Answer:

Portuguese discoveries (Portuguese: Descobrimentos portugueses) are the numerous territories and maritime routes discovered by the Portuguese as a result of their intensive maritime exploration during the 15th and 16th centuries. Portuguese sailors were at the vanguard of European overseas exploration, discovering and mapping the coasts of Africa, Canada, Asia, and Brazil, in what became known as the Age of Discovery. Methodical expeditions started in 1419 along West Africa's coast under the sponsorship of prince Henry the Navigator, with Bartolomeu Dias reaching the Cape of Good Hope and entering the Indian Ocean in 1488. Ten years later, in 1498, Vasco da Gama led the first fleet around Africa to India, arriving in Calicut and starting a maritime route from Portugal to India. Portuguese explorations then proceeded to southeast Asia, where they reached Japan in 1542, forty-four years after their first arrival in India. In 1500, the Portuguese nobleman Pedro Álvares Cabral became the first European to discover Brazil.

What role did the press play in rallying America support for a war in Cuba?

Vikki [24]

Democratic countries are sometimes perceived as weak, because the leader of the nation has limited powers.
It was important for USA to show USSR that Kennedy has a full public support and can (and will) do whatever is necessary given the circumstances.
In order to do this press was convincing people that Cuba is an immediate threat to United States, and that people should wholly support their leader. This way Khrushchev knew that Kennedy wont back down due to public opinion.
