Oklahoma ESSAY What were the reasons that Spain agreed to pay for Columbus’s voyage? The Spanish watched Portugal become wealthy from Asian trade. After the last Muslim kingdom in Spain was driven out in 1492, King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella could focus on their goal of opening a way to Asia. Columbus promised to find a passage and also to bring Christianity to any lands he found. How did the need for new trade routes lead to the discovery of the Americas? The desire to share in the riches of Asia led to European expeditions to find new and better trade routes to Asia. This exploration led to the discovery of lands new to them. For example, Columbus sailed on behalf of Spain in order to find better trade routes, but instead, he discovered America.
