The kingdoms of ____________ and _____________ were the first to sponsor voyages over seas.
zhenek [66]

The kingdoms of Portuguese and the Spanish were the first to sponsor voyages overseas.

A voyage is defined as a lengthy journey, frequently involving flying or sailing.

The Portuguese discovered the Atlantic archipelagos of Madeira and Azores, the coast of West Africa in 1434, and the sea route to India in 1498, which is often regarded as a very remarkable voyage because it established the Portuguese maritime and trade presence in Kerala and the Indian Ocean.
