Vasco da Gama is best remembered as the first European to sail from

European to India. The sea route he found helped Portugal build a rich empire
overseas.
Vasco da Gama was born in Sines, Portugal, around 1469. As young man,
da Gama studied navigation and astronomy. He went on to serve as an officer in
the Portuguese navy. In 1497, the king of Portugal asked da Gama to find the
sea route to India by sailing around Africa. This would allow Portugal to control

had rounded the southern trips of Africe. But these trips were long, difficult, and
dangerous. Was it possible to travel from Europe to India in a single voyage?
In July 1497, dan Gama set sail from Lisbon, Portugal, with four ships. By

developing countries have recognized this fact and are learning to take
advantage of it.
