Why it happened: Columbus mistakenly thought that he had reached Asia when he landed in the Bahamas because he was not aware of the existence of the Americas. He was navigating based on the maps and knowledge available at the time, which were largely inaccurate.
I need more answers for what happend
When Columbus set out on his voyage in 1492, he was seeking a westward route to Asia in order to establish new trade routes and to find a quicker and easier way to reach the lucrative spice markets of India and China. However, due to his miscalculations of the Earth's circumference and the actual distances involved, Columbus ended up landing in the Bahamas, a group of islands in the Caribbean Sea, instead of in Asia. This accidental discovery would eventually lead to the European colonization of the Americas and the establishment of Spanish colonies in the New World.
is that correct
Yes, that is correct. Columbus was indeed seeking a new trade route to India and China when he landed in the Bahamas instead, leading to the discovery of the Americas.
