1. Story
2. Bartolomeu Dias, blown far south of the coast by a storm, ran east and made landfall beyond the continent's southern extremity, proving that the Atlantic and Indian Oceans connect. His crews compelled him to turn back at the Great Fish River; he sighted the cape itself on the homeward leg and reached Lisbon in December 1488. The route to India was now known to exist and was not attempted for another nine years.

28. Evidence
29. The standard single-volume account of Portuguese expansion: Ceuta, the African coast, the Cape route, the carreira da Índia, the Estado da Índia and the institutions that ran them. V55 verification basis: NOT consulted in this session. Boxer is a mid-twentieth-century imperial history and its framing has been substantially revised by later work, particularly on Asian agency and on the limits of Portuguese control; this pack uses it for structure, not for interpretation.
