Best Answer

The portuguese were the first explorers of the Atlantic Ocean and in great length, the Indian ocean, where they made settlements, specifically in Brazil, Cape Verde Islands, Azores and Madeira Islands, Ivory Coast (then called gold cost), São Tomé & Pincipe, Guinea, Angola, Mozambique, Timor, India (few settlements) and China (few settlements). The aim was to convert as many land to Christianity, but they also established commercial routes of silk, spices and unfortunately slaves, to name but a few. Also credited for discovering the maritime route to India.
