What did Columbus say to convince the Spanish rulers for the funds for his voyage?
He told them that Japan was only 3,000 Italian miles (3,700 km) west of the Canary Islands.
Columbus's ideas in this regard were based on three factors: his low estimate of the size of the Earth, his high estimate of the size of the Eurasian landmass, and his belief that Japan and other inhabited islands lay far to the east of the coast of China. In all three of these issues Columbus was both wrong and at odds with the scholarly consensus of his day.
