Excellent video. Just a point I hadn't seen mentioned in the comments, one of the major motivations for Portuguese exploration was to continue the Crusade against Muslims and find the legendary Prester John who would aid them in their fight against the Moors. As expressed in Vasco Da Gama's famous response to the question of what the Portuguese were in India for; " Christians and spices".
You do understand that was a propaganda document... You always have to put these things in context. The "Prester John" claim is laughable, the crusading motivation is something to consider. Nonetheless the main motivation was commercial.
@@pikeshotBattles Thanks for responding! The reason I shared that point on Prester John and crusading is because it is cited in numerous history books I've read on the matter, not my own judgement. In fact, the reason I was watching your videos is because I'm in the middle of a reading binge on the subject! Here are my references; "The Portuguese were looking to establish an anti-Muslim alliance with Prester John, a mythical Christian King who according to medieval legend was living among the Heathens"- pg 40, The Portuguese, A Modern History, by Barry Hatton "From a mixture of motives, he(Prince Henry) turned his countrymen southwards... Perhaps too, there was a possibilty of finding an ally here to take the Ottomans in the flank, the legendary Prester John. Certainly there were converts , glory and land to be won for the Cross"- pg 521, The Penguin History of the World "On his(John II) accession he embarked on an intense five-year period of state-funded exploration in which he hoped to fulfill two objectives; find a route to the Indies and reach the fabled Kingdom of Prester John"- pg 18, Conquerors, How Portugal Forged the First Global Empire. In fact, this book mentions Prester John as a motivation numerous times from different sources. Fitting because it is specifically a history of the first journeys to India and not a summary. Henry the Navigator was a member of the Knights Templar and then the Military Order of Christ, reputedly going to grave as a virgin due to his piety. The Portuguese identity was very much linked to the successful Reconquista, and the catalyst for the exploration boom was the attack on Ceuta which was a direct continuation of the Moorish war. So it seems to me that the Portuguese venture did have a strong faith-based motive, at least relative to Spain and certainly compared to the English and the Dutch whose motivation was purely commercial.

I use these to inspire me to play EU4. It does a good job of representing geography's role in empire building. But these would also make great teaching material.
I cant believe the influence such a small country had.....I wish Portugal was alot larger and more populated with the Portuguese...I think they could have accomplished much more.
what influence🤡? It was Spain who started the Age of Discoveries, discovered America, opened up the trade routes, built Universities in their Viceroyalties. Portugal *killed* every native or black person wherever they set foot - lucky ones were sold as Slaves via the Slave Trade they strated in 1444
No ways geez married a portuguese lady extremely sexy and I thought she knew all about sailing and maps unfortunately didn't go to plan so got a canoe and 2sets of paddles for the pool 😂

@@br3menPT the Portuguese started the trans atlantic slave trade raiding villages off the african coast and benefited financially from those acts you 🤡. The school system in portugal makes up it's own fake history as you seem set to spread it on the web. it's no small wonder you are the poorest and backward country today in western europe 😂😂
@@josingh6206 No they didn´t need to raid anything...they bought slaves in exchange for horses....1 horse was worth 30slaves It was the africans who decided the price...Educate yourself!!!! You´re pathetic 🤣Clearly you know shit about History you 🤡
The portuguese traded the slaves, but the slavery itself, were the African tribes that "created".. After all, slavery is as old as human history, from, at least, the Egyptian times.. Still, trading slaves was as bad as "creating" them, so...
There shouldn't be an omission of the kidnapping and human-trafficking at the fortresses and ports established by the Portuguese off the coast of Sub-Saharan Africa. With regards to the facts, trades in India were considered economically feasible and tilted in favor of the Portuguese. The resourcing that was of free labor is attributed to Sub-Saharan Africans who became the unofficial forms of human capital begotten by these seafaring merchants throughout the years of transacting in unjust ways; namely, those which involved bribery and extortion.
I love how they started off referencing Columbus discovering America. Like the Vikings were not here 300 years prior? And there's even evidence the Phoenicians back from the bronze age made it here. There's evidence of them making it to the Sargasso Sea. (And the copper in their bronze weapons only match the Great lakes.)
These days the Portuguese Armada may be of little consequence, but it still covers the world's 10th largest economic exclusive zone. The Portuguese Armada was created over 700 years ago, in 1317 (funnily enough with a Genovese Admiral as they were the best sailors at the time). This makes the Armada the world’s oldest continually serving navy. They had specialised ships, weaponry and tactics at the time, not yet relying on their Marines, which were first formed in 1618, during the dustup with the Dutch. When you look at it like this, anyone at the time that Vasco da Gama sailed out to give someone a bloody nose would have gotten one. Incidentally in the late 50s, most of the Portuguese Armada was converted from the blue water navy to a brown water force as the country fought a debilitating 13 year war across various countries in Africa. These conflicts were overshadowed by the Vietnam War, so most people wouldn't have heard of them. John. P. Cann, Research Fellow and retired Professor of National Security Studies at Marine Corps University wrote a series of books and Brown Waters of Africa, covers this topic
So, basically...everyone wanted to do direct business with kingdoms in India.... That's amazing... Hope India's economic glory will not be a history...
Feitoria does not translate to factory! Fabrica translates to factory!... Although I am a very experienced interpreter and I struggle with it! 😂 , I think it comes from the word feito which means something that has been done, or a deed, so I think a feitoria is a place where you get things done, like a supply/logistics hub with an administration component, paperwork, licences etc. 🏫
The most important power of one country in history is confirmed without any doubt, by how many people in all planet Earth speak that language nowadays. So we need to check what languages are most spoken in the world and the answer won`t be given in fake manipulated explanations, achieved thanks to paid propaganda in pop media channels or fanatic tv channels! With approximately 215 to 220 million native speakers and 50 million L2 speakers, Portuguese has approximately 270 million total speakers. It is listed as the sixth in the World and the third European in terms of native speakers.

0:30 uhh, wait.. first, (1/3) the north of today's *Portugal* was granted with his own domain separated from the kingdom of *Asturias* , the reconquest in that part was made by the kingdoms of *Asturias* and *León* , then the kingdom of Portugal was created in the "granted" territories by those two. So hold on when talking about the reconquista because of that, (2/3) because of the fact that the hardcore of *Al-Andalus* was in the territories reconquered by Castile, León and Aragon, and (3/3) because the reconquest of the territories south of the recently created kingdom of *Portugal* was made by Portugal with the active help of *León* and *Castile* .
@@jacintovski you still what? I men that the way he present that fact is kind of misleading, as the well as the later assertion of portugal being the first global empire.
@@jacintovski the fact of the end of the reconquista in Portugal is not "goddam" as you said, because it is not that clear when it's compare to Spain, as I explain above. And to control (on that date) few key ports thus trade routes in the Indian Ocean is not being an empire, imho.
The Dutch probably and also various banking interests and so-called conversos because they controlled the retail part of colonial goods from the very beginning. Iberians didn't really have a commercial knack, and that was where most of the profits were made.
@@pikeshotBattles In the first half I believe Portugal, the Dutch only rise when Portugal expels the Sephardic Jews, so King Dom Manuel the first can marry a Spanish princess, a costly mistake for Portugal as this decision had an immediate effect on the economy and later would result in the Spanish King having a claim on Portuguese throne.
@@JoseFerreira-ms9xi Yes, the worst mistake of our History, expelling the Jews ( and killing them). With that move, we lost our power and with time, everything...
In Goa the Portuguese ended the Hindu practice of sati, the burning to death of a widow on her husband's funeral pyre. Indeed, the practice is outlawed and illegal in today's India, yet it occurs up to the present day and is still regarded by some Hindus as the ultimate form of womanly devotion and sacrifice. The Hindu women of Goa did not enjoy equal status with men. They were denied a number of rights such as those of education, inheritance, choice of their life partners, and so on. The lack of education kept the women in ignorance and they were exploited by the male dominated society. They were married off before they attained puberty. If a woman’s husband died while she was still young, she was not permitted to marry a second time but was forced to immolate herself on her husband’s funeral pyre. It was a fact that when the relatives knew that the victim would desist from undergoing sati, they generally threw her into the blazing flames, adding wood, oil and butter. But occasionally, she would jump out from the pyre before the fire could engulf her. To avoid any such incidence, the Hindu pundits made circular pits into which the widow was made to jump while the fire burnt high. If she refused to jump into the pyre or jumped out of it, she was considered unfaithful to her husband and was looked down upon by the society as a symbol of disgrace and humiliation. The satis were remembered by erecting sati-stones and placing lighted lamps where they committed sati. It is difficult to imagine the plight of the innocent child widows. It only reminds us of the stranglehold of religion on the Indian society. The Europeans were appalled by the abomination and took stern action against the custom. But the Hindu pandits deliberately dubbed them as anti-Indians and whipped up an anti-European hysteria in the country. It was Afonso de Albuquerque who banned sati in the Island of Goa as early as 1510. It is difficult to imagine the plight of the innocent child widows. It only reminds us of the stranglehold of religion on the Indian society. The Europeans were appalled by the abomination and took stern action against the custom. But the Hindu pandits deliberately dubbed them as anti-Indians and whipped up an anti-European hysteria in the country.
@@gokultr1290 centuries after the portuguese had taught some european human values to society, off course they became more educated demanding more respect.

@@buteos8632 no sir, human values are always better in india than europe. those times india was rich in culture and education. you must read bhagvatgita.
@@gokultr1290 My wife is a hindu, so even though I haven't read the Bhagavad Gita, the "divine song" or the words of Krishna to Prince Arjun regarding the eternal rule/dharma of life, the good against evil and the necessity to take up arms against evil, even if it takes one to fight his own family, I am aware of it's philosophical lessons and my wife has narrated to me some passages, very similar to european culture in fact, not surprisingly! The events relate to the Mahabharata battle of succession and are believed to have happened around 1500BC and was partially written around 500BC, so...those days were long gone and 3000 years later the portuguese outlawed the burning of widows in Goa and other provinces.

@Justin Case Portugal did not make the first circumnavigation of the Globe, it was a Spanish expedition, financed by the King of Spain, being led in the end by a Spaniard. At the time, Portugal just wanted that expedition to fail. In fact, Portugal never circumnavigated the Globe, not even after Elcano.
@@theangel3232 Magellan and his servant were the 2, primary persons to circumnavigated the Globe. Magellan had already been in the area where he eventually end up dying and his slave was from that area. Magellan was Portuguese and his slave was from nowadays Philippines (I think)

No, generally very good relationships! Goa, on west coast of India, has areas known as Little Portugal, and is home to numerous Indo-Portuguese communities. The Portuguese legacy remains in Goa also through influence in food, language and religion, with 25% of the population being Catholic.

I cant believe the influence such a small country had.....I wish Portugal was alot larger and more populated with the Portuguese...I think they could have accomplished much more.
what influence🤡? It was Spain who started the Age of Discoveries, discovered America, opened up the trade routes, built Universities in their Viceroyalties. Portugal *killed* every native or black person wherever they set foot - lucky ones were sold as Slaves via the Slave Trade they strated in 1444
Yes..how true!!!

The portuguese traded the slaves, but the slavery itself, were the African tribes that "created"..
After all, slavery is as old as human history, from, at least, the Egyptian times..
Still, trading slaves was as bad as "creating" them, so...
The slaves were literally bought from their own tribes. Portuguese didn't kidnap them, it was the africans that sold their people
thank you
A very good and concise summary, devoid of unnecessary details.
Must have been a shocker for them to realize how big and stretched Africa was.
Portuguese here. It looks like the Americans and the British learned something from us on how to open markets 😆
There shouldn't be an omission of the kidnapping and human-trafficking at the fortresses and ports established by the Portuguese off the coast of Sub-Saharan Africa. With regards to the facts, trades in India were considered economically feasible and tilted in favor of the Portuguese. The resourcing that was of free labor is attributed to Sub-Saharan Africans who became the unofficial forms of human capital begotten by these seafaring merchants throughout the years of transacting in unjust ways; namely, those which involved bribery and extortion.
Who started the slavery??? Yeah, Africans... They were the 1st ones to capture their own people to sell them...

These days the Portuguese Armada may be of little consequence, but it still covers the world's 10th largest economic exclusive zone.
The Portuguese Armada was created over 700 years ago, in 1317 (funnily enough with a Genovese Admiral as they were the best sailors at the time). This makes the Armada the world’s oldest continually serving navy. They had specialised ships, weaponry and tactics at the time, not yet relying on their Marines, which were first formed in 1618, during the dustup with the Dutch.
When you look at it like this, anyone at the time that Vasco da Gama sailed out to give someone a bloody nose would have gotten one.
Incidentally in the late 50s, most of the Portuguese Armada was converted from the blue water navy to a brown water force as the country fought a debilitating 13 year war across various countries in Africa. These conflicts were overshadowed by the Vietnam War, so most people wouldn't have heard of them. John. P. Cann, Research Fellow and retired Professor of National Security Studies at Marine Corps University wrote a series of books and Brown Waters of Africa, covers this topic
So, basically...everyone wanted to do direct business with kingdoms in India....
That's amazing...
Hope India's economic glory will not be a history...

Feitoria does not translate to factory! Fabrica translates to factory!... Although I am a very experienced interpreter and I struggle with it! 😂 , I think it comes from the word feito which means something that has been done, or a deed, so I think a feitoria is a place where you get things done, like a supply/logistics hub with an administration component, paperwork, licences etc. 🏫
The most important power of one country in history is confirmed without any doubt, by how many people in all planet Earth speak that language nowadays. So we need to check what languages are most spoken in the world and the answer won`t be given in fake manipulated explanations, achieved thanks to paid propaganda in pop media channels or fanatic tv channels! With approximately 215 to 220 million native speakers and 50 million L2 speakers, Portuguese has approximately 270 million total speakers. It is listed as the sixth in the World and the third European in terms of native speakers.

0:30 uhh, wait.. first, (1/3) the north of today's *Portugal* was granted with his own domain separated from the kingdom of *Asturias* , the reconquest in that part was made by the kingdoms of *Asturias* and *León* , then the kingdom of Portugal was created in the "granted" territories by those two. So hold on when talking about the reconquista because of that, (2/3) because of the fact that the hardcore of *Al-Andalus* was in the territories reconquered by Castile, León and Aragon, and (3/3) because the reconquest of the territories south of the recently created kingdom of *Portugal* was made by Portugal with the active help of *León* and *Castile* .

Who do you think was making more money from their discoveries during the 16th century? Spain or Portugal?
The Dutch probably and also various banking interests and so-called conversos because they controlled the retail part of colonial goods from the very beginning. Iberians didn't really have a commercial knack, and that was where most of the profits were made.

In Goa the Portuguese ended the Hindu practice of sati, the burning to death of a widow on her husband's funeral pyre. Indeed, the practice is outlawed and illegal in today's India, yet it occurs up to the present day and is still regarded by some Hindus as the ultimate form of womanly devotion and sacrifice.
The Hindu women of Goa did not enjoy equal status with men. They were denied a number of rights such as those of education, inheritance, choice of their life partners, and so on. The lack of education kept the women in ignorance and they were exploited by the male dominated society. They were married off before they attained puberty.
If a woman’s husband died while she was still young, she was not permitted to marry a second time but was forced to immolate herself on her husband’s funeral pyre.
It was a fact that when the relatives knew that the victim would desist from undergoing sati, they generally threw her into the blazing flames, adding wood, oil and butter. But occasionally, she would jump out from the pyre before the fire could engulf her. To avoid any such incidence, the Hindu pundits made circular pits into which the widow was made to jump while the fire burnt high. If she refused to jump into the pyre or jumped out of it, she was considered unfaithful to her husband and was looked down upon by the society as a symbol of disgrace and humiliation.
The satis were remembered by erecting sati-stones and placing lighted lamps where they committed sati. It is difficult to imagine the plight of the innocent child widows. It only reminds us of the stranglehold of religion on the Indian society. The Europeans were appalled by the abomination and took stern action against the custom. But the Hindu pandits deliberately dubbed them as anti-Indians and whipped up an anti-European hysteria in the country.
It was Afonso de Albuquerque who banned sati in the Island of Goa as early as 1510.

The events relate to the Mahabharata battle of succession and are believed to have happened around 1500BC and was partially written around 500BC, so...those days were long gone and 3000 years later the portuguese outlawed the burning of widows in Goa and other provinces.
