India
Christopher Columbus was trying to discover a new way to China, but instead of sailing to China he accidentially discovered South America. BUT... he was a failure because the Vikings discovered South America not Columbus, he lied to the King and Queen of Spain saying that he discovered a new route to China so he was arrested and killed. I hope i help you a little... Thanks!

He was trying to get to India faster by the northwest passage so Spain & other countries could trade with India and countries around India.
He was trying to find a different route to India, and he ''found'' what is modern day America .

The Pinta, the Nina, and the Santa Maria are the ships Columbus used in his trip to find Cathay/China, Japan, and India.
On his first voyage in 1492, Columbus was trying to find a passage to India. Instead, he encountered the Caribbean Islands.
America of course! He thought it was India, since he was trying to find a trade route to India which would be quickest! :P
