Answer

Brief Explanations:

Christopher Columbus's voyages to the Americas in 1492 led to Spanish claims in the New World. This sparked competition with Portugal, which had its own exploration goals. Magellan's expedition was later (1519 - 1522) and circumnavigated the globe. Vasco da Gama (1497 - 1499) sailed to India. Bartolomeu Dias (1488) rounded the Cape of Good Hope. Columbus's discovery of the Americas directly led to the Spain - Portugal territorial competition there.

Answer:

Christopher Columbus.
