Answer 2

Upon reaching land, what did Christopher Columbus mistakenly believe he had discovered?**
- **Asia

Answer 3

Yes, that's correct! Upon reaching land in 1492, Christopher Columbus mistakenly believed he had discovered a western route to Asia, specifically the East Indies (which includes parts of Asia). He thought he had reached islands off the coast of Asia when, in fact, he had landed in the Bahamas in the Americas.

Answer 4

are you sureeeee

Answer 5

Yes, I am sure. Christopher Columbus did believe he had found a route to Asia upon his arrival in the New World. He referred to the lands he encountered as part of the "Indies," specifically believing he had reached the islands off the coast of Asia (the East Indies). His miscalculation was due to his lack of knowledge about the existence of the Americas, which were previously unknown to Europeans at that time.
