hmmm...without cheating (i.e. googling) I don't think Columbus was aiming for any of these countries. He was trying to reach the Mongol empire to open a new trade route for silk and spices, circumventing the Ottoman (??) empire in the middle.
If you are asking where he sailed FROM, I think it was Spain. He was Italian but only the Spanish court would finance his trip. The Portuguese rejected it because they knew the world was much bigger than he estimated.

LOL Rae, the Indians (native Americans) discovered that those sticks that Columbus's men were carrying hur like the dickens when they made fire. they discovered that the blankets made them sick and die. that the Europeans had a sickness that made them crave Gold and Silver. that the Europeans had NO respect for the Earth, and seemed to feel that the Earth was theirs for the taking rather than something to be loved and tenderly cared for.
