Answer:

No.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is not fair to say that Christopher Columbus discovered America, because there were people living there first (Native Americans). Not including people that lived there a long time ago, the issue was up for debate until 1960, when a ancient Norse settlement was discovered near Newfoundland.
