What did Vaco De Gama accomplished?

Answer 1

Vasco De Gama;

"Vasco da Gama helped Portugal become rich and famous. As he was making Portugal one of the most important trading and naval powers in the Indian ocean, he notched up some major achievements for himself. In 1492, he commanded the defense of Portuguese colonies against the French in Guinea. Then he set sail for India with four ships: the Sao Gabriel, the Sao Rafael, the Berrio and one cargo ship that did not have a name. During this voyage, his ships were fitted with enough food and wine for three years! Da Gama sailed around the Coast of Africa. That was the same route Bartolomeu Dias had taken in earlier years. Vasco da Gama was finishing what Dias had started. Da Gama's first voyage to India took more then two years to complete.

When he got to India, his final destination, he bought spices and silk cloth. He left again for Portugal in 1499. When he got back to Portugal, those things were proof that there were great treasures in India. On da Gama's second voyage, he stopped at some of the African Kingdoms. When he stopped in Mombasa (now Kenya) he made a peace treaty between Africa and Portugal. That peace treaty was the first ever treaty of peace and friendship between an African country and a European country. While he was there he put up a monument. "
