After Prince Henry established his navigational school in 1415, Portuguese sailors made several significant discoveries. They explored the West African coast, finding gold and establishing trade routes, which led to the discovery of the Azores and Madeira islands. Additionally, they ventured around the Cape of Good Hope, eventually reaching India, which opened up lucrative spice trade routes. These explorations laid the groundwork for Portugal's maritime empire and significantly advanced European knowledge of geography.
Prince Henry the Navigator played a pivotal role in bringing together astronomers, geographers, and mathematicians to share knowledge with Portuguese sailors. His efforts in the early 15th century significantly advanced maritime exploration, as he established a navigation school in Sagres, Portugal. This collaboration facilitated the development of more accurate maps and navigational techniques, enabling Portuguese explorers to venture further along the African coast and into the Atlantic Ocean.

Portuguese sailors were the first europeans to arrive in Africa in the 15th century. They conquered territories and established colonies that are now several African countries: Angola, Mozambique, Guinea-Bissau and the islands of Cabo Verde. These countries only achieved their independence after the portuguese revolution in 1974. Until then they were official portuguese territories with portuguese as official language.
