What year did Vespucci prove Columbus wrong'?
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.

What do you think of Columbus?
I think Columbus is a Italian explorer who sailed the ocean in 1492 and landed in the Caribbean. I also think that he is a mean man who treated the Arawak's wrong and treated them like salves. So in conclusion, i think that Christepher Columbus is lucky that he got out of jail and got to go another voyage when he treated the Arawak's (the people who live in the Caribbean) very wrong.
Why was Amerigo Vespucci significant?
He realized that the new world (North America) wasn't China.
What was Christopher Columbus's believe about the land he had read in 1492 what are two facts that later proved that his belief was incorrect?
In the event both Columbus was wrong (the earth was bigger then he thought) and common wisdom was wrong (180 degrees between Europe and Asia to the west was not all water, America was in the way). Columbus died believing he had opened up a direct route to Asia.
