--- 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.
