In 1483, Columbus approached the royal court of Portugal and asked King John II to fund his voyage. King John rejected Columbus, after discussing it with other explorers and mariners who advised him that the idea was unthinkable and unrealistic. Next, Columbus asked the King and Queen of Spain. They did not reject his proposal.
Spain sent Christopher Columbus to his first voyage. :-)
