Christopher Columbus's route to Asia was different because he tried to reach Asia by sailing west from Spain instead of going east so he landed in North America.Europeans had not known the Americans existed.They soon competed for North American lands.

∙ 11y agoBecause it was a must if the Europeans wanted to keep trading with the East (mostly spice markets) since the Turkish had occupied all the land routes to the East. The caravans were nor safe any more (and they had not been safe before either), so some adventurous sailors decided to find new routes , that is new ways to reach the Indies. The pioneers were the Portuguese who made the fastest and the best ships (the caravels) and founded the first school of navigation (new maps, rudder, used compass, etc).
