Portugal!
Amerigo Vespucci did sail for the Portuguese.
Portugal began exploring earlier than France, England, or Spain due to its strategic geographic position along the Atlantic coast, which facilitated maritime activities. The establishment of the Portuguese School of Navigation in the early 15th century, sponsored by Prince Henry the Navigator, fostered advancements in navigation and shipbuilding. Additionally, Portugal's desire to find new trade routes to Asia and Africa, combined with a relatively unified political structure, motivated its early exploration efforts. These factors collectively positioned Portugal as a leader in the Age of Exploration.
Portugal, the Netherlands, and England were also exploring routes to East Asia during the Age of Exploration. Portugal led the way with exploration efforts under Prince Henry the Navigator, while the Netherlands established the Dutch East India Company and England sent explorers like Francis Drake.
Oh, isn't that a lovely question! Portugal is a beautiful country with about 35,603,000 acres of land. Just imagine all the stunning landscapes and colorful scenery that covers those acres. Keep exploring and appreciating the world around you, my friend.
