When Christopher Columbus sailed from Europe in 1492, he was primarily searching for a westward route to Asia to access its lucrative spice and silk trade. He believed that by crossing the Atlantic Ocean, he could reach the East Indies more directly. Instead, Columbus unexpectedly discovered the Americas, marking the beginning of European exploration and colonization in the New World.
