John Cabot was the first European to reach the mainland of what is now the United States.
European influence spread to the Western Hemisphere
This is a disputed answer. Some say the first European explorers to reach America were the Vikings, with Leif Erickson being the first of them. However, the settlement he founded in about the year 1000 AD in what the vikings called Vinland, and was probably on the coast of modern Newfoundland, Canada, lasted only a short time and the Vikings did not follow-up with further exploration and settlement. Erikson's exploration and settlement had little effect on Europe and none that we know of on America. The European exploration and settlement of America that had a lasting effect on both Europe and America was that which followed the exploratory journey of Christopher Columbus (called ChristoffaCorombo in his native Genoa and Cristóbal Colón in Spain) in the year 1492, some 500 years after Leif Erikson.
