Ferdinand Magellan was the first to circumnavigate the world. Christopher Columbus discovered the West Indies. Who is more important is entirely your opinion. However, people recognize Christopher Columbus more the Magellan typically.
Yes. Historians are almost certain that Columbus brought wine on his voyages. More specifically, it was probably sherry, a fortified wine.
So he could contribute to his country, Spain... Plus he was still after what he was looking for which was the Indies (on his first expedition he found the Bahamas)
Christopher Columbus (1451-1506) made four voyages to the New World. 1) 1492-1493 : Bahamas, Hispaniola, and Cuba 2) 1493-1494 : Hispaniola, Cuba, and Jamaica 3) 1498 : Trinidad and Venezuela 4) 1502-1504 : Honduras, Nicaragua, Panama, marooned on Jamaica for a year (tropical storms and then ship worms destroyed his ships)
yes. spain wanted more land so they financed Christopher Columbus' voyage so they could get it.
Christopher Columbus made his first voyage in 1492, which subsequently led to the discovery of America by Europe. He then embarked on two more voyages in 1493 and 1498.
Christopher Columbus stated his ambition was to find a westward route to Asia to access its lucrative trade markets, particularly for spices and gold. He believed that by sailing west, he could reach the East Indies more directly, thereby enhancing Spain's wealth and his own status. Columbus also sought to spread Christianity and expand Spanish influence over new territories. Ultimately, his voyages led to the unexpected discovery of the Americas.

Columbus traveled west in search of a new maritime route to Asia, aiming to access valuable spices and trade goods. He believed that by sailing directly west from Europe, he could reach the East Indies more quickly than the established routes around Africa. His voyages, sponsored by Spain, ultimately led to the discovery of the Americas in 1492, although he never reached Asia as intended.
