Had nothing to do with efficiency or spices. The pope told them to go steal land. You should read your history.
Do you deny that the efficient Portuguese amassed countless riches through their exotic exports and the "real estate" that they got them from?
Do you acknowledge that a coffee plantation in Brazil was more efficient at making money, than a corn farm in Europe?
Do you acknowledge that a gold mine in Guinea was more efficient at making money than a fishery outside Libson?
Face it. Colonization and enslavement was more efficient for the Portuguese. Therefore, according to you, they were justified.
