Prince Henry the Navigator, a key figure in the early days of the Portuguese Empire, sent expeditions to the Azores and Madeira primarily to explore and colonize these islands. His goal was to expand Portugal's maritime influence, establish trade routes, and promote the spread of Christianity. Additionally, the islands served as strategic waypoints for further exploration along the West African coast and into the Atlantic. These efforts laid the groundwork for Portugal's later achievements in global exploration.
