Portugal was the first to launch large-scale voyages of exploration. Prince Henry of Portugal, also known as Henry the Navigator, was the son of King John I. He is credited for exploring, but this was not the case. He was a patron of exploration and sent expeditions west to islands in the Atlantic and south to explore the West coast of Africa. Bortolomeu Dias became the first man to sail around the southern tip of Africa, thus accomplishing Prince Henry's goal at a new sea route. Vasco de Gama was sent to explore India, and after that, more expeditions were sent. HOPE THIS HELPED. (:
