Portugal-Ottoman war is just real life Age of Empires game.

Change my mind.

Watching Portugal being the first "Global Power" with possesions in Europe, América, África, Asia, and Oceanía in XVIth C. A small country with a huge History and spirit. The Masters of Navigation of the Age of Discoveries.

For any language enthusiasts, 03:00

Upper script is Turkish written in Ottoman alphabet: transliterates as "Selam arkadaşlarım!" which means "Hello, my friends!"
Lower script is Indonesian written in Jawi alphabet: transliterates as "Salam saudara jauh!" which probably means "Hello, far away friends!"

Thank for the like! I love watching your documentaries! <3

..."was chosen for loyalty rather than talent", as soon as this line comes up, no matter the empire/nation/organisation, things are going down

As an historian and portuguese citizen i obvioulsy feel pride on these feats, but its very interesting how much is NOT taught at school, they end up only teaching a very skewed cliché view of what happened, thank you for telling both sides of the story, wins and losses.

It was not an "annexation" into Spain.
First of all, "Spain" didn't really exist as a political entity, they were two crowns (Castile and Aragon) and their respective kingdoms.
Portugal was inherited by the Habsburg monarch, making Portugal another of the Crowns held by that monarch.
Anexation implies the territory of Portugal became part of another crown (in this case, the Crown of Castile), this wasn't the case, the Crown of Portugal remained its own political entity, as another holding of the Habsburg monarch.

Thank you for another great video. In Portugal we have a saying: “poucos mas bons”. It means “few but the best”. 👍🏻

[sharkygames]

Ah yes the Portuguese, small nation with the most powerful naval empire in 1500s taking on empires, good old times.

Friend: I like the Portugese-Ottoman war.
Me after watching Kings and Generals: That's ambiguous, which one?

Meanwhile, in the Mediterranean, in 1535, the most powerful ship in the world, the giant Portuguese galleon known as Botafogo, spearheaded the Spanish emperor Charles V's conquest of Ottoman-held Tunis, by breaking the chains protecting the harbour's entrance with its spur ram and opening fire on La Goletta with its several hundred cannons.

This is really exciting for me. as I am from Lakshadweep islands of Indian Ocean, one of the stages of the war. One of my forefather was killed by Portuguese in Kalpeni island and have his tomb in our juma masjid. And my father who is a historian himself identified two gold coins belonging to Sulaiman the magnificent from one of the unidentified tombs in a local masjid in Agatti island when they were renovating some 35 yrs back and speculated to be one martyr of ottoman fleet buried there as it is Islamic tradition to bury them with their blood stained dress as an honor, so the coin in his waist belt would have been intact and to be found later in the waist area. He had the imprint of tat in his book, : Kalpeni island History, People and culture.

I've been seeing references to the Ottoman global aspirations in many historical channels, so had a hunch this was coming, more so because there wasn't much to find about it yet.
Thank you for delivering!

An additional comment: I think K&G, even though very accurate, as usual, You were quite generous with the Ottomans, since in total, they only gained access in the Red Sea, remaining blocked (except for rare disruptions or some military expeditions - not being intercepted in the case - and most subtle fugitive merchant trade that has ever been flowing throght out the century, but decisive), at the entrance to the Persian Gulf, much of the coast of India, between India and Ceylon and the Malacca Strait, all owned by the Portuguese. But this is relative in the discussion of historians (and about the scale of trade numbers), and we are often dominated by a Western prejudice, which is viewed as totally dominated by the Portuguese, replaced by a total dominance by the Dutch and then by the English and the British Empire (despite French and others attempts and participation. And we know it wasn't like that, as you shows us very well in the documentary.

A problem to the Ottomans: with the exception of a few galleons (despite excellent war galleys that were the heart of their navy in both seas - the galleasses were mostly in the Mediterranean) still clashed (despite their immense power in the Mediterranean and, less, but increasingly in the Red Sea and Basra), with a technological disadvantage in this confrontation in terms of armament and navigation in the high seas, Portugal had innovated for the first time in history in this scale and strengthened its means in these aspects (size and advanced shipbuilding - and mass eavy gunnery in galleons and naus (thoug with many light galleys and oarboats involved on regional armadas as support), and would increase even more in the future with other Europeans.

And the Ottomans faced many fronts (Portugal also, and concerted attacks in a geographical space, which was almost historically unprecedented, in the Indian Ocean, besides its bases under siege in North Africa (Morocco) and the corsairs in the Atlantic and west); but the Ottomans had the huge European front and the Iranian one. Although they were masters in managing peace on one side and offensive effort on the other one, depending on the moment.
