Which of these were reasons for Columbus first voyage from Spain? Select two that apply

1 answer

Certainly! While I don't have the specific options you are referring to, I can provide common reasons for Columbus's first voyage from Spain in 1492. Major motivations included:

  1. Search for a New Trade Route: Columbus aimed to find a westward route to Asia to access lucrative spices and trade goods more directly.

  2. Expansion of Spain’s Influence: Spain sought to expand its territory and influence, and Columbus's voyage was seen as a way to claim new lands for the Spanish crown.

If you provide the specific options, I can help you select the correct ones!
