Christopher Columbus accidentally sailed into the Caribbean sea and landed on 'Hispaniola' in 1492. Though he is credited with discovering the Americas, he was not the first European to make it to this side of the ocean. He thought he had found a route to asia or the lands of India, thus the term Indians. He was cruel to the inhabitants of the lands he came across. How can a person be credited with 'discovering a New land if it is inhabited by several million people'? I would say that someone else must have discovered it before him.
