Detailed Solution

Christopher Columbus discovered America.
Columbus discovered the new world of America in 1492. He was an Italian explorer and navigator who completed four voyages across the Atlantic ocean. He was the one who opened the door for widespread European exploration and colonisation of America. The Spanish kings funded Christopher Columbus to sail west in 1492, believing the territories he had discovered were "the Indies" (India and countries east of India, which he had read in the Travels of Marco Polo). It was later determined, though, that he had discovered the continent of America, not the Indies.
