Christopher Columbus went to his grave believing that he had sailed across the Atlantic Ocean and arrived in India, perhaps the most famous misperception in all of history. This is the reason why Native Americans are often referred to as Indians, as "Indians" became a catch-all term in many European languages for native populations.

This enmity was expressed through the conflicting ideas of capitalism and communism.
