Was Vasco Da Gama a mean and reclusive explorer?
I read this in World History For Dummies, and I was wondering if that was just a big load of controversy and **** like that, anyways, it says that he shipped a whole lot of Indian flesh that he and his men slaughtered to go to the Indian sultan, in a forceful return through gold. I'm not sure if that is true or not but like I said it might be a whole lot of controversy.

Vasco da Gama was a Portuguese explorer, one of the most successful in the European Age of Discovery and the commander of the first ships to sail directly from Europe to India.

.Seriously doubt such an occrance ever happened. Vasco Da Gama was a noted sea faring explorer.Not as a coloniser.Portugal did later colonise a part of India (Goa) Not Vasco Da Gama

various super explorers murdered the locals alongside the way. verify out the history of the Spanish conquistadors. that's the winners who write history and that they settle on who became a super explorer or a sturdy chief and who became a genocidal barbarian. i'm undecided that he became a murderer because of the fact, on the time, the Christian worldwide became in a relentless state of conflict with the Muslims. returned then it became in simple terms considered taking the conflict to a diverse section.
