Question

Who discovered that north america was a whole new continent and not india like Columbus said?

Answer 1

Christopher Columbus

It is a commonly held belief that Christopher Columbus discovered America. This fact however, can neither be ruled out nor accepted blindly. In October, 1492, Columbus reached the shores of America when he was in search of India. There are few historians who believe that it was not America’s mainland that Columbus reached in 1492. The place was actually an island of Bahamas.
