Henry the Navigator funds Portuguese explorations (1 gen 1415 anni – 1 gen 1460 anni)
Descrizione:
Henry the Navigator, although not a navigator nor explorer himself, was the prince of Portugal who commissioned many explorers to find and explore Africa. He played a major role in the Age of Exploration as he had the money to fund expensive voyages, putting Portugal on the radar and on the way to becoming a major power. With each trip Henry the Navigator funded, more information about the world was gathered, which helped build Portugal's prized maps.
