Bartolomeu Dias (Bartholomew Diaz) was the first European explorer to round the Cape of Good Hope in 1488. He ventured only a little way up the east coast of Africa before returning to Portugal.Dias originally named the Cape as the "Cape of Storms", but this was later renamed Cape of Good Hope by King John II of Portugal as it represented the possibility of a trade route with the East.Vasco da Gama (Dom Vasco da Gama) was the first European (Portuguese) explorer to round the Cape of Good Hope and find a sea route to India, landing in Calicut in 1498.
In ancient times, the only commercial links between Europe and Asia were slow, difficult overland routes called the Silk Road, over which silk and spices made their way to European markets. Following the Middle Ages, growing European civilizations sought sea routes to the east (India, China) and eventually found them by going around the horn of Africa, which was perilous because of stormy weather. The Portuguese explorer Vasco Da Gama first made the journey in 1498, six years after Columbus' westward attempt began Spanish conquests in the Americas.
The era of European exploration is generally accepted to have begun in the mid-15th century and lasted until the early 17th century. During this period, a number of European countries, including Spain, Portugal, France, and England, began to explore and colonize portions of the Americas and the Pacific. Some of the major milestones of this era include: 1492 - Christopher Columbus voyages to the Americas for Spain 1498 - Vasco da Gama rounds the Cape of Good Hope for Portugal 1519 - Hernan Cortes conquers the Aztec Empire for Spain 1520 - Ferdinand Magellan's expedition circumnavigates the globe for Spain 1607 - Jamestown, the first permanent English settlement in the Americas, is foundedSo, the era of European exploration began in the mid-15th century and ended in the early 17th century.
