The most seminal event of the last millennium might also be its most controversial. As schoolchildren have been taught for over 500 years, “In 1492, Columbus sailed the ocean blue.” In October of that year, the Italian Christopher Columbus immortalized himself by landing in the New World and beginning the process of European settlement in the Americas for Spain, bringing the Age of Exploration to a new hemisphere with him.

Here are the stories of nine people whose energy, imagination, courage, and determination changed the world.

Historians still agree about the date of Columbus' voyage. But did this European adventurer discover America?
