This journey was very significant and paved the way for the Portuguese to establish a colonial empire in Asia. After a long voyage from Portugal, he landed in Calicut, India and brought back spices to Portugal. His trip to India was considered a pinnacle of history because many sailors had tried to go to India before him, but many failed, or died at sea.

Wanted Goods
Silver and Gold were the goods that many nations wanted but one of the biggest reasons for exploration was to find a new route for the spice and silk trades. When the Ottoman Empire took control of Constantinople in 1453, it enabled European access to the area, making a big impact on the trade. It also stopped access to North Africa and the Red Sea which were two very important trade routes to the East.
