I guess that’s also the end of the Columbus Days Parade. When
is this insanity going to end?
Next we’ll have to change the name of
America.
Amerigo Vespucci is largely responsible for Brazil’s colonization and the
first maps of the new world, which was named after him.
Amerigo Vespucci ( March 9, 1454 – February 22, 1512)
was an Italian explorer, financier, navigator and cartographer who first
demonstrated that Brazil and the West Indies did not
represent Asia's eastern outskirts as initially conjectured from Columbus' voyages, but instead constituted an entirely separate landmass
hitherto unknown to people of the Old World.
