Portugal expanded its empire from these key locations down the western coast of Africa, the Congo, the western coast of India, and eventually the eastern coast of South America, to Brazil. Additionally, it set up trading outposts in China and Japan.
Portugal colonized Angola and Mozambique in southern Africa, as well as Guinea-Bissau in modern-day west Africa, in the 1500s. Many citizens of these nations were seized by the Portuguese, sold into slavery, and transported to the New World.
