  Lisbon Explorer, Lisbon, Portugal, Asbjorn Lonvig,

The Portuguese Empire was the first global empire in history, and also the earliest and longest lived of the Western European colonial empires, existing from 1415 to 1999.

The conquest of Ceuta in 1415 and the exploration of the Atlantic Ocean in the early 15th century was a consequence of the kingdom's connection to the sea. The creation of a navigation school at Sagres by Henrique the Navigator allowed developments like the caravel and improved the quality of Portuguese cartography. A century later the main objective of a sea route to India was achieved and Portugal extended its possessions to a world distribution, being homeland to such explorers as Bartolomeu Dias, Vasco da Gama, and Magellan, although the latter sailed for the Spanish crown, Portugal's oceanic rival since 1492.

Portugal's small size and population restricted the empire to a collection of small but well defended outposts along the shoreline. The height of the empire power was reached in the 16th century but the indifference of the Habsburg kings and the competition with new colonial empires like the British, French and Dutch started its long and gradual decline. After the 18th century Portugal concentrated in the colonization of Brazil and African possessions. Brazilian gold gave a new pace to the empire but the catastrophic earthquake of 1755 that seriously affected Lisbon marked the symbolic end of Portuguese influence in the international political sphere. In 1822 Brazil became independent and in 1890 the British Ultimatum ended Portuguese intentions of a similar large colony in Africa.
