Christopher Columbus wanted to travel across the ocean to find a faster way to reach Asia. He believed that by sailing west, he could discover a new route to reach the lucrative spice trade in Asia. He was looking for a direct route to Asia, not specifically to England. However, during his explorations, Columbus accidentally stumbled upon the Americas, which eventually came to be known as the "New World" or America.
