Alright folks - we start the next chapter in the history of the Portuguese Empire! Its all about conquest now! Please don't forget to leave a comment, give the video a like, and share on social media!!
@@FlashPointHx excellent!!! I will share with others and look forward to the other videos in the future. You have really done an amazing job with the history of Portugal! Thank you again!
Thank you so much for keep focusing on Portuguese history. One gripe: you keep pronouncing "de Almeida" as "doo Almeida". Try "dee almeida" ou "d'almeida": the 'e' is almost silent
Yeah, too small for such big dreams. In terms of population and resources, the smallest maritime power during the Age of Discovery. That such a tiny country, with a tiny population, and tiny natural resources, was able to be the forerunner of European overseas expansion and then build such sprawling and long-lasting empire is simply mindboggling. Sooner or later, the Dutch, the French, the Spanish and the English would stake their claim. But, alas, adjusted for its size, Portugal had indeed a massive impact on the world - the first westerners to reach Tibet and Japan (which forever altered the history of Japan), the first westerners to arrive to South America (yeah, because the Caribbean are in Central America), the first to circumnavigate the whole of massive Africa, and so on...today, Portuguese is one of the most spoken languages in the world (at number 6, by native speakers); among European languages, only Spanish and English surpass Portuguese. And, what comes next on this series (the Battle of Diu), will forever change the dynamics of power in the world - if the global center of power in this age was in the hands of eastern powers, Diu will change it to western powers. Diu was indeed one of the most important maritime battles ever...and all because a father lost his son...
@@lfsm9380 Tiny resources is a myth, due to the bad second half of 20th century economy, when Europe was growing with the billions of the post WW2 Marshall Plan, Portugal avoid the Marshal (in propotion) and spent all in building new Angola and Mozambique. The rest was spent in a too long time war alone against almost 10 countries. Because, Iberia in the last 2.000 years was always richer than the rest of Europe. In fact was the only region to escape the Great Famine and famine is the worst state of poverty! Of course the Media Guilds with the Iberia black legend always tried to blacken Catholic countries and especially Portugal because they always believed that cutting the Brazilian cultural roots with Portugal, they would conquer Brazil and vampirize their entire resources. Portugal exported all kind of foods to England, especial wine, Porto Wine, that needs rich resources, just see the recent movies Damsel and you see a rich land called Portugal.

Francisco de Almeida is one of the portuguese GOATs, especially for his win at the Battle of Diu. Thank you Flash Point History for this thrilling content!
Wonderful! Thank you for your dedication to the history of Portugal. The Age of Discoveries was by no means a good example of humanism. but within the context of development, exploration, and imperialism of the time, it was a significant milestone in world history. Many things would be diferent if not for these events. The Ottoman Empire would likely have controlled the spice trade, Europe was in a constant state of civil war, and 'globalization' might not have reached every corner of the world. Let us learn from the mistakes and atrocities of the past, but not erase history. Let us honor that learning and recognize the value of what was the first step toward modern globalization. We romanticize the Roman Empire, the Viking invasions, Genghis Khan, Napoleon, and so on, yet much of history remains hidden. Thank you for this documentary.
So well put - for better or for worse, the Portuguese disrupted the Indian Ocean like a tidal wave. Our modern ethics don't apply well to what they (or anyone else) did during this time. Had they not been in the indian Ocean - The Ottomans may have unconquerable

I started watching your videos just out of curiosity to become aware about what you would say on the History of my country: Portugal. Unfortunately, our History is totally disconsidered when compared to Spain, British, French or Dutch history. Current Portuguese politicians are ashamed of it and woke is slowly taking place to consider us evil demons. I am proud of all our ancestors and can only praise their character, whether with actions nowadays considered unhumane. Portugal, a poor, seldom unhabited country, made the World global for the first time, brought us altogether and it is astonishing what it has achieved.
@@FlashPointHx I understand. But I honestly believe you should get a bigger platform on big streaming companies where you can narrate history the way you're doing right now. It's so engaging.

It would be great to continue as long as possible. For my part, I will send the link to recommend it to everyone I can.
Agree - this was the part where globalization got a huge jump start. After this, every nation wanted to have a global trade network. Thanks for sharing as well
We must not forget Portugal's huge Sephardic Jewish, New Christisn community, as they played a central role in helping Portugal realize her "Golden Age," Portugal had s monopoly on the global Spice Trade" for over 150 years. Between the 15th until the early part of the 18th century, Portugal was the richest, most powerful nation on earth, and her language and culture was present in 5 continents. As such, Portuguese is still spoken officially on 5 continents today. It also is the most spoken language of the Southern Hrmisphere. And it is the most spoken language ìn South America. Many new Christian's (Jews who were forcibly converted to Christisnity) comprised Portugal's Intelligentia (physicians, astronomers, merchants, cartographers, bankers, lawyers, scientists, financiers, artisans, expert tradesmen, diplomats, translators, writers, philosophers, traders, inventors, mathematicians, Professors, oceanographers, 9map makers, etc., etc.
Plz continue with this awesome series there still so much to tell there is more 70 years of great victorys and interessing historys you still have to go fro the west indies campaigns and the chinese pirates chapter and the african feitorias its so exciting to finally have a series about this you sir have the thanks of portugal 🇵🇹
@@FlashPointHx Thanks.....Guess what? -Specialization in Modern History and Discoveries !_ For many years these themes were never properly addressed, mainly as events that changed the course of world history, nor were they presented with due graphics. Now we can say that you were pioneers. Thank you so much again.
@@cg8397 "E foi assim que aconteceu o desastre de Chaul, que custou a vida provavelmente a 140 homens, inclusive a do capitão-mor Lourenço de Almeida, filho do então vice-rei da Índia, Francisco de Almeida, como se refere em obra recente. O «diabo louro», como Lourenço era conhecido, era um jovem cavaleiro, pouco mais de vinte anos de vigor físico, inexperiência naval, ingenuidade e imensa coragem pessoal. Com os seus quase dois metros de altura, que o tornavam um dos homens mais corpulentos do reino, era acima de tudo um cavaleiro da estirpe medieval, que hesitou em fechar os ouvidos aos seus fidalgos e em seguir os conselhos do condestável de artilharia, o alemão Arnau, de colocar a pique a armada inimiga com bombardeamento intenso." - Jorge Nascimento Rodrigues & Tessaleno Devezas, "Portugal: o pioneiro da globalização: a herança das descobertas", Centro Atlantico, 2009.
The second part is going to be terrible! Hollywood should make a movie about this story. It has everything, adventure, an achievement considered one of the most important, the love of a father and the terrible revenge for the death of his son. In addition to sending a letter to the enemy saying that he was arriving and that he was getting ready. "You ate the chicken, now you're going to have to eat the rooster." Thank you very much for the videos you are producing. I'm waiting and looking forward to the second part. Good luck/🇵🇹
The Bravado, the gumption to take on such a grandiose plan beggars belief. But here we witness King Manuel’s grand global strategy using the latest technology of the age as a pioneer of taking real endeavours and challenges that inspires future trail blazers
@@ConstantineJoseph Manuel got lucky - he had men that could accomplish near impossible tasks. His biggest fault is that he never gave his men the recognition that hey truly deserved - Gama, Periera, Almeida, and even Albuquerque would all fall out of favor.
Damn it! How was this 26 minutes!? When it was about to start...it ended xD xD These videos and storytelling are just addictive! Nice work once again @FlashPointHx ! But pleeeasse... can you release part 2 still this weekend! I think I can't wait more than that! xD Waiting for part two to be like: "you didn't have a proper burial, not a candle nor a torch lighten for you.... Today, here, I light a city for you, my son"
Pappa Almeida was going to bring down the thunder for sure - I've just started on part 2 - keep in mind, I'm a one person show so I create them as fast as I can =)
@@FlashPointHx Even recent movies are using palaces and Portuguese monuments built in Manueline style. The Manueline style architecture was built based on king Dom Manuel instructions. This recent movie called Damsel 2024 was filmed in the Mosteiro dos Jeronimos e Convento de Cristo, who had astonishing beautiful architecture based on the Discoveries Age. Independent of one likes the movie or not, the true is that the historical real scenarios are something to admire.
The Battle of Diu in 1509 marked a shift in power and the beginning of the dominance of Europeans, first the Portuguese, then the Dutch and then the French and the British, over the world seas. The number of books on military history such as ‘50 Battles That Changed the World’ by William Weir, ‘Moment of Battle: The Twenty Clashes That Changed the World’ by James Lacey, ‘The Fifteen Decisive Battles of the World: From Marathon to Waterloo’ by Edward Creasey among others, all agree that the Battle of Diu changed the course of world history. It is as important as the battles of Waterloo and Trafalgar! Surprisingly, such an important battle has been forgotten in India and even in Europe! With the Battle of Diu, the Arab World Fell, the Mediterranean World Fell, the Medieval World Fell, the old Poor, Closed Europe World Fell! The Old Theoric Dogmas Fell! The Old Little World Fell! For the First Time a New Planet Born, a Planet called Earth, where all the globe knew their own planet, new cultures, histories, peoples and new civilizations. From a continent full of fears, myths, famines and uncertainties born a new modern. advanced and powerful continent, that would lead the world until nowadays, a continent called Europe!
1. Europe was not as isolated as you think. Merchants from Genoa and Venice setup various trading posts in faraway land, such as in Istanbul, Alexandria, Jaffa, Crimea, etc. They have diplomatic relation/contact with the Ottoman Empire, Golden Horde, Persia, Delhi Sultanate, and even Ming Dynasty. And not just the Italians, but the English, the Dutch, and the Germans too. They have trading posts in Scandinavia, Northern Russia, Kazan, Volga region, all the way to Caspian sea and Persia. 2. Europe by late 15th and early 16th century was not full of "old dogma, fears, and myths". The richest regions in Europe (Northern Italy, The Netherlands, Northwestern Germany, Burgundy, etc) were on par with the richest regions in Asia (Hindustan, Yellow river valley, etc). Renowned European philosophers, artists, and inventors from that time (e.g. Geoffrey Chaucer, Nicolaus Copernicus, Francis Bacon, Rene Descartes, etc) were not inferior to their Arab, Chinese, Persian, or Indian counterparts. 3. *What the Europeans could not participate (on large scale) up to that point was the maritime trade in Indian ocean, and that's it.* Just like Chinese and Indian traders could not participate directly (on large scale) in Mediterranean trade. The value of Indian trade was just as large (or larger) than Mediterranean trade, so those with access to both (i.e. the Arabs) naturally have significant advantage over those who don't. However, later on, Atlantic trade and Northern European trade grow rapidly in value (due to the literal mountain of gold and silver in the Americas, the advancement in banking & finance, agricultural revolution, gradual mechanization, etc), allowing countries like the Netherlands, England, and France to catch up quickly.
@@crayonsukrou913 Oh yes Europe was isolated, no European went to China, even the only case of Marco Polo is being proved as just a tale. Europe was extremely poor and full of famines. No one had gonne to the unkown continent called America, except in the 19th century books of tales. Arabs and Asian traders used to say that Europe was so poor that the only product that allowed profit was the European slaves, afterall what the word "slave" means? The Japanese believed that the world was built just by Japan, India and China. Only after the rich spece trade and most of all only after the many tons of gold and silver that came from Brazil and South America, Europe stared to being rich, Only after products as the potatoe and all that came afterwards the famines started to calm down. Unfortunately the last 70 years of nazi and post nazi literarture tried to destroy the exceptional conquests of the Portuguese, well except the best American and English academics those know well how important for the entire world the global expansion was. Of course that Germany dogmas were mighty uberalles, they even won WWII.
@@crayonsukrou913 Italian merchants were trading with Muslims, putting Christian gold in Muslim pockets. The Portuguese feared fighting the Muslims in Hispania for another half millennium, thus the Portuguese expansion was partly for-profit, partly holy war to deprive Muslims of treasure that could be used to harass Christians, especially Portuguese Christians. It was disintermediation by force.
@@binalcensored2104 1. _"no European went to China, even the only case of Marco Polo is being proved as just a tale"_ Nope. This video mentioned *Gaspar Da Gama,* who was born in Germany (or Poland) and travelled all the way to India. He served Gujarati ruler, and then defected to the Portuguese. There were at least like couple dozens of people like him by the end of 15th century. Mostly merchants, but also pilgrims, captives, etc from Europe who travelled to the Holy Land and beyond. Remember that during Dias' expedition to find the Cape of Good Hope, the King of Portugal also sent like half dozen agents to travel to India using land route (proving that they know about these land routes). Look, we have records of various merchants and travelers from Europe (mostly from Eastern Roman Empire, not from Western Europe) who visited China, as early as 1000 AD, like a group of Jewish merchants called "Radhanites". Also papal legates Giovanni del Carpine send by the Papacy as an envoy to Mongol Empire in 1245, decades before Marco Polo, and more.. You can Google them. --- 2. _"Europe was extremely poor and full of famines."_ Nope. Think about it, if Europe was so poor, how the princes of Europe can afford Crusade, and keep pouring men and resources to that meatgrinder for centuries? If Europe was so poor, how European towns and cities built all those great cathedrals, which are on par with the glittering temples, mosque, and mausoleums of the East? That being said, Europe was indeed "poor" during the chaotic fall of Roman Empire (~400 AD), up to the beginning of the Viking Age (~800 AD). But by the start of Renaissance Europe was no longer poor. By the start of 16th century, the richest regions in Europe (Northern Italy and Northwestern Europe) were about on par with the richest regions of Asia. --- 3. _"Arabs and Asian traders used to say that Europe was so poor that the only product that allowed profit was the European slaves. Only after the rich spice trade and most of all only after the many tons of gold and silver that came from Brazil and South America, Europe stared to being rich.."_ Lol. Not true. If you look at history, since Bronze Age (~1500 BC), there were certain commodities from Western Europe which were highly prized in the East, things like copper and zinc (which later contributed to the Bronze Age collapse). By 1500, various commodities such as utensils, glass products (both clear and tinted), as well as more common commodities such as olive oil, ointment, herbs and spices (Google "Paprika"), wool, linen, naval supplies (ropes, sails, nails, etc), parchment, paper (introduced to Europe in 1300s), etc were quite popular. Within Europe, commodities like wood, wine, beer & ale, amber, jewelries, furniture, furs, salted pork, machine tools, military equipment, etc were commonly traded. Just think about it, if there were little trade in Europe due to lack of goods or otherwise (and therefore no profit to be made), how come Northern Italy and Northwestern Europe develop such advanced financial tech? Like *modern accounting, central bank, stock exchange, chartered company, modern insurance, etc all invented in Europe.* --- 4. _"Only after products as the potatoe and all that came afterwards the famines started to calm down."_ Potato is very efficient in term of calorie per sq meter, but the notion that Europe was "full of famines" before introduction of potato (in comparison to other regions/countries of the period) is *utter BS.* Google "countries by population in 1500", you'll find many European countries in the top 20, with Holy Roman Empire in 3rd place, and France 4th place. Think about it, Kingdom of France actually had larger population (16M) than the mighty Ottoman Empire (14M), and the population of Spain (9M) was almost twice that of Mamluk Egypt (5.5M). FYI Ottoman Empire control most of Mesopotamia (so-called "the fertile crescent" along Euphrates), while Mamluk Egypt ofc control Nile Delta (said to be one of the most fertile region on Earth). So, nope, fact is, Europe is fertile and very productive, especially Southern England and the Netherlands, which later lead the so-called "Agriculture Revolution" in 17th century.
@@roddeazevedo Well, you're not wrong. But FYI European leading powers were, by that time, already stronger than most Muslim states. For example, the population of the Holy Roman Empire (23M) and Kingdom of France (16M) was larger than that of Ottoman Empire (14M) and Mamluk Sultanate (5M).
Wow, I know the "main" story about the Almeidas but I had no ideia about the step up that led to it Really incredible the knowledge you put on these videos, it goes well beyond anything on yt Im very impressed by this one, congratulations Can't wait for the second part
I watched one of your older videos, where your delivery was dan carlinesque and then watched this and I think this is better. Its hard to find good indepth history narratives and even better when you dont have dan carlin ADD tangents. thank you, ill be listening to your stuff at night from now on.
Thank you for this amazing work. This is beyond everything I ever seen on youtube or tv. Greetings from Portugal again. Not because ancient portuguese, indians and eastern peoples are involved in the series (although they make everything better) , but for your epic work.
Another great video! Keep up the awesome content! Can't wait for more! Bro! Your history and research is really well done , like I could see it be part of a TV series!
Yeah it’s so unfortunate - Manuel couldn’t appreciate talent. Even Pereira was outcast after basically saving Cochin. What happened to Almeida was a travesty
We have a saying in Portugal, "Portugal é madrasta de filhos seus" / "Portugal is stepmother to it's sons", meaning that at some stage, the country will turn it's back on it's heros
@@carlos-ju7ce That seems to be so true - these men did the impossible and came home to a terrible reception. Cabral, Pereira, even Almeida kept the Portuguese empire alive and yet were ridiculed.
After chaul the Revenge for the death of Lourenço took place at diu ... Francisco in its letter to Malik : quem comeu o frango há-de comer o galo, ou pagá-lo". Francisco not only sent a letter warning of its arrival and revenge as also he claimed for Malik to be prepared. What a huge set of balls
This battle that Will follow at diu was consider to be a world history changer. The loss of the mameluc , otoman fleet aliance shaped the history of the european empires for the next 500 years. The rising of the otoman was stoped at diu and cleared the way for european dominance until the deliver of hong Kong and later Macau to china

Surely, there had been contact between Italian merchants and the Golden Horde in the Black Sea before 1498
Agree - this was the part where globalization got a huge jump start. After this, every nation wanted to have a global trade network. Thanks for sharing as well
Oh there was alright - especially in Caffa on the Black Sea in 1346 ;) - take a look at my Black Death video if you get a chance
We must not forget Portugal's huge Sephardic Jewish, New Christisn community, as they played a central role in helping Portugal realize her "Golden Age," Portugal had s monopoly on the global Spice Trade" for over 150 years. Between the 15th until the early part of the 18th century, Portugal was the richest, most powerful nation on earth, and her language and culture was present in 5 continents. As such, Portuguese is still spoken officially on 5 continents today. It also is the most spoken language of the Southern Hrmisphere. And it is the most spoken language ìn South America.
Many new Christian's (Jews who were forcibly converted to Christisnity) comprised Portugal's Intelligentia (physicians, astronomers, merchants, cartographers, bankers, lawyers, scientists, financiers, artisans, expert tradesmen, diplomats, translators, writers, philosophers, traders, inventors, mathematicians,
Professors, oceanographers, 9map makers, etc., etc.
Plz continue with this awesome series there still so much to tell there is more 70 years of great victorys and interessing historys you still have to go fro the west indies campaigns and the chinese pirates chapter and the african feitorias its so exciting to finally have a series about this you sir have the thanks of portugal 🇵🇹
In 2 months i´m finishing my master's degree in History,...and this is inspiring . Thank You soo Much! Just shared with everyone!
Hey congrats - thats impressive!! What's your area of focus?
@@FlashPointHx Thanks.....Guess what? -Specialization in Modern History and Discoveries !_
For many years these themes were never properly addressed, mainly as events that changed the course of world history, nor were they presented with due graphics. Now we can say that you were pioneers. Thank you so much again.
@@hugorefachinho Ha! Well you're in the right place then =)
Fun fact: Dom Lourenço de Almeida was indeed nicknamed the «Blonde Devil» during his military career.
Could you please share your source for this nickname? Thanks in advance.
This info is somewhere in the video
@@cg8397 "E foi assim que aconteceu o desastre de Chaul, que custou a vida provavelmente a 140 homens, inclusive a do capitão-mor Lourenço de Almeida, filho do então vice-rei da Índia, Francisco de Almeida, como se refere em obra recente. O «diabo louro», como Lourenço era conhecido, era um jovem cavaleiro, pouco mais de vinte anos de vigor físico, inexperiência naval, ingenuidade e imensa coragem pessoal. Com os seus quase dois metros de altura, que o tornavam um dos homens mais corpulentos do reino, era acima de tudo um cavaleiro da estirpe medieval, que hesitou em fechar os ouvidos aos seus fidalgos e em seguir os conselhos do condestável de artilharia, o alemão Arnau, de colocar a pique a armada inimiga com bombardeamento intenso."
- Jorge Nascimento Rodrigues & Tessaleno Devezas, "Portugal: o pioneiro da globalização: a herança das descobertas", Centro Atlantico, 2009.
Either way, my man had such luscious hair, he looks like a Barbie doll with a beard.
Класс, теперь послушаем и про Алмейду👍👍
Let me know what you think =)
Ура, новая серия!
Yes sir! Enjoy!
Amazing !!! Can’t wait for next episode…
Hey thanks!! - Work on part 2 is already underway
Love your content guys! Thanks For this ❤❤❤❤❤
Hey Daniel ! good to see you here!
@@FlashPointHxAlways
Great work, I learned much and was hooked from start to finish!
Glad you enjoyed it!
The second part is going to be terrible! Hollywood should make a movie about this story. It has everything, adventure, an achievement considered one of the most important, the love of a father and the terrible revenge for the death of his son. In addition to sending a letter to the enemy saying that he was arriving and that he was getting ready. "You ate the chicken, now you're going to have to eat the rooster."
Thank you very much for the videos you are producing. I'm waiting and looking forward to the second part.
Good luck/🇵🇹
You nailed it !
You just spoiled the sad part!
Edit: I was just joking. It's pretty easy to come to the conclusion that Almeida Jr. dies at the end.
The Bravado, the gumption to take on such a grandiose plan beggars belief. But here we witness King Manuel’s grand global strategy using the latest technology of the age as a pioneer of taking real endeavours and challenges that inspires future trail blazers
@@ConstantineJoseph Manuel got lucky - he had men that could accomplish near impossible tasks. His biggest fault is that he never gave his men the recognition that hey truly deserved - Gama, Periera, Almeida, and even Albuquerque would all fall out of favor.
Bro ive never seen a channel with everything ive wanted in history, depiciting battles and indepth descriptions you deserve to take off
Thank you for putting these great videos at our disposal for free!
Any time!
Damn it! How was this 26 minutes!? When it was about to start...it ended xD xD
These videos and storytelling are just addictive! Nice work once again @FlashPointHx ! But pleeeasse... can you release part 2 still this weekend! I think I can't wait more than that! xD
Waiting for part two to be like:
"you didn't have a proper burial, not a candle nor a torch lighten for you.... Today, here, I light a city for you, my son"
Pappa Almeida was going to bring down the thunder for sure - I've just started on part 2 - keep in mind, I'm a one person show so I create them as fast as I can =)
@@FlashPointHx I know you're a 1-man-army. You already do a lot by yourself. We'll wait patiently;)
Uau, great cliffhanger! Thanks and thanks again!
A true war lord
keep doing videos about Portugal, I am loving it!
@@leandrosousa9466 next one coming out Monday
I love this series, always waiting for new episode. Great job!
Thank you so much Jen !
Long live Manuel the Great!
He definitely had a vision
@@FlashPointHx Even recent movies are using palaces and Portuguese monuments built in Manueline style. The Manueline style architecture was built based on king Dom Manuel instructions. This recent movie called Damsel 2024 was filmed in the Mosteiro dos Jeronimos e Convento de Cristo, who had astonishing beautiful architecture based on the Discoveries Age. Independent of one likes the movie or not, the true is that the historical real scenarios are something to admire.
He'll yes!!! What a perfect surprise for Friday! These are the best!!!
Enjoy my friend !
This is fantastic! You keep upping your game
Hey appreciate it! What’s your next video going to be about?
@@FlashPointHx Next one is Pope Sylvester II!
@@Empire-Builders I did a podcast on him! He tried to bring Arabic numerals to Western Europe and they thought he was a warlock
@@FlashPointHx Yes! Such a fascinating black legend, life, character, and era. Will be sure to check your episode out
The Battle of Diu in 1509 marked a shift in power and the beginning of the dominance of Europeans, first the Portuguese, then the Dutch and then the French and the British, over the world seas.
The number of books on military history such as ‘50 Battles That Changed the World’ by William Weir, ‘Moment of Battle: The Twenty Clashes That Changed the World’ by James Lacey, ‘The Fifteen Decisive Battles of the World: From Marathon to Waterloo’ by Edward Creasey among others, all agree that the Battle of Diu changed the course of world history. It is as important as the battles of Waterloo and Trafalgar!
Surprisingly, such an important battle has been forgotten in India and even in Europe!
With the Battle of Diu, the Arab World Fell,
the Mediterranean World Fell,
the Medieval World Fell, the old Poor, Closed Europe World Fell!
The Old Theoric Dogmas Fell! The Old Little World Fell!
For the First Time a New Planet Born, a Planet called Earth, where all the globe knew their own planet, new cultures, histories, peoples and new civilizations.
From a continent full of fears, myths, famines and uncertainties born a new modern. advanced and powerful continent, that would lead the world until nowadays, a continent called Europe!
1. Europe was not as isolated as you think. Merchants from Genoa and Venice setup various trading posts in faraway land, such as in Istanbul, Alexandria, Jaffa, Crimea, etc. They have diplomatic relation/contact with the Ottoman Empire, Golden Horde, Persia, Delhi Sultanate, and even Ming Dynasty.
And not just the Italians, but the English, the Dutch, and the Germans too. They have trading posts in Scandinavia, Northern Russia, Kazan, Volga region, all the way to Caspian sea and Persia.
2. Europe by late 15th and early 16th century was not full of "old dogma, fears, and myths". The richest regions in Europe (Northern Italy, The Netherlands, Northwestern Germany, Burgundy, etc) were on par with the richest regions in Asia (Hindustan, Yellow river valley, etc). Renowned European philosophers, artists, and inventors from that time (e.g. Geoffrey Chaucer, Nicolaus Copernicus, Francis Bacon, Rene Descartes, etc) were not inferior to their Arab, Chinese, Persian, or Indian counterparts.
3. *What the Europeans could not participate (on large scale) up to that point was the maritime trade in Indian ocean, and that's it.*
Just like Chinese and Indian traders could not participate directly (on large scale) in Mediterranean trade. The value of Indian trade was just as large (or larger) than Mediterranean trade, so those with access to both (i.e. the Arabs) naturally have significant advantage over those who don't.
However, later on, Atlantic trade and Northern European trade grow rapidly in value (due to the literal mountain of gold and silver in the Americas, the advancement in banking & finance, agricultural revolution, gradual mechanization, etc), allowing countries like the Netherlands, England, and France to catch up quickly.
@@crayonsukrou913 Oh yes Europe was isolated, no European went to China, even the only case of Marco Polo is being proved as just a tale. Europe was extremely poor and full of famines. No one had gonne to the unkown continent called America, except in the 19th century books of tales. Arabs and Asian traders used to say that Europe was so poor that the only product that allowed profit was the European slaves, afterall what the word "slave" means? The Japanese believed that the world was built just by Japan, India and China. Only after the rich spece trade and most of all only after the many tons of gold and silver that came from Brazil and South America, Europe stared to being rich, Only after products as the potatoe and all that came afterwards the famines started to calm down. Unfortunately the last 70 years of nazi and post nazi literarture tried to destroy the exceptional conquests of the Portuguese, well except the best American and English academics those know well how important for the entire world the global expansion was. Of course that Germany dogmas were mighty uberalles, they even won WWII.
@@crayonsukrou913 Italian merchants were trading with Muslims, putting Christian gold in Muslim pockets. The Portuguese feared fighting the Muslims in Hispania for another half millennium, thus the Portuguese expansion was partly for-profit, partly holy war to deprive Muslims of treasure that could be used to harass Christians, especially Portuguese Christians. It was disintermediation by force.
@@binalcensored2104 1. _"no European went to China, even the only case of Marco Polo is being proved as just a tale"_
Nope. This video mentioned *Gaspar Da Gama,* who was born in Germany (or Poland) and travelled all the way to India. He served Gujarati ruler, and then defected to the Portuguese. There were at least like couple dozens of people like him by the end of 15th century. Mostly merchants, but also pilgrims, captives, etc from Europe who travelled to the Holy Land and beyond. Remember that during Dias' expedition to find the Cape of Good Hope, the King of Portugal also sent like half dozen agents to travel to India using land route (proving that they know about these land routes).
Look, we have records of various merchants and travelers from Europe (mostly from Eastern Roman Empire, not from Western Europe) who visited China, as early as 1000 AD, like a group of Jewish merchants called "Radhanites". Also papal legates Giovanni del Carpine send by the Papacy as an envoy to Mongol Empire in 1245, decades before Marco Polo, and more.. You can Google them.
---
2. _"Europe was extremely poor and full of famines."_
Nope. Think about it, if Europe was so poor, how the princes of Europe can afford Crusade, and keep pouring men and resources to that meatgrinder for centuries?
If Europe was so poor, how European towns and cities built all those great cathedrals, which are on par with the glittering temples, mosque, and mausoleums of the East?
That being said, Europe was indeed "poor" during the chaotic fall of Roman Empire (~400 AD), up to the beginning of the Viking Age (~800 AD). But by the start of Renaissance Europe was no longer poor. By the start of 16th century, the richest regions in Europe (Northern Italy and Northwestern Europe) were about on par with the richest regions of Asia.
---
3. _"Arabs and Asian traders used to say that Europe was so poor that the only product that allowed profit was the European slaves. Only after the rich spice trade and most of all only after the many tons of gold and silver that came from Brazil and South America, Europe stared to being rich.."_
Lol. Not true.
If you look at history, since Bronze Age (~1500 BC), there were certain commodities from Western Europe which were highly prized in the East, things like copper and zinc (which later contributed to the Bronze Age collapse).
By 1500, various commodities such as utensils, glass products (both clear and tinted), as well as more common commodities such as olive oil, ointment, herbs and spices (Google "Paprika"), wool, linen, naval supplies (ropes, sails, nails, etc), parchment, paper (introduced to Europe in 1300s), etc were quite popular.
Within Europe, commodities like wood, wine, beer & ale, amber, jewelries, furniture, furs, salted pork, machine tools, military equipment, etc were commonly traded.
Just think about it, if there were little trade in Europe due to lack of goods or otherwise (and therefore no profit to be made), how come Northern Italy and Northwestern Europe develop such advanced financial tech? Like *modern accounting, central bank, stock exchange, chartered company, modern insurance, etc all invented in Europe.*
---
4. _"Only after products as the potatoe and all that came afterwards the famines started to calm down."_
Potato is very efficient in term of calorie per sq meter, but the notion that Europe was "full of famines" before introduction of potato (in comparison to other regions/countries of the period) is *utter BS.*
Google "countries by population in 1500", you'll find many European countries in the top 20, with Holy Roman Empire in 3rd place, and France 4th place. Think about it, Kingdom of France actually had larger population (16M) than the mighty Ottoman Empire (14M), and the population of Spain (9M) was almost twice that of Mamluk Egypt (5.5M).
FYI Ottoman Empire control most of Mesopotamia (so-called "the fertile crescent" along Euphrates), while Mamluk Egypt ofc control Nile Delta (said to be one of the most fertile region on Earth). So, nope, fact is, Europe is fertile and very productive, especially Southern England and the Netherlands, which later lead the so-called "Agriculture Revolution" in 17th century.
@@roddeazevedo Well, you're not wrong. But FYI European leading powers were, by that time, already stronger than most Muslim states. For example, the population of the Holy Roman Empire (23M) and Kingdom of France (16M) was larger than that of Ottoman Empire (14M) and Mamluk Sultanate (5M).

Thanks!
I watched one of your older videos, where your delivery was dan carlinesque and then watched this and I think this is better. Its hard to find good indepth history narratives and even better when you dont have dan carlin ADD tangents. thank you, ill be listening to your stuff at night from now on.
Everyone needs to start somewhere - this whole podcast started as a dare from a friend who introduced me to Dan Carlin.
@@FlashPointHx I agree, wasnt trying to insult you, I like your new style best though.
Amazing! Can't wait for part 2.
Damn! I had the popcorn all ready!!! Why did the video have to end there!! Cliff hanger much..
hahaha - I thought it was a good spot to stop - the next part will be about the Battle of Chaul
Thanks!

Many thanks angel !!
Thank you for this amazing work. This is beyond everything I ever seen on youtube or tv. Greetings from Portugal again. Not because ancient portuguese, indians and eastern peoples are involved in the series (although they make everything better) , but for your epic work.
Really appreciate the awesome comment Luso!

I'm hoping Netflix picks this up =)
Political intrigue bringing down an effective commander with an impressive win streak? Gotta keep those Roman traditions alive I guess.
Yeah it’s so unfortunate - Manuel couldn’t appreciate talent. Even Pereira was outcast after basically saving Cochin. What happened to Almeida was a travesty
We have a saying in Portugal, "Portugal é madrasta de filhos seus" / "Portugal is stepmother to it's sons", meaning that at some stage, the country will turn it's back on it's heros
@@carlos-ju7ce That is very unfortunate, Portugal is an amazing country.
@@carlos-ju7ce That seems to be so true - these men did the impossible and came home to a terrible reception. Cabral, Pereira, even Almeida kept the Portuguese empire alive and yet were ridiculed.
@@carlos-ju7ce That is why we have to be better and better!
Man, you are getting better and better! I dont know your name, but you better start to use the title of Dom before the name!
I'll try including that in for the next video =)
@@FlashPointHxI think you missed interpret the @MrJovision compliment he was telling that YOU should use the title Dom.
@@Orionte9 Yes, Dom "Flash de Point". I dont really care about the old dons, they are called Dom for a long time!
this is really good stuff!
Thank you Bob!
After chaul the Revenge for the death of Lourenço took place at diu ... Francisco in its letter to Malik : quem comeu o frango há-de comer o galo, ou pagá-lo".
Francisco not only sent a letter warning of its arrival and revenge as also he claimed for Malik to be prepared. What a huge set of balls
warning your enemy that you're coming and you're bringing the thunder down with you - boss level
This battle that Will follow at diu was consider to be a world history changer. The loss of the mameluc , otoman fleet aliance shaped the history of the european empires for the next 500 years. The rising of the otoman was stoped at diu and cleared the way for european dominance until the deliver of hong Kong and later Macau to china
So reverse Inigo Montoya?
"Hello. My name is Francisco de Almeida. You killed my son. Prepare to DIE!"
