When finding a route from Africa to India, Portugal benefited in several ways. First, it established commercial colonies throughout the journey, on the African and Indian coasts, which gave it an economic power in the area superior to that of other European powers.

Second, it stopped paying taxes to Muslims for the use of a route that was not of their own, to become the owner of an alternative route.

Third, Portugal controled the spice traffic through this new route, which gave it great power in Europe .

What exactly are you sad about? But whatever sadness you are feeling, know you will get through it and sadness is just a way of self expression and its okay to be sad sometimes, it just makes you a stronger person deep down, being vulnerable and sad builds your character into being a amazing person. You got this, and don’t be so hard on yourself sometimes.
