∙ 10y agoFirst European nation to send explorers around the west coast of africa? He does that to every question he see's^ But the answer is: The Portuguese.
Being a European country, you cant say Portugal was discovered by explorers in the conventional sense. Ofcourse the human species didnt evolve around it, but the explorers is a concept that tracks to the XVIth century, by which time Portugal had been well established. The Romans for instance conquered that territory, but you cant say they discovered it. It did however send explorers to Asia, Africa, Oceania and the American continent.
Vikings established settlements in iceland and greenland around the 800-900s :d....<3
The affects were more places around the world being colonized and the explorers getting goods and resorses from those places
British explorers include Henry Hudson (he tried to find the Northwest Passage); Ernest Shackleton (he explored Antarctica); Sir Francis Drake (first Englishman to sail around the world); and Sir Walter Raleigh (he explored the New World and established a colony in what became Virginia).
Colonies
European explorers arrived in the central plains where the Sioux people live in the early 18th century, around the 1700s. They were primarily French and Spanish explorers who interacted with the Sioux tribes as they expanded their territories and established trade relations.
Explorers settled in various locations around the world, including the Americas, Africa, Asia, and Australia. They established colonies, trading posts, and missionary outposts in these new lands as they sought to expand their empires and exploit new resources. Some famous settlements include the Spanish settlements in the Americas, the Dutch trading posts in Asia, and the British colonies in Australia.

The first European language spoken in what is now the United States was likely Old Norse, spoken by Norse explorers around the year 1000 in areas such as Newfoundland. However, the first lasting European settlement, where a European language was established, was Spanish in St. Augustine, Florida, in 1565.
The Portuguese were known for their maritime exploration and established trade routes around Africa, Asia, and the Americas. They were the first European power to reach India by sea, and also colonized territories in Brazil, Africa, and Asia. Additionally, they played a significant role in the Age of Discovery and helped expand European influence around the world.
