Didn't he discover South America, and was called Cristobal Colon?

Part of why he's so hard to pin down, that was his Spanish name.

He actually made landfall in the Bahamas in 1492 & made it to the Mainland on his third trip (6 years later). Although credited

for discovering America, his biggest accomplishment was proving once & for all (to Europeans, at least) the world was NOT

flat. He was aiming for India.
