Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is an exploration of the naval history of Portugal, focusing on the heroic feats and innovations that led to the nation's maritime dominance from the early 15th century to the mid-17th century. The book traces the evolution of Portuguese naval power through its major voyages of discovery and conquest, from the exploration of the African coast and the discovery of the sea route to India, to the establishment of the Portuguese empire in Asia and Brazil. The author examines the strategies and technologies that gave the Portuguese a decisive edge over their rivals, and the ways in which their maritime achievements shaped the course of global history.
