Totally by accident. Sailed all the time to the West thinking he was going to India at the time they thought the globe was smaller in size but ended up in America.

While sailing around the world, he sailed to India and thought he had reached the shores of India. He was met by swarthy, tall people whom he called Indians. Columbus never knew he had discovered America. And it was named after Amerigo Vespucci. Geography, 7th grade.
