In what way was Columbus greedy?

Columbus exhibited greed primarily through his relentless pursuit of wealth and resources, notably gold, during his voyages to the New World. His desire for personal enrichment led him to exploit indigenous populations, enslaving them and forcing them to mine for gold. Additionally, he sought to claim vast territories for Spain, driven by the potential for riches rather than a genuine interest in exploration or the welfare of the native peoples. This insatiable quest for wealth marked his legacy with the consequences of colonization and exploitation.
