He was sent from Europe to find a shorter route to Asia. Since he thought the world was round he headed west. Then he reached land thinking it was the indies. So he called them Indians. They were really Native Americans because he did not find the indies. He really found North America which was the New World, it was called the New World because it was unknow to the people.
