He didn't discover a northwest passage nor did he get near North America.
He didn't. In fact he was off of Flordia.
Yes he did want to find it.
Columbus undertook the expedition under his own direction, but was financed by King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella of Spain.
Christopher Columbus sailed (I think that's what you mean) to try to find a passage from Europe to Asia (China and India) to allow trade to become more easier, which was called the northwest passage. However, he came to North America instead, although he still thought that he had reached Asia.
he was looking for a shorter route to Asia so people can get spices faster and most sailors at that time was looking for th Northwest Passage so he might've been looking for it on the sidenote
He was looking for a way to China.
I believe it was France and Italy.
the king and queen of Spain I think were counting on Columbus to discover the northwest passage.

Christopher Columbus was searching for a Northwest Passage, or a direct water route to the Indies from Spain.
No. Everybody else tried, Columbus didn't. Nobody succeeded, anyway.
Christopher Columbus sailed from Spain and landed in the Americas and thought it was Asia.
