Answer: In the year 1492, Columbus started his voyage from Spain to find the water route to different parts of Asia.
However, he reached the land of Bahamas in two months later, and in 1493 he reached America.
Thus America was discovered by Columbus after the rulers of Spain agreed to finance his voyages on hearing of his story.
A wrong journey route enabled the discovery of America, and it was great news at that time.
