What year was america found?

Answer 1

Europeans founded America in 1492, but they were really late in the game. Vikings came earlier, and surely the Eastern Asians before that, but we have no documentation of a date.

Answer 2

America was never lost. LOL

Hmmm ... Vikings "found" the americas in 985. Bjarni Herjolfsson, a Norse settler in Greenland, was blown off course and sighted a continent west of Greenland, but he did not go ashore. About 15 years later Leif Eriksson (son of Erik the Red) explored the new continent. For the next ten years a number of voyages were made from Greenland to the new land, which the Norsemen called "Vinland" because of the profusion of grapes that grew there.

Answer 3

America has had a special place in history. It was the home of our original parents in Eden. They and their descendents lived here until before the Flood. After, the next group of people came just after the Tower of Babel was built, some time around 2500 B.C. They lived here for about 2000 years until they were destroyed by a war of annihilation.
The next people arrived just after 600 B.C. and a remnant of that group survives to this day as the 'Native Americans.'
There is also evidence of some limited--and guarded-- contact with people for centuries before Christ from the 'Old World.' There was a recent discovery of two wrecked ships in Brazil and Honduras with ancient 'Mediterranean' cargo. The Celts, Basques, Phoenicians, and certainly others may have had contact with the ancient Americans long before the Vikings set sail.

Answer 4

Evidence indicates man first arrived in North America 10000 years ago. Example are the Kennewick man and Clovis man. Other are out there. It's really impossible to say that these are the first humans in North America because much of the continent was scrubbed clean by the Ice Ages.

Answer 5

Amerigo Vespucci is who America is named after and he was here in 1501because he distinguished between North and South (America). Columbus of course is considered the discoverer of the new world in 1492, and this was South America. And the answer you have about the Vikings is true. So depending on exactly what you mean by who discovered America...are you speaking of the North America, South America of both.

Answer 6

America declared independence from England on July 4,1776. We were not officially recognized as an independent nation until 1783 in the Treaty of Paris.

Answer 7

From Europa it was a man named Bjarne, who was born in Scania, the most southern part of Sweden who told the Norsemen about the new land very far westwards.

Answer 8

by columbus? i think 1492
