In the late 15th century, spices were worth more than gold. Determined to break the monopoly of overland trade, Vasco da Gama set sail from Portugal on a perilous journey around the Cape of Good Hope. Battling storms and uncharted waters, he reached Calicut, India, in 1498opening the first direct sea route between Europe and Asia. This voyage changed global trade forever and marked the rise of Portugals maritime empire.#VascoDaGama #HistoryShorts #AgeOfExploration #SpiceRoute #MaritimeHistory #GreatVoyages #HistoricJourney #OceanExploration #WorldHistory #SeaAdventure #HistoryFacts #Explorers #historyshorts #history #cartoonshorts #historyfacts #funnyshorts #epichistory #motivation #inspiration #americanhistory #maritimehistory #viralshorts #animation #story #storytime #storyvideo #historias #historical #historiasreales #ocean #vascodagama #viralshorts ##videoediting #videoshort #exploration #histoire
