Hello!
Christopher discovered what is now known as "America" in the year of 1492 on October 12. This can be easily remembered by this short quote ( not written by me.) \
"In fourteen hundred ninety-two
Columbus sailed the ocean blue.
He had three ships and left from Spain;
He sailed through sunshine, wind and rain."
I hope this helped!
I am, yours most sincerely,
