Bartolomeu Dias was the first European explorer to sail around the southern tip of Africa discovering what is called the Cape of Good Hope. This discovery made it possible for Europeans to trade with Asia and India via water instead of across land, which was very expensive at the time.

What was the primary purpose of the Wannsee Conference?
The primary purpose of the Wannsee Conference was to decide the fate of the Jewish people.
The Wannsee Conference was a high-level meeting of German officials where they discussed a 'final solution' (it was a code) for the mass killing of Jews. It required important coordination and cooperation.
The Wannsee Conference was delivered by Heydrich. He announced that they would receive approximately 11,000,000 Jews from Europe, also from the United Kingdom, and from neutral nations like Switzerland, Ireland, Sweden, Spain, Portugal, and European Turkey. So during the meeting, they discussed that they would have to divide Jews into different regions, according to their gender, etc.
The plaintiff in the case, was seven-eighths white and one-eighth black, and had the appearance of a white man. On June 7, 1892, he purchased a first-class ticket for a trip between New Orleans and Covington, La., and took possession of a vacant seat in a white-only car. Duly arrested and imprisoned, Plessy was brought to trial in a New Orleans court and convicted of violating the 1890 law. He then filed a petition against the judge in that trial, Hon. John H. Ferguson, at the Louisiana Supreme Court, arguing that the segregation law violated the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment, which forbids states from denying "to any person within their jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws," as well as the Thirteenth Amendment, which banned slavery.
