| Summary | "Descobrimentos dos Portuguezes nos Seculos XV e XVI" by A. F. Marx de Sori is a historical account written in the late 19th century. This book delves into the Portuguese discoveries during the 15th and 16th centuries, exploring the causes behind these expeditions, their significance, and the notable consequences that arose from them. Through a detailed examination, the author provides insight into Portugal's maritime exploits that shaped global trade and exploration during the Age of Discovery. The book begins by outlining the motivations for Portuguese exploration, highlighting factors like the desire for trade, the spread of Christianity, and territorial expansion. Marx de Sori narrates the key voyages, including those of notable figures like Prince Henry the Navigator, Vasco da Gama, and Bartolomeu Dias, detailing significant discoveries such as the route to India and the finding of new lands. Each expedition's challenges and triumphs are depicted, with an emphasis on the broader impacts of these endeavors, including changes in commerce and shifts in power dynamics in Europe and the Orient. Ultimately, the narrative underscores how these explorations not only altered the course of Portuguese history but also had lasting effects on global civilization.
