Answer 2

B. Amerigo Vespucci was the first European to contend that Columbus had encountered 2 continents previously unknown to Europeans.

Step-by-step explanation:

Christopher Columbus believed until his death that he travelled to Far East, he confounded America with Japan.

Amerigo Vespucci was one of the first Europeans that became aware of the existence of the continent of America.

Spanish Conquistadores were mainly interested in annexing the American territories to the Crown of Castille and gain fame and wealth.

3/4 of the natives were killed by illnesses brought by the Europeans in the two centuries after the arrival of Columbus.
