he found the cape of good hope
From 1487-1488
Bartolomeu Dias feared failure, loss of a country, the dangers of exploring, and defeat.
Bartolomeu Dias stopped exploring when he returned to Portugal in December 1488 after reaching the southern tip of Africa, known as the Cape of Good Hope.
Bartolomeu Dias is a Portuguese explorer that discovered the sea route around Africa. His great discovery allowed Indians and Asians to trade.
Cause he wanted to find a new route from portugal to the east
so he could find a better route to get to southern asia
Batolomeu Dias spent several years exploring. From 1487-1488 he voyaged around the southern tip of Africa. In 1497 he went to the Cape Verde Islands and in 1500 he sailed westward.
Días (or Diaz, I've seen it both ways) sailed for Portugal in the 15th century(1487 to 1500).
Bartolomeu Dias was in his late 20s when he was motivated to explore the seas. He set out on his journey in 1487 when he was around 28 years old.
Bartolomeu Dias was considered a success due to his historic achievement of being the first European to sail around the southern tip of Africa, proving that a sea route to Asia existed. This accomplishment paved the way for future explorers and ultimately led to the European Age of Exploration.
Bartholomeu Dias was financed by Portugal for his exploration voyages. Portugal was a major player in the Age of Exploration and sought to establish trade routes to Asia by sea.
I don't know I am looking for a purpose of why Dias sailed because that is one of the questions on my homework. My homework is an explorer chart and I am supposed to fill in what explorer did what accomplishment, the date they sail, the country they sailed for, and the purpose on why they sailed. It is really hard because I cannot find the purpose of any of them.....
