Columbus intended to find a westward route to Asia, specifically to access the lucrative spice trade and establish direct commercial links. He believed that by sailing across the Atlantic Ocean, he could reach the East Indies more quickly than the traditional routes around Africa. Columbus sought to gain wealth and prestige for himself and the Spanish crown, while also spreading Christianity to new lands. His journey ultimately led to the discovery of the Americas, though he did not achieve his original goal.
