Portugal and the rest of the world had been benefited by both Bartolomeu Dias and Vasco da Gama explorations, because, with Bartolomeu we get to know better the west coast of Africa and with Vasco da Gama we get to know that we could travel by sea from Europe to Asia (that happened in 1498).

Vasco de Gama's wife was Catarina de Ataíde.

Vasco da Gama has six children the names are not enough research has been conducted to know the names.

You could say that Vasco da Gama was smart; after all he navigated through uncharted and dangerous waters to get to India.

He was probably also very daring and courageous. After all, sailing for months in an unknown part of the world where there were legends of sea monsters and other terrible maritime disasters wasn't for the faint of heart.

Lastly, he was a good leader. If not, how could he have kept the crew from mutiny even though they lost sight of land for about 90 days?

According to the Saga of the Greenlanders, the voyage of Leif Ericson [c. 970 - c. 1020] to North America took place in 1002 or 1003. He had traveled already from Iceland, to Greenland, where his father Erik Thorvaldsson ka Erik the Red [950-c. 1003] had founded the first permanent Norse colonies, at the Eastern and Western Settlements. Ericson may have visited Baffin Island, Labrador, and Newfoundland. In the 1950s-1960s, the husband-and-wife team of explorer Helge Marcus Ingstad [December 30, 1899-March 2, 2001] and archaeologist Anne Stine Ingstad [February 11, 1918-November 6, 1997] researched an archaeological site at L'Anse aux Meadows, Newfoundland. They've identified its settlers as Norse, possibly from Ericson's visit. The first known of the three voyages to India by Dom Vasco da Gama [1460? 1469? - December 24, 1524] took place 492-493 years after Ericson's voyage to North America. The Portuguese explorer left from Lisbon, and returned to Portugal, July 8, 1497-September 1499.

Commerce was the main reason that all the major European nations were seeking a water route to Asia. The spices and other trade items found in places like Japan(Cipango), China (Cathay), the Spice Islands (Indonesia), and India, could be purchased and resold back in Europe but the overland routes were so dangerous, too long, and expensive, that the profits made were not worth the risky investments. If Portugal could find a water route to Asia they could challange the Italian monopoy on Asian trade, they had an established government willing to train sailors and invest in the attempt to discover water routes, and a commercial class willing to invest in such ventures. Plus, the profits reaped would make Portugal the leading maritime power in Europe.

Dias and Da Gama sailed from Lisbon. Both were on there way to India.

Switzerland.

The name of his mother is Dona Isabel Sodre.

Vasco da (, 1st Count of Vidigueira, was a Portuguese explorer, one of the most successful in the Age of Discovery and the commander of the first ships to sail directly from Europe to India. The route meant that the Portuguese wouldn't need to cross the highly disputed Mediterranean nor the dangerous Arabia, and that the whole voyage would be made by sea.

Vasco da gama DID reach his goal because when he came back people loved him.

His Second visit is recorded on 1501.

He visited Third time to kerala and he was died. He was buried in Kochi.

Even to day you may see his body.

Vasco da Gama was trying to find a fairly direct trade route from Portugal to India. He was tasked with connecting the already discovered route to southern Africa with the, then, unknown coast of India.

They were Prince Henry, Vasco DaGama and Pedro Cabral.

You could try looking up Vasco da Gama in any local archives. They should be there!

around southern Africa

The two explorers were Columbus and Newport.

Natives attacked his ship. he had only 3 survivors

The first explorers from Portugal arrived in Calicut, Kerala in India in 1498 led by the explorer Vasco da Gama in search for new trade routes and the famed Indian spices. It was the first time that someone traveled from the Atlantic to the Indian Ocean. The trip was authorized by the Portuguese Crown in search for more resources and to consolidate their hold on the Indian ocean trade network.

Vasco da Gama (not vasco de gamas) first voyage was to India. He first reached Calicut
