Spain agreed to sponsor Columbus's voyage to the New World primarily due to the desire to expand trade and gain access to new resources. After the Reconquista, Spain was eager to enhance its prestige and wealth through exploration. Columbus promised a direct route to Asia that would bypass existing trade routes controlled by rival powers. The potential for profitable trade in spices and gold ultimately persuaded King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella to support his expedition.
