Best Answer

The Columbian Exchange is named such because it all started when Columbus mistakenly landed in the Caribbean in 1492 (also the year the Columbian exchange is noted for starting). It is also referred to as triangular trade (sugar/agriculture from Americas to Europe, manufactured goods from Europe to Africa, and slaves from Africa to the Americas).
