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