Vasco da Gama Portuguese explorer

 Vasco Da Gama

Vasco da Gama was an adventurous expedition that circled Africa and discovered the right sea route from Europe to India.

The Portuguese prince Henry the Sailor (1460-1394) had been searching for such a sea route.

With this success, the Portuguese king realized that the long attempts to reach the "Andes" by sea were just as successful. However, the next expedition was postponed. Somewhere in 1997, a naval expedition set sail for the Indies. King Vasco da Gama was chosen as its head by a modest chieftain and was born in 1460 in the Portuguese city of Sinai.

On July 8, 1497, Vasco da Gama set sail with four ships and a crew of 170 men, including a few spokesmen who could speak Arabic. The ships first reached the Cape Verde Islands. Then, unlike the Dias, which stretched along the African coast, it went south beyond Vasco da Gama to the Pacific Ocean. It advanced farther south and then turned east to reach the Cape of Gazpacho.

It was a better route, much shorter than the lower coastal route, but it required much more courage and sailing skills. They did not see the land on the chosen route for nineteen days. It was two and a half times longer than that period. , Which hit Columbus' ships.

On November 22, Vasco da Gama completed the Cape of Good Hope and set out for the east coast of Africa.

To the north, he was part of the Rakaju Muslim territory in a few cities, such as Mombasa and Maldini, now called Kenya. In Maldini, he accompanied an Indian sailor who guided him on a twenty-three-day voyage from the Arabian Sea to India. On May 20, 1498, ten months after his departure from Portugal, Dagama anchored off the coast of Calicut, a major trading centre of southern India.

Zamoran, the Hindu ruler of Kalikut, welcomed Dagama. However, he soon became obsessed with all the goods that Dagama had given him as a gift. Muslim traders dominated the trade routes of the Indian Ocean. So he was suspicious of them. Kozamoren was barred from negotiating a trade deal. However, when he left Kalikut in August, he amassed a large stock of goods to present to his ruler, including a few Indians.

The expedition's return journey proved more difficult. It took them three months to reach the Arabian Sea. Scuruy's disease engulfed several of his crew. Only two ships were able to return safely. The first arrived in Portugal on July 10, 1499, while Dagama's own ship anchored there for two months. Less than a third of the crew. That is, fifty-five people came back alive.

By the time Dagama returned to Lisbon on September 9, 1499, the king and himself had realized that this two-year journey had been a resounding success.

Six months later, the Tigizi king launched a similar expedition under the command of Pedro Valvarez Cabral. Cabral arrived in India but discovered Brazil at night (some historians believe that the Tigiz expedition had discovered it long before that.

He returned with a large quantity of spices. However, some of Kabir's men were killed in the Black Cut. Vasco da Gama was sent there on a vicious expedition with a fleet of twenty ships.

Dagamane was very ruthless in this expedition. He stopped an Arab ship off the Indian coast, 'snatched the cause', but allowed the passengers to remain in the ship and then set it on fire.

Hundreds of people, including women and children, will be burnt to death. Arriving at Kali Kit, the cross demanded that the Muslims withdraw from the port. Zamorin hesitated. Todagama arrested and killed 38 Hindu sailors and shelled the port. Helpless Zamorin accepted Dagama's demands.

On their way back, Dagamane also established several Portuguese colonies in East Asia.

As a result of all these measures, the king loaded him with wealth. He gave him sermons, feudal lords and other financial rewards. He came to India again in 1524 when the new Portuguese king appointed him viceroy. He fell ill and died and was buried here in 1524.

He was eventually reburied in Lisbon. Dagamane was married and had seven children. The main benefit of Vasco da Gama's voyage is that it opened up direct sea routes from Pope to India and the Far East, with implications for centuries to come.

Portugal was the first to be affected. Through its monopoly on a new trade route to the East, it became one of the richest countries in Europe, a poor country on the outskirts of the civilized world.

The Portuguese quickly established a colonial empire around the Indian Ocean. Their centers were in India, Indonesia, Madagascar, the east coast of Africa and elsewhere. In Brazil and West Africa, their colonial empire The Portuguese occupied most of these colonies until the last half of the twentieth century.

Vasco da Gama's discovery of a new trade route to India had a profound effect on Muslim traders, who had established a monopoly on most of the Indian Ocean trade routes. The Portuguese soon defeated them and drove them away. Moreover, the land routes from India to Europe became ineffective as the Portuguese sea route was much shorter.

This was a loss for both the Amarotoman Turks and the Italian trading cities such as Venice. For the rest of Europe, this change meant that they could now obtain goods from the Far East at much lower prices than before.

However, Vasco da Gama's voyage did not have a real impact on Europe or the Middle East, but on India and Southeast Asia. Prior to 1498, India had little contact with Europe.

India's role in history has been that of a self-sufficient region, while only the foreign influences of nations coming from the northwest have been manifested. Dagama's voyage introduced India directly to European civilizations by sea. Increased perseverance. Even in the last half of the nineteenth century, the entire subcontinent became part of the British Empire (it should be borne in mind that this was the first time in the history of India that the whole of Kasara was united under a single ruler).

As far as Indonesia is concerned, it first came under European influence and then completely under its control. Somewhere in the middle of the twentieth century, they found freedom.

The person who can be compared to Vasco da Gama is naturally Stuart Columbus. Dagama is heavy in some respects. For example, in terms of distance and duration, its journey was much longer than that of Columbus.

Nearly three ounces more, requiring advanced navigation skills (regardless of how far Columbus traveled, he could not have lost the new world, while Dagama strayed from the Cape of Gazelle and strayed into the vastness of the Indian Ocean.) Furthermore, unlike Columbus, Dagama actually reached his destination.

It can be argued that Vasco da Gama did not discover any new world.

Rather, it was a link between European nations and an already densely populated area. The same can be said of Columbus.

Columbus's voyage had a profound effect on the civilizations of the Western Hemisphere. Dagama's voyage resulted in the transformation of the civilizations of India and Indonesia. There are much larger regions than India.

However, the population of India in the West Bank was more than the combined population of the countries.

However, it is clear that Columbus's influence is far greater than that of Vasco da Gama. The first Indian voyage from Africa, Vasco da Gama, decided to embark on this voyage long before he was appointed to lead the expedition. Jati) was discovered some time later and through another western country.

On the other hand, if Vasco da Gama had been, the Portuguese king would have appointed another person to head the expedition. Even if that person had been incompetent and failed, the Portuguese would not have given up on their attempt to find a sea route to India. In the presence it becomes clear that the chances of another nation reaching India before them are slim.

Second, the European influences in India and the Far East were not as lasting as in the West. Indian civilization changed a great deal after its connection with the West. However, in the decades after Columbus's journey, the world's civilizations finally perished. Nor has there been an event in India like the creation of American states in the Western Hemisphere.

Columbus cannot be blamed for what happened in the Western Hemisphere.

Similarly, Vasco da Gama cannot be held responsible for the consequences of direct contact with the east of Europe. The captains were the ones who discovered the west coast of Africa.

I think Vasco da Gama was a very important link in this whole chain. But he could not be considered a key figure in the chain of individuals involved in connecting Western Europe to European civilization. And that is the main reason why it Is counted in the list.
