Detailed explanation-1: -Columbus made his transatlantic voyages under the sponsorship of Ferdinand II and Isabella I, the Catholic Monarchs of Aragon, Castile, and Leon in Spain.
Detailed explanation-2: -King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella of Spain agreed to fund his voyage because they believed that if a whole new sea route was to be discovered that landed in the Indies it would help Spain have the upper hand in the competition against Portugal.
