What countries did Columbus ask for money?

Answer 1

Christopher Columbus initially sought financial support from several European monarchs, most notably King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella of Spain, who ultimately provided the funding for his 1492 voyage. Before approaching Spain, he also sought backing from the Portuguese court and later made appeals to the English and French crowns, but was unsuccessful in securing their support. Ultimately, it was Spain that invested in Columbus's expedition, leading to his discovery of the Americas.
