Best Answer

Columbus was trying to find a quicker way to Asia by sailing west from Europe instead of around the horn of Africa. He was quite a salesman to convince Queen Isabella of Spain to sponsor his trip. He never landed in North America and had nothing to do with the native americans.

The success of his trip led to other trips by explorers to colonize and hope to bring home riches to their respective countries.
