What was one of Portugal’s main goals in exploring the west coast of Africa?

1:to find the northernmost point of the continent

2:to claim territory along the coast

3:to find a sea route to North America

4: complete maps of the continent

5: Find more slaves and sell them

i think the answer is: cuba wanted to be independent from spain, and the u.s. wanted to end spanish rule in the west.

hope i
