Portugal’s Empire • In the 15th century , Portugal led the world in sea exploration and
explored the western coast of Africa.
• The Portuguese wanted to find a trade route around Africa to Asia
because:
o They believed they could make a lot of money as traders if they
could get Asian goods for a cheaper price.
o They also wanted to spread Christianity along Africa’s west coast.

Prince Henry the Navigator• He was unable to make much money trading gold, so he tried
creating sugar cane plantations.
o Sugar cane was a very profitable crop, but required lots of labor.
• Prince Henry imported slaves from Africa to work the fields.
o This was successful & was later copied in the New World.
o His actions encouraged a slave trade that lasted another 400
years…

What Were the Results of
Exploration?
• A Clash of Cultures- European countries
founded many new colonies on the coasts
of Africa and S. America. Lives of the
natives (indigenous) people were never
the same.
• Religious Conversions- Missionaries were
sent to convert conquered indigenous
people to Christianity.
