Hey Guys,

I've recently started University and one of the topics we do is the Spanish Conquest of the New World (don't worry, natives warriors are spoken about in respect to Cortez). Anyway I'd read somewhere on this forum that the Portuguese had mad contact and was trading with the New World prior to Columbus' discoveries, I was wondering if there was truth in this and if anyone has any viable sources (preferably books, but websites will do too)?

Thanks to anyone who can help!
