Best Answer

Columbus didn't want to go to new places, but he wanted to find a water route to Asia. He also wanted to be rich and famous. In his contract with the Spanish king and queen he made sure he was named the "admiral of the seas" and that he would gain fame and gold. He never did realize his goals and only found an island with little gold and Native Americans.
