Vasco da Gama was very interesting. He was not the original choice to continue the journey of Bartolomeu Dias, but fate chose him for the task. His father was chosen, but he died before the journey could begin. Next is brother was chosen, but did not want to lead the expedition. Vasco da Gama was next in line.
Vasco da Gama was born the year that Prince Henry The Navigator died, so he did not know him, yet Portugal was still leading in explorations to the east of Africa and on to India. There might be one or two more animations and more comments about these important events because new worlds were opening up to the explorers during this time.
Let me know if you are enjoying the videos.
