Portugal began exploring earlier than France, England, or Spain due to its strategic geographic position along the Atlantic coast, which facilitated maritime activities. The establishment of the Portuguese School of Navigation in the early 15th century, sponsored by Prince Henry the Navigator, fostered advancements in navigation and shipbuilding. Additionally, Portugal's desire to find new trade routes to Asia and Africa, combined with a relatively unified political structure, motivated its early exploration efforts. These factors collectively positioned Portugal as a leader in the Age of Exploration.
