The Portuguese Empire was one of the first and longest-lasting global empires in history, spanning from the 15th to the 20th century and stretching across every inhabited continent. Fueled by exploration, trade, and maritime innovation, Portugal pioneered the Age of Discovery, with explorers like Vasco da Gama and Ferdinand Magellan charting new sea routes to Africa, Asia, and the Americas. From Brazil to Goa, Angola to Macau, Portuguese ships carried spices, gold, and slaves across vast oceans, creating a network of forts, colonies, and trading posts that reshaped global commerce. Though small in size, Portugal wielded enormous influence through its navy and its mastery of navigation. Over time, the empire declined under competition from other European powers, but its cultural and linguistic legacy endures across the world today. In this episode, we explore the rise, reach, and resilience of the Portuguese Empire—the seafaring nation that first connected the continents.
