Christopher Columbus primarily sought gold and spices during his voyages, believing these resources would enrich Spain. He encountered various indigenous peoples who possessed gold ornaments and other valuable items, which fueled his pursuit of wealth. Additionally, Columbus's discoveries opened the door to the exploration of new lands rich in Natural Resources, including sugar, tobacco, and later, cotton, which significantly contributed to the Spanish economy. Ultimately, the exploitation of these resources, along with the establishment of trade routes, played a crucial role in Spain's wealth during the Age of Exploration.
