Why was Caribbean Islands called the West Indies?

The Caribbean Islands were called the West Indies because when Christopher Columbus arrived in the region in 1492, he mistakenly believed he had found a route to the Indies, which referred to the lands of India and Southeast Asia. He named the islands "Indies" in reference to this belief. The term "West Indies" was used to distinguish these islands from the "East Indies," which referred to the Asian territories. Over time, the name became widely accepted for the Caribbean region.

Did slavery have a greater impact on the West Indies or on West Africa?

Study shows that there was an impact on both the West Indies and on West Africa. The impact on West Africa for the most part was just negative, while the West Indies received alot of positive impacts due to the factor : Slavery. West Africa suffered a population decrease, while due to slavery the West Indies' population was increasing. Since the Europeans were trading with the Africans, the Africans were getting guns and other weapons which caused them to lower their values because they were killing up their own people in tribal wars, while the Europeans were trading the African for slaves that they used as laborers on their plantations to make themselves wealthier. In conclusion, I have found out that slavery has had an impact on both West Africa and the West Indies. However, the impact in the Americas or West Indies was positive, while the impact was negative for the Africans of West Africa.
