By that time, empires such as Spain, Portugal, England and some other empires like these started to become powerful because they have those heavy weapons. After these days small kingdoms and the bourgeoisies in those feudal areas and big kingdoms should find another way to earn money and goods.

His letter was a bit informal and very much detailed and there were also his opinions. When he was a young boy, he was very good at mathematics and his hobby was a little strange; it was copying maps. They arrived at Lisbon on 7 September 1502.
