Показать описание
The fabled sea passage to India was now a highway. The Indian Ocean was a massive free trade zone. Upon its waters the trade in spice brought in immense wealth to anyone willing to brave the dangers, the currents, and the politics. The Portuguese now burst into the scene like a storm and were determined to disrupt everything

I have Portuguese ancestors, but I am from the United States. When I was a child, my father would talk about the Portuguese with pride and admiration, going in depth about the discoveries of Portugal and how they changed the history of the world. My father passed when I was 12, but I always had a fascination of my ancestors and their feats. Your videos go so in depth of the specifics, and I thank you for your research and efforts in making these documentaries.

What amazes most about the way the Portuguese built their empire is that it was carefully planned and executed. It wasn't like Columbus' harebrained plan of sailing West and see what happens. Columbus got lucky ; the Portuguese gathered decade upon decade of knowledge until they got the prize.

Proud to have Portuguese blood running through my veins. My father was from Coimbra, mother from Sao Miguel Azores. I am first generation Canadian. 🇵🇹

If they made Hollywood Blockbuster movies in a series about this, you need to be involved...what a daring tale from the pages of history!!!

I'm a catholic ( Syro- Malabar Eastern Catholic) which used to be nestorians mentioned in the video. It really is great to watch this video sitting from my home in Calicut.


An interesting fact; the kingdoms in Kerala ( state which includes Calicut, Cochin, Kannoor and Kollam) used to have a matrilineal dynasty. More specifically, the heir to the throne is always the king's sister's son, ie, his nephew. Hence the reason the nephew's of kings keep popping in the video.

Not to insult my history teachers, or those who wrote the history books from when I was in school, but these 2 videos alone were much more effective on teaching me my own country history (from that period) then the school books or the teachers ever did, and on top that these videos are super entertaining and oh sooo well narrated. This is truly valuable stuff, I hope it gest translated to Portuguese (of Portugal hopefully) so not only the kids, but every Portuguese in general can learn our history, in a less "glorified" way, because truth be told, there's almost as much to be proud of as there is to be ashamed of. Anyway, amazing stuff, I truly have no words, congrats to all involved.

How’s this guy Duarte Pereira not known as one of the greatest battle minds ever? That battle was impossible, it was insane, and he pulled it off brilliantly.

Good work. Congratulations. Without wanting to monopolize, I suggest a look at the battle of Diu with Francisco de Almeida and the battles of Hormuz and Malacca by Afonso de Albuquerque, authentic works of art of military strategy from that time.

YouTube is far much better than school, they taught us Vasco Da Gama but i never picked much from the leasons, Here I'm hooked on the stories presented in an Entertaining way
