Answer:

The answer is: Apart from being much more organized, D. Enrique in Portugal founded an institution dedicated to cartography and the formation of a state-owned fleet, which gave him an advantage over the rest of European explorers.

Explanation:

Almost from its birth Portugal needed to expand and open new routes to trade and exchange, especially having a border with only one kingdom.

This fact influenced the much more organized character, thanks also to the work of Enrique the Navigator, who founded an institution dedicated to cartography and the formation of a fleet owned by the State. The first great wave of expeditions was sent by Portugal under the mandate of D. Enrique and they entered the Atlantic Ocean arriving at the Madeira Islands, and then to the Azores Islands.

The answer is: Apart from being much more organized, D. Enrique in Portugal founded an institution dedicated to cartography and the formation of a state-owned fleet, which gave him an advantage over the rest of European explorers.
