In the 15th century, the voyages of Portuguese explorers ushered in the celebrated Age of Discovery, which changed the course of world history. Seeking new sources of valuable goods, Europeans explored sea routes, fought for spheres of influence, and even discovered entire continents. From the discovery of the route around Africa by Bartolomeu Dias and the discovery of America by Christopher Columbus, the turbulent waters of the Atlantic became a veritable melting pot of ideas, cultures, and civilizations. Here, wars were waged and deals were made, new territories were conquered and rivalries against the colonial powers were waged, and sugar, spices, and people were traded.
This book is an impartial yet captivating chronicle of Europe's conquest of three continents: Africa, North America, and South America.
