Christopher Columbus embarked on his first journey to the New World in 1492 with the primary goal of finding a westward route to Asia. Funded by Spain, he sought to access the lucrative spice trade and spread Christianity. Instead, he landed in the Bahamas, mistakenly believing he had reached the outskirts of Asia. His voyage marked the beginning of European exploration and colonization of the Americas.
