The indian sea was eventually dominated by the Portuguese that installed the cartaz system under Afonso de Albuquerque and Duarte Pacheco Pereira. They did so by fortifying all ways in and out of the Indian Ocean and charging an authorisation letter for those who wish to sail the indian.

Great video, but just one minor important detail; the Portuguese did manage to control a good part of the spice trade into Europe. This had to do with the fact that the Portuguese maritime routes slowly replaced the ancient silk trade routes, since by sea it was not only much quicker, but much more cargo could be transported. In addition, Afonso de Albuquerque managed to significantly reduce Muslim entry into India, and as a result of all this, Lisbon replaced Venice as the main supplier of spices in Europe in the early 16th century, which actually led Venice into bankruptcy. For over 50 years Lisbon became the richest city in Europe as a result of this.

Very very informative. I know about Vasco da Gama as Im Indian and visited Goa where the Portuguese setup trade routes.

He basically figured out to way to the east which eventually helped the British

Really cool video
Only a small tip: Everytime there's a ~ the sound is more like an "u" like "under".
For example, João would be more like jouwn or something like that.

Portugal at the time of discovery had a little more then 1 million population, trully unbelievable!!

[Chriscaf]

6:30 Technically, technically, technically Magellan had been to the spice islands before so when he died there he had circumnavigated the globe

[muazasif]

Really helpful and I need that mug glass or whatever that was called

[manuelaveiga]

Portugal did control the spice trades and Indian Ocean thanks to Afonso De Albuquerque :)

[bconni]

the vid really didn't emphasize the fact that Portugal had almost complete control of the Indian ocean for about 150 years.

[sultan]

the guide to india who took vasco across the arabian sea was an india trader with a ship twice as large as vascos.
