Columbus was most likely inspired by the sailors who found a sea route to Asia by going by Africa's Cape of Good Hope. Columbus was convinced that if he sailed across the Atlantic, then he would come to Asia from Europe quicker and find another sea route. However he ended up finding the America's instead.
