Advantages to Europe:
New places to migrate meant that people could leave the overpopulated countries and ease the burden (e.g in France the Population had risen to 20 million before the revolution) on the country.
Europe now had a market to sell to ( that being the West Indies and Americas)

Emigration

Did Columbus accomplish his goal?
The answer is no.
The East Indies lie off the coast of southeast Asia.
Prior to Columbus' first voyage the ship route to the East Indies was from Europe south down the west coast of Africa, around the Cape of Good Hope, up the east coast of Africa and on to the East Indies.
His theory was that sailing directly west was going to be a shorter route than the huge south and north loop around Africa. He tripped over the Americas by accident.
