Columbus traveled west in search of a new maritime route to Asia, aiming to access valuable spices and trade goods. He believed that by sailing directly west from Europe, he could reach the East Indies more quickly than the established routes around Africa. His voyages, sponsored by Spain, ultimately led to the discovery of the Americas in 1492, although he never reached Asia as intended.
