Vasco da Gama is best known for discovering a sea route to India, which opened up direct trade between Europe and Asia. His voyages significantly contributed to the European spice trade, allowing access to valuable resources like spices, silk, and precious stones. While he did not discover new land in the traditional sense, his explorations helped establish Portuguese colonial influence and trade networks in the Indian ocean.
