Product Description

Over the centuries, Portugal has influenced the course of history and lives of the rest of us far more than many larger and more powerful countries. The Portuguese gave the English afternoon tea, and ceded Bombay the key to Britain's Indian empire. They brought protection from malaria to Africa , and were involved in starting slave-shipments to the Americas.  To India they brought higher education, curry and samosas; and to Japan, tempura, nascent Christianity and modern firearms. A generation of Portuguese explorers also mapped most of the entire world.
