Henrik Moreplovac, portugalski princ, tijekom prve polovice 15. stoljeća odašilje više istraţivačkih ekspedicija niz zapadnu obalu Afrike. On u Sagresu osniva školu navigacije i kartografije, koja je uvelike pomogla budućim generacijama Portugalaca prilikom istraţivanju Atlanskog, a kasnije i Indijskog
... More oceana. Do kraja petnaestog stoljeća Portugalci oplovljavaju čitavu Afriku te 1498. godine stiţu u Indiju. Početkom 16. stoljeća osnivaju na Indijskom oceanu Estado da India s centrom u Goi, te preuzimaju trgovinu začinima u svoje ruke. Zahvaljujući sposobnim upraviteljima Estada da India, poput Francisca Almeide i Alfonsa Albuquerquea, Portugalci zauzimaju gotovo sve važnije strateške točke na glavnim trgovačkim pravcima Indijskog oceana. Portugalci na istoku sporazumom u Zaragozi 1529. godine dobivaju pravo na Molučke otoke, koji su bili jedna od njihovih glavnih akvizicija, zbog izdašne trgovine začinima. Sredinom 16. stoljeća, na svom vrhuncu, portugalsko kolonijalno carstvo se proteže od Brazila sve do Kine. Početkom druge polovice 16. stoljeća slijedi postepeno opadanje portugalske moći. Kada se Portugal 1580. godine personalnom unijom veže za Španjolsku uvučen je u brojne španjolske sukobe s brojnim europskim državama, što je uveliko naškodilo portugalskoj ekonomiji. Početkom 17. stoljeća Nizozemci i Englezi zaposjedaju brojne portugalske kolonije na Indijskom oceanu te preuzimaju primat u trgovini začinima. Less Abstract (english) Thanks to the scientific and technical knowledge that emerged at the end of the Middle Ages and to the political situation of the country and geographic position, Portugal becomes the main initiator of great geographic discoveries. During the first half of the 15th century, Henry the Navigator, Portuguese prince, sends out for more exploratory expeditions along the African western coast. He also establishes the school of navigation and cartography, in Sagres, which significantly helped
... More the future Portuguese generations in exploring the Atlantic, and later the Indian Ocean. By the end of the 15th century the Portuguese sail by all of Africa and in 1498 they arrive in India. In the beginning of the 16th century, in the Indian Ocean, they founded Estado de India with its center in Goa, and took over the spice market. Thanks to the capable leaders of Estada da India, like Francisco Almeida and Alfonso Albuquerque, the Portuguese occupy almost all of the most important strategic points on the main commercial routes of the Indian Ocean. Due to a treaty in Zaragoza in 1529, the Portuguese in the East obtain the rights over the Maluku Islands, making it one of their main acquisitions because of the abundance of spice trade. In the middle of the 16th century, during its peak, the Portuguese colonial empire, stretches from Brazil all the way to China. In the beginning of the second half of the 16th century Portugal’s power slowly starts to diminish. In the year 1580 when Portugal tied itself to Spain through a union, it resulted in the involvement in several Spanish conflicts with several other European countries, which would greatly harm the Portuguese economy. In the beginning of the 17th century the Dutch and the English occupied numerous Portuguese colonies in the Indian Ocean and gained dominance over the spice trade. Less Keywords
