Spain had to go through the Mediterranean and then through the Middle East and then through India to make it to china, so Spain wanted to find a new and easier way to trade with China. By traveling through such a large number of countries to the east the profits that the traders had decreased because they had to pay taxes to the separate countries which the traders passed through, and there were also bandits and raiders that would kill the traders and take their goods. Because of all this they encouraged Christopher Columbus to try and find a new way to the west...and then Columbus set sail on August 3rd with 3 ships ..... the Nina, the pinta, and the Santa Maria! Yeah! You got some info on Christopher Columbus!

That answer up top I think is wrong.
The answer I think that is best to fit the question is
''He decided to sail west to reach the Indies. Because the cost of shipping by water was lower, Columbus and his backers would make more money when their cargo was sold''.
If this answer was right, You are welcome. If not I am deeply sorry.
Both answers are correct

Columbus did not discover North America, but did go to the islands in the Bahamas. He never knew that North America existed. Nothing much happened in 1492 after he returned to Spain.

i'm not sure they came from native american and start the wairs
Columbus did discover a New World but not America. He found Hispaniola and nothing more. All of his life he thought he had landed in India. The myth comes to us through old history books and the telling of the story over and over. Many things become truth if enough people believe them or not. We have had this happen in our time with the Twin Towers and 9-11. History is easy to change if you keep saying the same lie over and over.
well i know he first sailed to the Canary Islands, owned by Castile, where he reprovisioned and made repairs.
