Why did Columbus believe his new route to the East Indies would be successful for trade?

Answer:
Columbus believed that Earth was smaller than it is. This meant that he thought the East Indies were not far from the Canary Islands. A shorter route would mean many more lucrative trade trips because of the reduced travel time.
