Portugal Colonialism

[quote]Portugal continued to rule the seas for years after Henry
the Navigator�s death, sparking a less-than-friendly rivalry
with its Spanish neighbors and earning the undivided attention
of all of Europe. Businessmen and ambitious explorers from
around the world found themselves in Portugal trying to make a
living on Portuguese ships that benefited from his charting of
the oceans. Because of this exploration and colonization, the
Portuguese Empire eventually stretched from Europe to Japan,
covering South America, Africa, and the Caribbean. Despite the
African continent offering every natural resource in the world,
because Portugal led the way in human trafficking, African
bodies became the key to European expansion in the New World.
And perhaps no one is more responsible for the four-hundredyear
competitive empire-building race than Henry the Navigator, whose
advancement in exploration and charting the world�s sailing
routes made Portugal the first modern European empire.[/quote]
