∙ 14y agoThe islands are known as the West Indies, from the European assumption that they had reached Asia.
They are also known as the Antilles. The four larger islands of Cuba, Hispaniola, Puerto Rico, and Jamaica are known as the "Greater Antilles", while the smaller islands (especially the eastern arc reaching South America) are the "Lesser Antilles".
