Christopher Columbus was an Italian man. When Italy would not sponsor his trip across the Atlantic, he went to other countries. Spain agreed to sponsor him so he sailed in name of Spain.
Christopher Columbus was the author of a book called 'la aventura de América'. This book has never been published. Only one known copy in existence(the original hand written copy) and it is hidden in the Vatican library. The exact reason the Vatican has kept this book from reaching the public is unknown.
Usually the leaders of a kingdom/country will sponsor explorations. For example, Christopher Columbus turned to the monarchs of Spain for sponsorship.
Probably in the hope of gaining more overseas territory for Spain. Also for the rumoured riches that Columbus would bring back.
