Columbus was an "Italian explorer" who started his expedition in 1492 across the Atlantic Ocean in a hope to find a sea route to the Asian country of India.
He wanted to set up a spice trade with India as India was known for its variety and quality of spices at that time.
He explored tofind a sea route from "Europe to Asia" but he was unsuccessful.
