Between Columbus's first interview with the Spanish monarchy in 1486 and its approval in 1492, Columbus faced skepticism and multiple rejections from the Spanish court. He spent several years trying to secure support, during which Spain was preoccupied with the Reconquista, culminating in the capture of Granada in 1492. Ultimately, the unification of Spain under Ferdinand and Isabella and their desire for new trade routes led to Columbus's plan being approved, resulting in his first voyage later that same year.
