Video didn't mention that Columbus didn't set foot on the American Continent(s) until 1498 on his third voyage, when we landed in norther Venezuela. Amerigo Vespucci actually stepped on the American Continent (modern Brazil) in 1497. And that's the entire reason the map is so famous, was because it not only named America, but also helped justify Waldseemuller's naming of the "terra nova" in honor of Vespucci.
America= continent
US= country
America is not US

It's not named after Amerigo. It's named after Richard Ameryk.

America was found by an Italian explorer named Amerigo Vespucci in the 1500. So you could say America is part of Italy.
