Columbus's planned destination was Asia.
Asia
trade route to Asia
John Cabot's planned destination was the western coast of North America, specifically seeking a route to Asia. He aimed to find a more direct passage to the riches of the East Indies, believing he could reach them by sailing westward. Instead, Cabot landed in what is likely present-day Newfoundland in 1497, marking one of the first European explorations of mainland North America.
His aim was to find a western route from Portugal to the spice islands of Indonesia
In 1497, the Italian explorer John Cabot, sailing under the English flag, believed he had found Cathay, a term used in Europe to refer to China and its rich trade opportunities. Cabot reached the coast of North America, likely present-day Newfoundland, and thought he had arrived in the eastern regions of Asia. His voyage marked one of the earliest European explorations of the North American continent. However, he did not actually reach Cathay as he had hoped.
Yes! He thought he was going to Asia but when he got there he realized he discovered what is now Newfoundland. :) Glad I could help! Hope you do good on you report!
