Answer: Asia

The rivalry between Spain and Portugal in the "Age of Discovery" caused Spain, a rising power, to seek a new route to Asia like the one Portugal had found around the southern tip of Africa. This led Spain to be receptive to the claims of Christopher Columbus that he could get to India by sailing west.
