The Battle of Diu 1509 - The Art of War: Revenge

The Battle of Diu is regarded by some historians as one of the most pivotal battles in world history. The Portuguese sailed in against an enemy that had them outgunned and outnumbered. Yet despite that, Francisco de Almeida need for revenge was greater still. The outcome of this battle would forever change the world.

The history of the early 1500s Portuguese armadas is more incredible than science fiction. Thank you for your outstanding work in presenting these stories to all of us!

[MFPRego]

Damn... Francisco de Almeida was such a Badass...
Anyways, loved this video! It felt like a movie! Well done

[OtherRealmProductions]

Huge respect for adding Olivença to the portuguese map. Your the first one that i've seen doing that.

[kranffel]

Went on and bought the Conquerors book due to this man's videos on early Portuguese expansion. Thank you so much for this amazing work

[ruisilva]

Crazy how such a small kingdom achieve such greatness.

[connortraynor]

As a amateur historian, I just want to say how thankful I am for your videos on early Portuguese conquest in Asia. Obviously you do not receive the same amount of views as the commercial historian channels but if you maintain this quality of videos, I am certain you will average over a million views per video.

When someone covers parts of my country's History with this quality I have almost to hold my emotions back not to shed some tears.

I’m a history buff and this is my favourite YouTube channel. Firstly the story is told in a colourful fashion and the graphic presentation is outstanding. Next it is a series of events that does not have a big profile in the English speaking world. A journey of discovery for me, as exciting as any Hollywood blockbuster. Well done and thank you.

[thiagoalves]

This video is so impressive. What a privilege to have access to such a high quality history video for free. Thank you so much!

[Jorduan]

HOLY SMOKES - 1 hour and 20 minutes!! What a bloody treat this is. Not even watched the video yet, but have to state my appreciation for your work. I've been working through your back catalogue and loving it.

[FNDMA]

Thank you so much for giving room the the Portuguese history. Without Portugal, Europe would be Ottoman.

What Portugal did since the beginning of the 15 the century, until the end of the 16 the century, it's one of the Greatest Feats in the History of Mankind.
That small Nation( Portugal), with 1 million inhabitants, was able to be the first Global Empire in History.
Very few countries/ nations in this world, had such Impact on the World as we know today, like Portugal does.
Portugal is a small country, but is Brave, Corageous and Temerarious men, carved their name and the name of Portugal, with blood, sweat and tears, on the History Books concerning the History of our Planet and our place on this same common Planet.
What a Brave and Corageous Nation, Portugal is.
