Europeans discovered North and South America by accident while looking for better trade routes to India and China. One such European was called Prince Henry the Navigator from Portugal. He sent ships from Portugal sailing down the west coast of Africa but did not get very far on the first try. How did Prince Henry’s navigation MOST LIKELY affect European settlement in North and South America? A.) Prince Henry's routes most likely explain why the Spanish and Portuguese built their colonies in modern Latin America instead of farther north.
B.) Prince Henry's routes most likely explain the origins of the transatlantic slave trade which allowed the Portuguese to build large plantations in the Americas.
C.) Prince Henry's routes most likely explain why Spanish is more widely spoken in Latin America than Portuguese, since Prince Henry did not attempt to cross the Atlantic Ocean.
D.) Prince Henry's routes most likely explain the origins of the foreign diseases which nearly wiped out the indigenous population of the Americas after the Europeans conquered them.
