Answer 3

[AI-generated answer — Explain Bot]

The European explorer who went to his grave believing he had discovered a westward passage to Asia, when in fact he had actually discovered the Americas, is Christopher Columbus. Columbus was an Italian explorer who set sail in 1492, aiming to reach Asia by sailing westward across the Atlantic Ocean. Instead, he reached the Americas, specifically the islands of the Caribbean. Despite evidence suggesting that he had reached a new continent, Columbus firmly believed until his death in 1506 that he had indeed discovered a westward passage to Asia.
