Christopher Columbus was trying to set sail to India because he wanted to get spices, gold and silk so that he could sell it to the Europeans. The spices were used for the meat to make it taste lovely because in those days they covered their meat with salt to keep it fresh.

He was trying to see if there was a faster way to get to India
