       [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]
