Explanation:

Christopher Columbus is credited with landing on a continent he identified as Asia: this would later be known as the American continents, and the inhabitants are termed as Native Americans or Red Indians because Colombus felt they were Indians in the east or Asia

While Ferdinand Magellan is credited with finding a strait through South America and circumnavigating the globe. This is evident in the fact that Magellan led groups of people, hoping to go to Asia through the West. He thought it could be a short journey to Asia for as lesser as three or four days.
