Adolf Hitler did not invade Portugal during World War 2 because Spain stood in the way. In order to invade Portugal, Hitler would have needed to go through Spain. Spain would not allow that.

This would have meant that the potential for European exploration and colonization of the Americas would have been significantly delayed.

The voyage ultimately changed global trade, politics, and demographics in profound ways.
