Did sir Francis drake and Columbus both go to Spain?
No. Drake was English and going to Spain would have been the last place he would have been. Spain and England were at war. Columbus was FROM Spain.
Was Columbus a success or failure and why?
Success for Spain: Columbus' voyage opened up the "New World" to European exploitation, which would generate untold wealth for Spain.
Why did Columbus travel westward at lower lattitudes?
Columbus traveled westward at lower latitudes primarily to find a faster route to Asia by crossing the Atlantic Ocean. He believed that sailing west from Spain would lead him to the East Indies, where valuable spices and gold could be found. Additionally, the lower latitudes offered more favorable sailing conditions and better winds, which he hoped would facilitate his journey. Columbus underestimated the Earth's size and the distance to Asia, leading him to his eventual discovery of the Americas instead.
What winds would you rely on to get from the Caribbean to Spain?
To sail from the Caribbean to Spain, you would primarily rely on the trade winds. These winds blow from the east and can help propel a vessel northward towards the Azores High, where you can catch the prevailing westerlies that will take you east into Spain. Timing your journey for the late spring or early summer can also optimize your chances of favorable winds and avoid stormy weather.
