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.
