Question

Who made the greatest discovery, Christopher Columbus, Bartholomeu

Dias, Vasco da Gama, or Ferdinand Magellan? Defend your decision.

Answer 1

Christopher Columbus' unsuccessful search for a western maritime route to India resulted in the "discovery" of the Americas in 1492, but it was Vasco da Gama who ultimately established the Carreira da India, or India Route, when he sailed around Africa and into the Indian Ocean, landing at Calicut (modern Kozhikode)
