Answer:
Sailing west across the Atlantic Ocean.
Explanation:
Christopher Columbus was a very popular Italian voyager, navigator and explorer who completed four voyages (1492–93, 1493–96, 1498–1500, and 1502–04 respectively) across the Atlantic Ocean. Columbus was born to a wool merchant in 1451 in Genoa, Italy and he died 20th of May, 1506 in Valladolid, Spain.
Christopher Columbus wanted to reach Asia by sailing west across the Atlantic Ocean. In his thinking, he thought going through that route was a more direct way to get to Asia by water.
Additionally, the Columbian Exchange was named after the very popular voyager and explorer, Christopher Columbus.
Columbian Exchange is also referred to as the Columbian Interchange and typically involved the widespread movement of commodities, plants, technology, cultures, diseases, people and animals across West Africa, the Atlantic, America and the Old world (Europe, Asia, and Africa) as far back as in the 15th and 16th century.
