Sarah has given you a good answer but there's something that needs correction. The year is 1143. 1. Some guy wanted a big farm for himself so promised some spoils for those who killed for him. 2. Then went to Africa and traded some black humans 3. Then went to India and got really rich. 4. Decided to expand to Brasil and got even richer 5.
