Bartolomeu Dias is famous for being the first European to successfully sail around the southern tip of Africa in 1488. His voyage demonstrated the possibility of a sea route to Asia by bypassing the land routes dominated by Middle Eastern and Ottoman traders. He named the southern point of Africa "Cape of Storms," which was later renamed the "Cape of Good Hope." This landmark achievement opened the way for future exploration and trade between Europe and Asia.
