Colonies served Portugal primarily as a means to expand its trade networks and secure valuable resources, such as spices, sugar, and precious metals. They provided strategic locations for maritime navigation and military presence, enabling Portugal to dominate key trade routes. Additionally, colonies facilitated the spread of Christianity and Portuguese culture, aligning with the country's imperial and missionary ambitions during the Age of Exploration. Ultimately, these territories were essential for enhancing Portugal's economic power and global influence.
