The preeminent European maritime power in the fifteenth century was?
Actually, there were several powerful maritime powers, even in Europe. In the Eastern Mediterranean, the Ottoman Empire had a navy that arose during the 15th century and was probably the greatest power of the area by the end. Genoa had lost most of its maritime ability by the 15th century. Venice were quite powerful at the time, especially early in the 15th century, and was still challenging the Ottoman Turks at the end of it. Portugal was developing as a powerful maritime nation in the Atlantic Ocean. In the Baltic, the most powerful organization of the 15th century was the Hanseatic League.

How did Portugal become powerful?
By believing in themselves---> -.- this person is an idiot Let me improve this to you.. Portugal was formed in 1143 but only in 1197 did the pope say it was In 1200 to 1300 Portugal was almost as strong as Castile (Sain),France and England. Portugal and England are the longest alliance still in force since 1278 (i think) Portugal in 1500 was a Global Empire, The 1º one,then was Spain,France,Netherlands and Great Britan.This as the year the Portugal was the Strongest in Europe,economic and military powerfull,and so was Spain. From 1500 to 1600 Portugal and Spain where Like the U.S and USSR in the cold war,they where Powerfull Colonial Empires that could take any countrys to thier keens When Sabastian I died in alquacer quibir,with no legal hier ,Spain took this chance to Rule portugal for 50 decades because of a royal marrige.In 1660 Portugal regained is indepandance from Spain with the dysnaty of Bragança.With the discovery of Brazilian gold portugal becomed the most rich country of europe,but with the crisis in that time ,because of the war between Spain to regain independance, this only last fot 10 years. In the WWI Portugal entred the war along with his ally England,and fought many wars. In the WWII Portugal under the dictatorship of Salazar remained Neutral but in 1943 accepet that all planes of the U.S to resuplie in azores(that was in the middle of the Atlantic ocean) and than to pass over portugal to east europe. So yes Portugal gave many things to the world.But now we are only watching others to thier part now.we must concentrat in growing again, and we will remain in History as a great small nation who never let anyone take over us. Long Live Portugal :)
