Unit 1 – Interactions North America, 1491–1607
Topic 1.3
How could history be impacted if Portugal rather than Spain led early exploration and colonization efforts in South America?
There would be more Asian influence on American civilization because of Portugal's stronger ties with Asia.
Slavery wouldn't have been introduced into the Americas as Portugal was against it at that time.
Portuguese might have become the dominant language and culture in both South America and North America.
The native cultures in the Americas would be completely preserved due to Portugal's diplomatic approach.
