One reason Spain sponsored the first voyage of Columbus to the west

Sagot :

To find a faster and easier way to get to Asia .

The Spanish King and Queen sponsored the 1st voyage  because they wanted a quicker route to the West Indies aka Asia. Trading was increasing at that time and if they could find a quicker route to the West Indies then they would not have to rely on the middle man, which was the Middle East (I believe), which would then cut cost of the product that they ( foreign countries who were not the middle man) were wanting. You see the middle man could put whatever price on the goods that Europeans wanted.

Hopefully this helped.
