The Vikings were the first Europeans to land in the New World, centuries before Columbus. However, the recognized discovery of the New World is in 1492 by Christopher Columbus, an Italian who sailed in name of Spain.

Christopher Columbus claimed land for Spain, although the Vikings landed in North America well before the Spaniards did.
