The king of Portugal was João I (John I). Henrique o Navegador was a the third prince, and he was not even the heir. He founded the Escola de Sagres to study all details of ocean navigation. He was one of the sons of the king and of his wife: Filipa de Lancaster, John of Gaunt (duke of Lancaster)'daughter, and great daughter of King Edward III of England

Abulhasan Al Masudi This amazing historian and geographer was born in Baghdad (in 895 CE) and travelled to East Africa, the Middle East, Persia, Russia, China and the Indian Subcontinent. He died in Cairo in 957 CE. His famous work of world history “Meadows of Gold” has been translated into English. He produced many more books and even encyclopaedias about world history and combined cultural and social matters with politics. Al Masudi would on his travels speak to locals and use their accounts. His interest of the world would include non-Muslim lands like Scandinavia and their peoples

before the arrival of the Portuguese , the Indian ocean region was an Islamic domain for many hundreds of years. but within only a century the Portuguese empire ended it for the Muslims. all the other Europeans who came afterwards had the luxury of not having to deal with any real Muslim super powers in that region, thanks to all the dirty work the Portuguese did the century before

Henry, the Navigator has never been king.

it was the Portuguese who innovated almost every major technological advancement in maritime exploration and naval warfare almost 100 years before Columbus first set sail . dont forget, Portugal waged war against powerful Muslim and Asian kingdoms in the Indian ocean and far East. it was anything but easy, as these people were more technologically advanced than the Native American people the Spanish subjugated in the new world. to sum it up...... Portugal with a smaller population, sailed longer didstances (and with the exception of Brazil,) fought more powerful kindgoms Spain with a larger population, sailed shorter distances and fought weaker people.

1st the Portuguese bring the commerce in Africa, the Portuguese where traders, and we brought slaves, sadly, after that Portugal started the slavery, but it wasn’t only Portugal, all the countries in Europe have done that, even before the Portuguese empire the enemy’s capture where slaves, in Europe and out of Europe, in Africa, Americans Ásia. So Portugal didn’t stared slavery.

1. Castille was a rich kingdom as well as Aragon Genoa Republic or Venice's . England was a poor kingdom at that time as northern Europe. 2. Sugar cane was brought to Iberian Península by the moors when they conquered it and later taken by portuguese and spaniards to the Canary Islands. 3. Kwolege of navigation was in Salamanca University and the Kingdom of Aragon united to Castille by a royal marriage, not only italians had it 4. Interviewing german ir english historians instead of portuguese or spanish. Why?.

They keep "hiding" the importance of Spain (even Portugal) in European History... since the Iberians, Romans...Celts, Vikings, Goths, Visigoths (so many Visigoths kings!!) The Jew community, the art influence , the influence of the people from the Iberian Peninsula (as the Greeks baptized it) in the Roman Empire... the opening of the path to the "New Continent" that started the History of so many new countries as USA, Canada, and the rest of all countries of this new discovered continent (new in 1492, of course, and new for the Europeans, of course too), and etc etc etc etc... It's their " revenge forever". Spain was a huge empire for too long, and the biggest rival for the rest of Europe, specifically for England, they will never forget or forgive it. They love to do like the Spaniards didn't even exist, it gives them pleasure to manipulate History to look like "they" were always the Heroes, the good guys... it's almost a sexual pleasure for them. They even made possible that today, in 2022, almost nobody in USA know where Spain is...or why so many native Americans speak Spanish (in Spain is Castilian you know) crazy right?, they know very well WHY everybody speaks English and where English came from....but "Spanish"? they think it's the original language from "Mexicans and all these brownish people", they don't even know or get that "these people" are native Americans, or mixed native Americans with some European blood. It is pretty sad...but that's what happens when the same people controls the media. For example: Countries With the Most Blue Eyed People Rank Country Percentage of Population That is Blue Eyed in the WORLD. IN THE W O R L D 1 Estonia 89 2 Finland 89 3 Ireland 57 4 Scotland 50 5 England 48 6 Wales 45 7 Belgium 28.9 8 France 20.2 9 United States 16.6 10 Spain 16.3 timespanda.com/top-10-countries-with-the-most-blue-eyed-people/ 5-reasonswhy.com/most-blue-eyed-people/ " What???, no Germany? above Holland? not Russia on the list? no Switzerland? no Italy?... aren't they brown people? are they really Caucasians? Europeans? oh! really? was Dalí a Spaniard? I thought he was French, and Gaudí? , I thought he was French too, and Picasso? really? Oh...but he lived in Paris right? , what? this can not be true...Monsieur Eiffel offered the Eiffel tower to the City of Barcelona in 1888 and Barcelona's mayor of the time rejected it? but... oh I thought Spain ...oh really? Spain is right next to France? , what? Rita Hayworth real name was Margarita Carmen Cansino and his dad was a Spaniard? but... she was so pretty and so white... oh really? "Martin Sheen" is really Ramon Estevez and his family emigrated to USA from Galicia, Spain? really??...oh, like he is so white and has blue eyes I never thought... and we can keep going writing things like these for days and days , pages and pages. This is the result of totally IGNORING a very important European country when they teach History to the new generations. oh well... who gives a fuck anyway... HEAVY SIGH

the Spanish empire got kick started mostly out of pure chance and good luck. they were very fortunate to have many things go their way in a short period of time. were as the Portuguese on the other hand, had a clear objective from the very beginning that they achieved through hard work, determination and many lost lives. it was the Portuguese, not the Spanish, who innovated almost every major technological advancement in maritime exploration almost a century before Columbus first set sail.

There was a lot more sea travel than the history books tell because these countries kept things quite NewZealand has over 265 unidentified accent ships wrecks around its coast line .one very large ship has 6000 year old Chinese wood in its skeleton .Spanish coins found and 2 helmets

the Portuguese who basically got the age of discovery started, were a crusading empire. there's a common misconception among many historians that they were a trading empire. but that's a myth.

O Infante D. Henrique NÃO era Rei !!!!! Era Príncipe !!!!! Ou Infante visto não ser o filho mais velho !!!!! Um erro grande !

Why are these alledged Historians skipping right past Brendon the Navigator's "World Tour" in a ship full of proselytizing Monks around 575 AD? His crew mapped both the North & South American coastlines on their way to Indonesia.

This video unfortunately has got some mistakes: - Henry the navigator was not a king (was the sun/brother/uncle of the King); - Cristopher Coulombus was portuguese (he spoke portuguese, castilian, Latin, Greek, hebrew (he had jewish blood) and never spoke italian or catalonian); - sugar is not a product of the new world; the europeans found it in the Meadle East during the cruzades (sweet salt); it was brought into America by the portuguese; they first explore it in the african isle of São Tomé (São Tomé e Príncepe) with slaves brought from the main land. The business was brought to America (Brasil) because the farms were much bigger then far more profitable. The portuguese created the sugar plantation in Brasil and the related slave trade. Others cultures followed like american native tobaco and cocoa. Coffee was grown in plantations too and like sugar was brought from the Meadle East. The best crops of coffee are called "arabic".

1. Columbus was Italian- he was born in the Republic of Genoa and spoke a dialect of Ligurian as his first language..most respected historians agree on him being Italian. Explorers probably spoke many languages, especially given they could sail for different monarchs and use their linguistic skills. 2. Sugar does not come from the Middle East. It got there from ancient India. The first chemically refined sugar appeared on the scene in India about 2,500 years ago. From there, the technique spread east towards China, and west towards Persia and the early Islamic worlds, eventually reaching the Mediterranean in the 13th century.

Before making this video you should have studied History. There was no King Henry of Portugal. Prince Henry was one of the sons of King D. João I.

Henry was a prince, third son of the King João I, he was never a king himself. How can you state such a blatant error in a documentary?

So many things wrong in this video. Infante D. Henrique was never king of Portugal. Also Colombo offered first to Portugal to do the trip but the portuguese knew it was not possible to go to India that way, so then he went to make the same offer to Spain. And why a german? Is there not good historians in Portugal or Spain? Just asking.

Henry the navigator was prince, his father john the the first was the king This doc. Is wrong

That is a question i would expect from a 5 year old and not an adult. When the Nomadic Asian tribes migrated to America they discovered the land and explored part of it. They made an undocumented discovery. When the Europeans discovered the land and explored it, they ALSO made a discovery, but a documented one. Why is one relevant and the other useless? Because the area was mapped, studied, with a navigational path and sent to the Pope. After that Europe learns about it and eventually the rest of the world. Here is a quick analogy. The world suffers from a terrible plague, i discover a cure but only heal my family. You discover a cure 200 years later but you share it with the world and teach them how to make a cure. We both made a discovery, yours was important to humanity mine wasn't. If we use your flawed logic and make no distinguishes, the Australopithecus discovered the world. There, easy.
