in terms of latino, i'd have to agree but hispaniola had to be a significant 'discovery' from spain. i can understand the reasoning here, albeit a bit flawed in the delivery. .hispaniola is the site of one of the first european forts in the americas, la navidad (14921493), as well as the first settlement and proper town, la isabela (14931500), and the first permanent settlement, the current capital of the dominican republic, santo domingo (est. 1498).
