<span>Because at the time Europeans didn't know North America was there. No one before had traveled to Asia by sailing west from Europe, so they didn't know how long it would take. Previously the only way to get to Asia from Europe was by traveling east or southeast. But Columbus thought he might be able to sail west from Europe to reach Asia. That's what he set out to do but he bumped into North America instead.</span>

Why do historians call the cities of sumer "city-states"?
NISA [10]

Sumer is the earliest known civilization in the southern-Eastern Mesopotamia region.

During the bronze age, the area was known for the developed of anciest villages, cities and 'city-states'

These cities were called 'city-states' because they were similar to independent countries rather than a collective power.

Each city had their own kings, their own army, economy and laws. They traded with one another and often fought wars but were not a single political entitiy.

That is why they are called city-states.
