The Portuguese sailors discovered several Atlantic islands like the Azores, Madeira, and Cape Verde, explored and colonized the African coast, discovered an eastern route to India, discovered Brazil, explored the Indian Ocean, and sent the first direct European maritime trade and diplomatic missions to Ming China and to Japan.
