Bartolomeu Dias, the Portuguese explorer, was the first European to sail around the southern tip of Africa in 1488, which he named the Cape of Good Hope. His expedition provided crucial information about the feasibility of a sea route to India, demonstrating that it was possible to navigate around Africa to reach the Indian ocean. Dias's journey also helped to establish Portuguese maritime dominance and opened up further exploration and trade opportunities in the East. Additionally, he gathered knowledge about the local African tribes and coastal geography.
