    No, but if Spain (with an Italian as a captain) hadn’t discovered the Americas, the USA as we know them wouldn’t exist.

        From the link you have provided:

        Vespucci participated in at least two voyages of the Age of Discovery between 1497 and 1504, first on behalf of Spain (1499–1500) and then for Portugal (1501–1502).

        Exactly, what did I say that contradicts this? I said Spain with an Italian as a captain, discovered America.
