Amerigo Vespucci was the best option out of the explorers that actually had the greatest impact. His first expedition reached the Amazon River in South America. While further exploring the coast, he learned to calculate how far west he had traveled by observing the conjunction of the Moon and Mars. He was also a prolific writer as his stories and letters were published in Europe in many languages and quickly became the best selling.
He became the first explorer to recognize and identify the New World as a separate continent and not part of East Asia as what Christopher COlumbus had thought. Vespucci became even more famous than Columbus as the preeminent explorer of the New World. Therefore having a greater impact on the world than any other
