Did the Italian explorer Christopher
Columbus really discover America? It's
believed that travelers from China got there
first. They crossed the Pacific to Mexico in
the fifth century. In fact, Columbus landed in
the Bahamas in 1492 and never got to North
America. America was not even named after
Christopher Columbus. It was named after
Amerigo Vespucci, who landed in America in
the late fifteenth century。
