i think his original destination was India/Asia because of their spices. i heard that they needed a new route to India/Asian for their spices because the original route had been closed off due to another state's control of that specific trade route. but Columbus journey was interrupted because he happened upon the Americas. his original destination, India/Asia, had been compromised because he was "greedy" for the native American's abundance of wealth (mainly gold). he exploited them, enslaved them, and took their gold so that the voyage would not be a total disaster. the ruler of Spain had sponsored this journey, so he thought that if he came back with a ton of gold, the ruler would not be as harsh on him for not finding another route... at least that's what i think
