Christopher Columbus never knew he explored the Americas. What did he discover in his opinion?

Fifi Sam, discovered it for the Europeans. but the Vikings should get credit for that actually. they were first.

Fifi Sam, If I say that I "discovered" a great little restaurant just a few miles from me, it doesn't mean that I was the first person in the world to find it. Clearly not. I'd say folk like you should stop being offended by you misunderstanding of the use of a word.

Goodboy, lt was explained to me that the word "Discovered " was used becaused No one in the " Old World " knew that People and other Islands were on this side of the Globe.

unfortunately his "discovery" led to the brutal destruction of more than a few enlightened cultures.

not so clever Columbus .

Columbus raped and pillaged. He did not discover.

I guess that's why we call Americans red Indians

It's been proven he wasn't the first but should be credited for starting a trend of brave explorers who were willing to sail the high seas into the unknown to find new lands.
