Spain needed new trade routes to Asia so they can trade , so they sent Columbus to find a shorter route to India,but he made a mistake and sailed west on purpose. Four months later, he llanded in America thinking it was India.
Boyah, touchdown...
PS Do you own homework at the library
no!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
In the 15th Century, most imports from Asia to Europe came through the Middle East and were controlled by Italian city-states. To break this monopoly, other European nations sought a western route to Asia. Columbus claimed that he could reach Asia from Western Europe in about 35 days.
NO NO NO it's what ever he said.
First they needed faster trade routes to Asia and Europe.
Yes Columbus sailed west he did not know there was a land mass there. So he hit it and it was the Bahamas but other explorers tried to and found diferent places. So some of his stuff is ok.
PS: In other terms thay wanted to cut out the middle man and make a more direct flow.

Zach, I fixed your spelling errors. BTW,Columbus had trouble finding funding for this trip but not because it was thought that the world was flat - everyone knew better than that. It was because ships of that time could store food and water for no more than 35 days and most geographers thought [correctly] that Asia was more than 35 days away.
