Christopher Columbus was sponsored by King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella of Spain. In 1492, they provided him with ships, crew, and financial support to undertake his voyage across the Atlantic in search of a new trade route to Asia. Their backing was motivated by the desire to expand Spanish territory and influence, as well as to find new sources of wealth.
