After the Fall of Constantinople to the Sunni Caliphate of Ottoman Turks, Portuguese discoveries in the Age of Exploration, would lead to the establishment of the Portuguese Empire from the early 15th century onwards, spreading Catholicism to Portuguese colonies in Ceuta on the Barbary coast of North Africa, Sub-Saharan Africa, the East Indies in Asia, and South America. The Lusophone countries of Angola, Brazil, Cape Verde, Mozambique, São Tomé e Principe, and Timor-Leste all have Catholic majorities as a result. The Primate of the East Indies based in the Portuguese Goa of early-modern India, was also part of the Portuguese Empire in the East and a large Latin Christian minority remains in India, the most prominent of which are Goan Catholics, Bombay East Indians and Mangalorean Christians are also among the lesser-known New Christian converts in the Eastern hemisphere.
