    Columbus, originally from Genoa but living in Spain after his wife's death, sought to reach Asia by sailing west but instead reached the Americas in 1492. With backing from the Catholic monarchs Ferdinand and Isabella, Columbus led four expeditions to the Caribbean between 1492 and 1504, believing he had found Asia. The Spanish conquest of Latin America began as Columbus brought gold and other valuables back to prove the lands' wealth and obtain further support for exploration.

    SPANISH CONQUEST
    Spanish Conquest over Latin America
    In the 15th century Christopher Columbus, who was not from
    Spain but moved to Spain after his wifes death. He initially
    wanted to reach India or Asia but he reached Latin America and
    stopped his journey . In Spain he found politically favourable
    circumstances and good fortune led the Catholic monarchs,
    Isabella of Castile and Ferdinand of Aragon, to approve the
    venture. He started his journey by just three ships sailing across
    sea and his journey took almost 36 days.
    After the long time of Journey , they reached Latin America . One
    of the major consequences of conquest was , it enabled Columbus
    to obtain further royal patronage and thus lead three more
    expeditions to the Caribbean (although Columbus continued to
    believe that he had reached Asia).
    He has travelled a lot between Spain and Latin America in order
    to give enough money , gold and other precious stuffs to king
    Ferdinand as per his sayings.
