We literally discovered and mapped almost 1/3 of the planet earth for the Europeans while having 1,5 - 8 million population.
Portugal was the first european country that expanded western civilization across the entire planet earth, building schools - jesuits, massive churches, founded cities (for example Nagasaki), built roads, converted asians, africans, amerindians to christian faith. Spread western tecnology (for example fire weapons to japan), all the logistics, intercontinental navigation and were the first europeans to arrive to all those places.
