Columbus originally set sail to find a quicker route to India.

He wanted to find a route that would result in direct trade in India for the Spanish, which would inevitably bring the Spanish more wealth, power, and worldly presence. In extension, it would also result in Columbus becoming more wealthy and more influential as a person.
