Columbus desired a faster, cheaper route to Asia. To get spices and silk from Asia, many countries and middlemen had to be paid, and the price was constantly jacked upwards for profit. The demand for silk and spices came predominantly from crusaders and travelers who had returned with small amounts of these products. He needed to gain fame and FORTUNE!
