Christopher Columbus was seeking a shortcut to China to establish a direct trade route for valuable goods like silk and spices, which were highly sought after in Europe. The overland routes were long and perilous, and Columbus believed that by sailing west across the Atlantic Ocean, he could find a faster way to reach Asia. His expedition was also motivated by the desire for wealth and to spread Christianity. Ultimately, he aimed to enhance Spain's status and power through successful trade and exploration.
