500s.
Vespucci's main events are he was named America's and he went with Columbus.
Actually, Balboa found the Pacific Ocean.
Because he dicovered that Columbus was wrong. Columbus thought he found India when it was the Americas. Vespucci proved that it was a new found land
Amerigo Vespucci did not set out to prove Columbus wrong. Instead, Vespucci's voyages to the New World led to the realization that the lands discovered were not part of Asia, as Columbus believed, but a new continent. This realization ultimately contributed to the recognition of the continent as a separate landmass named after Vespucci, America.
