When Columbus landed in America, he believed he had reached the Indies primarily due to his goal of finding a westward route to Asia, particularly to access the riches of the spice trade. His miscalculations about the Earth's size and the geography of the New World led him to think he had reached the eastern shores of Asia. Additionally, he was influenced by the prevailing European belief in the existence of a direct route to the lands of the Grand Khan. Thus, his assumption was based on a combination of his objectives and the limited geographical knowledge of the time.
