a whole series of bullets that have granted legitimacy to claim this property over the territories that will be. discovered. these covered. throughout the along the coast of africa. with the pope's blessing the portuguese ventured further and further south of the african coast. aboard the caravels all of europe join portugal to take control of african gold and slaves. flemish german english gentlemen is invitation all european merchants invested in the atlantic adventure. sailing from la goes the nation elvie's kind of most o. was the first european merchant to reach the coast the center gambia.
