Answer:
The Portuguese discovery of the sea route to India was the first recorded trip directly from Europe to India, via the Cape of Good Hope. Under the command of Portuguese explorer Vasco da Gama, it was undertaken during the reign of King Manuel I in 1495–1499.
This is true because Portugal had control over the ports of Goa and Diu in India, and the port of Macau in China.
