Christopher Columbus's big idea was to find a new trade route to Asia by sailing westward. He believed that he could reach Asia by crossing the Atlantic Ocean instead of going around Africa. He presented his idea to various European monarchs and eventually secured funding from King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella of Spain. In 1492, Columbus set sail with three ships, the Nina, the Pinta, and the Santa Maria, and ended up discovering the Americas instead.
