Henry the navigator the King of Portugal? no no no... Prince Henry the navigator. Not even the heir to the throne... not even second heir... he was the third prince.

Thank you!!! Was just getting ready to post that Henry was a prince, not a king.

Abulhasan Al Masudi This amazing historian and geographer was born in Baghdad (in 895 CE) and travelled to East Africa, the Middle East, Persia, Russia, China and the Indian Subcontinent. He died in Cairo in 957 CE. His famous work of world history “Meadows of Gold” has been translated into English. He produced many more books and even encyclopaedias about world history and combined cultural and social matters with politics. Al Masudi would on his travels speak to locals and use their accounts. His interest of the world would include non-Muslim lands like Scandinavia and their peoples

before the arrival of the Portuguese , the Indian ocean region was an Islamic domain for many hundreds of years. but within only a century the Portuguese empire ended it for the Muslims. all the other Europeans who came afterwards had the luxury of not having to deal with any real Muslim super powers in that region, thanks to all the dirty work the Portuguese did the century before

The king of Portugal was João I (John I). Henrique o Navegador was a the third prince, and he was not even the heir. He founded the Escola de Sagres to study all details of ocean navigation. He was one of the sons of the king and of his wife: Filipa de Lancaster, John of Gaunt (duke of Lancaster)'daughter, and great daughter of King Edward III of England

[@lost_porkchop]

Hearing Henry repeatedly called King was getting annoying. The school at Sagres is also supposed to be a myth. It was actually in Lisbon.

[@CleovaldoPinheiro]

@@lost_porkchop Indeed, the School of Sagres was not a phyical construction or a building. It was a group of scholars united by Prince Henry.

1. Castille was a rich kingdom as well as Aragon Genoa Republic or Venice's . England was a poor kingdom at that time as northern Europe. 2. Sugar cane was brought to Iberian Península by the moors when they conquered it and later taken by portuguese and spaniards to the Canary Islands. 3. Kwolege of navigation was in Salamanca University and the Kingdom of Aragon united to Castille by a royal marriage, not only italians had it 4. Interviewing german ir english historians instead of portuguese or spanish. Why?.

[@bconni2]

the Spanish empire got kick started mostly out of pure chance and good luck. they were very fortunate to have many things go their way in a short period of time. were as the Portuguese on the other hand, had a clear objective from the very beginning that they achieved through hard work, determination and many lost lives. it was the Portuguese, not the Spanish, who innovated almost every major technological advancement in maritime exploration almost a century before Columbus first set sail.

[@Mortyr45]

1st the Portuguese bring the commerce in Africa, the Portuguese where traders, and we brought slaves, sadly, after that Portugal started the slavery, but it wasn’t only Portugal, all the countries in Europe have done that, even before the Portuguese empire the enemy’s capture where slaves, in Europe and out of Europe, in Africa, Americans Ásia. So Portugal didn’t stared slavery.

[@bconni2]

it was the Portuguese who innovated almost every major technological advancement in maritime exploration and naval warfare almost 100 years before Columbus first set sail . dont forget, Portugal waged war against powerful Muslim and Asian kingdoms in the Indian ocean and far East. it was anything but easy, as these people were more technologically advanced than the Native American people the Spanish subjugated in the new world. to sum it up...... Portugal with a smaller population, sailed longer didstances (and with the exception of Brazil,) fought more powerful kindgoms Spain with a larger population, sailed shorter distances and fought weaker people.

This video unfortunately has got some mistakes: - Henry the navigator was not a king (was the sun/brother/uncle of the King); - Cristopher Coulombus was portuguese (he spoke portuguese, castilian, Latin, Greek, hebrew (he had jewish blood) and never spoke italian or catalonian); - sugar is not a product of the new world; the europeans found it in the Meadle East during the cruzades (sweet salt); it was brought into America by the portuguese; they first explore it in the african isle of São Tomé (São Tomé e Príncepe) with slaves brought from the main land. The business was brought to America (Brasil) because the farms were much bigger then far more profitable. The portuguese created the sugar plantation in Brasil and the related slave trade. Others cultures followed like american native tobaco and cocoa. Coffee was grown in plantations too and like sugar was brought from the Meadle East. The best crops of coffee are called "arabic".

[@CW-rx2js]

1. Columbus was Italian- he was born in the Republic of Genoa and spoke a dialect of Ligurian as his first language..most respected historians agree on him being Italian. Explorers probably spoke many languages, especially given they could sail for different monarchs and use their linguistic skills. 2. Sugar does not come from the Middle East. It got there from ancient India. The first chemically refined sugar appeared on the scene in India about 2,500 years ago. From there, the technique spread east towards China, and west towards Persia and the early Islamic worlds, eventually reaching the Mediterranean in the 13th century.
