  6. Henry wanted to find a water route to India. The passage to India over land was long, slow, and dangerous. A ship could carry more goods to and from India than the largest caravans, but Europeans could only guess that sailors could circumnavigate, or go around, Africa. Prince Henry helped unlock the secrets of Africa. Henry set up a school for sailors to learn the secrets of the ocean. He paid for many sailing expeditions out of the Portuguese treasury. Henry also employed cartographers who created the most sophisticated maps of their time. The maps made it possible for sailors to learn from previous expeditions.

Genoa was an important seaport. There is no doubt that as a child he caught rides on ships. He had little schooling but was a genius with the sea. His plan was not to prove that the world was flat, but it was to find a shortcut to the Spice Islands. He wanted to establish a city there for trade, seaports, and much more.When he grew into a man he was interested in sailing to Asia by going west. First he went to the king of Italy and presented his idea before him. Italy wasn't looking or a way to Asia, they were still receiving riches from their old trade routes.

  16. Disagreements soon arose between Spain and Portugal over who could claim newly discovered lands for their empires. Both nations were Catholic. Both considered the Pope the final authority. Popes had already decided questions of territorial conflict between them. The pope decided to draw a line of demarcation to separate the two empires. The pope's line ran from the arctic pole to the Antarctic, one-hundred leagues west of the Azores and Cape Verde Islands. Anything to the west of that line belonged to Spain.Anything to the east, belonged to Portugal. The exception was if any other Christian king or power already held lands within those areas by Christmas day, 1493. Demarcation- dividing line
