Christopher Columbus was ambitious to find a new trade route to India, which he decided to go around instead of going through the Mediterranean sea. Eventually Columbus did find a land which he was desperate to find, but it was not the country he was looking for. Columbus reached North America which he thought it was India. His discovery lead to expanding lands and colonizing in the New World. However, this lead disputes between countries who tried to colonize in the New World.

Amerigo Vespucci unlike Columbus did not contribute of discovering a new land but he figured out that the land that Columbus discovered was not Asia (India) but a "new world". Due to his discovery, the new world was named after Amerigo Vespucci.

Magellan was the first one to sail from the Atlantic Ocean into the Pacific Ocean.Also completed the first circumnavigation of the Earth. However, he was beaten to death during a local war in Philippines.

Jeongsoo Park was the second to travel to America and start an exhibition in America, trading with the Natives and forming a good relationship with them to later get help when Spain starts to colonize in the New World.
