Portuguese explorer Bartolomeu Dias discovered the Cape of Good Hope in 1488. He was the first European to sail around the southern tip of Africa, marking the point where the Atlantic and Indian Oceans meet.
The first European explorer widely credited with reaching America is Christopher Columbus, who arrived in the Bahamas in 1492. However, Norse explorer Leif Erikson is believed to have reached parts of North America, specifically present-day Newfoundland, Canada, around the year 1000 AD, well before Columbus. While Columbus's voyages are often highlighted due to their significant impact on European exploration and colonization, Erikson's earlier journey marks the first known European contact with North America.
Pedro Alvarez Cabral was a Portuguese explorer who discovered Brazil. Vasco de Gama and Bartolomeu Dias traveled around the Cape of Good Hope and the rest of the Portuguese explorers traveled to Africa.
Bartolomeu Dias did not claim any of the land he explored during his expeditions. His main goal as a Portuguese explorer was to find a trade route to India by sailing around the southern tip of Africa, which he achieved in 1488. His discoveries were significant in paving the way for future European exploration and colonization of Africa.
