How did the Native Americans get the name Indians? als

History
1 answer:
Flauer [41]3 years ago
8 0

Explanation:

<u><em>The term Indians as applied to Native Americans, or the indigenous peoples of the Americas, is thought to have originated in a misconception on the part of the Europeans who arrived in Central America in 1492. Since Christopher Columbus began his journey to America with the intent of finding an alternate route to Southeast Asia, he is said to have assumed that the people he came into contact with upon reaching land were Indians. Despite the fact that people probably realized this mistake within hours, the name remained in use. Similarly, the islands in Central America came to be called the "West Indies", as opposed to the "East Indies" that Columbus originally had in mind as his destination.</em></u>

Why was the Congo vulnerable to turmoil after independence?
Ugo [173]
For the same reason many others were. There were many people who believed that they should have the right to rule the country which led to a lot of infighting. This was common for countries that gain independence, especially in Africa where tribes still fight for control nowadays even though the age of colonization is over.
