No, Christopher Columbus was not sent to the Indies by England; he was sponsored by Spain. In 1492, Columbus embarked on his voyage with the goal of finding a westward route to Asia, specifically to access the lucrative spice trade. His expeditions ultimately led to the European awareness of the Americas, which significantly altered the course of history, but his mission was primarily driven by Spanish interests rather than English competition.
