Christopher Columbus made Spain wealthy primarily through his voyages to the New World, which opened up vast territories rich in gold, silver, and other resources. His expeditions led to the establishment of trade routes and colonies, allowing Spain to exploit these newfound resources. The influx of precious metals, particularly from mines in places like Mexico and Peru, significantly boosted the Spanish economy and enhanced its status as a dominant global power during the Age of Exploration.
