The starting point was the first contact to May 20, 1498 after the trip led by Vasco da Gama to Calicut〔Scammell, G.V. (1997). The First Imperial Age, European Overseas Expansion c.1400-1715. Routledge. ISBN 0415090857.〕 (in modern-day Kerala state in India). The aim of Portugal in the Indian Ocean was to ensure their monopoly of the spice trade, establishing several fortresses and commercial trading posts. == Background == Asia has always exerted a fascination on the Portuguese. Then came the much valued spices, luxury products like ivory, precious stones and dyestuffs used in the dye industry. The inaccuracy of geographical knowledge before the Discoveries made people to believe that Asia lay at the beginning of the Nile River and not in the Red Sea, allowing the inclusion of Ethiopia in Asia and the extension of the word India, to incorporate these and other parts of Eastern Africa in it. Here, according to an old legend, would live a Christian emperor, wealthy and powerful, known as Prester John. The designation of Prester John seems to derive from zan hoy (my master), an Ethiopian term for how the population designated its king. In the fifteenth century, Prester John was identified with the king of Ethiopia; after a few contacts between the two parties, the Portuguese needed to know how to get to Ethiopia, although little information about that empire. This knowledge was transmitted by travelers, geographers, pilgrims, merchants and politicians returning home after long trips. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Portuguese presence in Asia」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク 翻訳と辞書 : 翻訳のためのインターネットリソース Copyright(C) kotoba.ne.jp 1997-2016.
