Ferdinand and Isabella were willing to fund Christopher Columbus's voyage primarily to find a new trade route to Asia that would allow Spain to access valuable spices and goods, thereby increasing their wealth and influence. Additionally, they sought to spread Christianity and expand their territories. Columbus's promise of potential riches and the prospect of establishing Spanish dominance in new lands made the venture appealing to the monarchs. Ultimately, they hoped that his success would enhance their prestige and strengthen Spain's position in Europe.
