He did not want Columbus to sail west
because he believed the world was round and thought if it was true then it would be a shorter route then going east
Because he want to follow direction of the wind
He sailed west...
West.
No, he went south and then he went west.
The West Indies.
Columbus made 4 voyages to the new world.
He didn't sail toward Africa. He caught the current that runs between Europe and North America. The only thing was he didn't realize that North America existed and instead of India he found the Bahamas.
Because one of his crewmen told him to believe it or not!
To gain fortune and fame
