Totic: Portuguese Pre-Colonial and Colonial Diplomatic Agents of Territorial Exploration and Exploitation of Sao - Tome and Principe Islands of the Gulf of Guinea in the Atlantic Ocean 1485-1975

A comprehensive analysis of Portuguese diplomatic agents reveals their pivotal roles in the pre-colonial and colonial exploration, exploitation, and colonization of São Tomé and Príncipe from 1485 to 1975. The study identifies 210 prominent figures who orchestrated territorial expansion, resource extraction, and forced migration, providing a detailed account of their changing portfolios and exploitative policies over nearly five centuries. This research fills critical gaps in historical records by documenting the full spectrum of foreign actors involved, offering new avenues for future studies to delve deeper into individual roles and impacts.
