Product Description
Over a period of 250 years Portuguese became the global language of maritime trade, and Iberian silver circulated as a world trading currency. A History of Portuguese Overseas Expansion 1400-1668 provides an accessible survey of how the Portuguese became so influential during this period and how Portuguese settlements were founded in areas as far flung as Asia, Africa and South America.
Malyn Newitt looks at how the ideas and institutions of a late medieval society were deployed to aid expansion into Africa and the Atlantic islands as well as how, through rivalry with Castile, this grew into a world wide commercial enterprise. Finally, he considers how resilient the Portuguese overseas communities were surviving wars and natural disasters and fending off attacks by the more heavily armed English and Dutch invaders until well into the 1600s.
Including a detailed Bibliography and Glossary, A History of Portuguese Overseas Expansion 1400-1668 is an invaluabletextbook for all those studying this fascinating period of expansion by all the European powers.
