Over a period of 250 years Portuguese became the global language of
maritime trade, and Iberian silver circulated as a world trading
currency. "A History of Portuguese Overseas Expansion 1400-1668
"provides an accessible survey of how the Portuguese became so
influential during this period and how Portuguese settlements were
founded in areas as far flung as Asia, Africa and South America.
Malyn Newitt examines how the ideas and institutions of a late
medieval society were deployed to aid expansion into Africa and the
Atlantic islands as well as how, through rivalry with Castile, this
grew into a world wide commercial enterprise. Finally, he considers
how resilient the Portuguese overseas communities were surviving
wars and natural disasters and fending off attacks by the more
heavily armed English and Dutch invaders until well into the 1600s.
Including a detailed Bibliography and Glossary, "A History of
Portuguese Overseas Expansion 1400-1668 "is an invaluabletextbook
for all those studying this fascinating period of expansion by all
the European powers.
