Charles Boxer, professor at Yale University, author of a number of historical works, presents the history of the Portuguese Empire, emphasizing that it was the Portuguese who led the first sea expeditions of Europeans. The Spaniards, the Dutch, the British, the French, who followed the pioneers, took advantage of their valuable experience in many ways. This concerned both the art of navigation and the skills of communicating with peoples of other faiths and other skin colors. The author analyzes how successfully the Portuguese moved their main administrative institutions to a new exotic environment and improved them in relation to new conditions. The author also drew attention to the relationship between the possessions of the empire scattered in different parts of the world and Portugal itself, located at the westernmost tip of Europe.
