Christopher Columbus always wanted to reach the East Indies, which included modern-day countries like India and Indonesia. His primary goal was to find a westward route to these regions to access their lucrative spices and riches. However, instead of reaching Asia, he famously landed in the Bahamas in 1492, marking the beginning of European exploration in the Americas.
