He thought that he reached India, he had no idea that he found new land. The reason why he started his journey was to find a new way to India by sailing west all the time.

Answer:

The natives of America, also called Native Americans, Native Americans, Native Americans, or in some American Indian countries, in a derogatory manner, are the original inhabitants of America. Under the error of Christopher Columbus, who believed they were in India, the natives were called Indians.

In most European languages, the word Indian is the same for those born in India and for Native American peoples. During the twentieth century, calling Native Americans Indians became something politically incorrect and thus a series of names emerged that were accepted and used until today: Indo-American, indigenous, Native American, Native American.

To what is FDR referring to when he says that the democracies, by fighting aggression, “are keeping war away from our hemisphere
Roman55 [17]

This quote comes from the now famous Four Freedoms speech, delivered by Roosevelt as the State of the Union address on January 6, 1941. The international context was very negative. Hitler and his Axis allies were winning in Europe. Britain was greatly menaced and the Japanese were gearing up for all-out war in the Pacific and in Asia.

Roosevelt, aware that scientific progress had eliminated the physical advantage of the USA being separated from Europe and Asia by such vast expanses of water had been arming and funding the British for years and had also increased military spending and the Navy in order to keep Japan at bay.

He knew that once Hitler had conquered Europe and Japan had conquered the East, all the populations and resources of these vast reasons would be used to directly attack the USA, which would eventually find itself in numeric inferiority so in order to prevent such a dark future he chose to send weapons, supplies and money to the British.
