Because Columbus' voyage of finding the New World was an failed attempt so instead he found America (which was the New World) and it led to the permanent contact between America and Europe...so that is why the contact is significant between the two.

The first European explorer widely credited with reaching America is Christopher Columbus, who arrived in the Bahamas in 1492.
