Answer 1

The two reasons for Columbus's first voyage from Spain are:

1. He sought to bring back Native Americans for slavery.
2. He went in search of an easier route to Asia.

While the desire to discover new cultures and the control of the spice trade were motivations for various European explorations, Columbus's specific aim was primarily to find a westward route to Asia, hoping to establish trade and profit.
