Christopher Columbus made his voyages to the New World because he was searching for a new trade route to Asia. He believed that by sailing westward across the Atlantic, he could reach Asia and establish trade connections. However, he mistakenly landed in the Caribbean islands, which eventually led to the European colonization of the Americas.
