Columbus believed that he had reached the outskirts of Asia, specifically the East Indies, when he arrived in the Bahamas in 1492. He thought he had found a new route to India and was optimistic about the riches and resources he would encounter. This misidentification fueled his exploration and subsequent voyages, as he aimed to establish trade routes and spread Christianity in what he believed was a newly discovered part of Asia. Columbus's misconceptions about geography contributed to the long-lasting impact of his expeditions on the Americas.
