If i am right can i plz get braniest?

Answer: Columbus wanted to find a new route to India, China, Japan and the Spice Islands. ... Columbus knew that the world was round and realised that by sailing west - instead of east around the coast of Africa, as other explorers at the time were doing - he would still reach his destination.
