Ottoman series is back, baby! New and improved! Please, consider liking and sharing the video - that will allow more people to see it and will tell us that this series is in demand. :-)
The Portuguese were the first Europeans to visit Ayutthaya (Siam) in the early 1500s. They brought with them some dessert recipes which are still used today, and the Thai word for "bread" is derived from Portuguese. Most notably, though, they brought with them some spicy plants from South America, called chili peppers, which caught on rather well.
entishar they literally colonised the balkans there was massive Turkish minority in many regions but were expelled after the Balkan wars there is still a sizeable amount in Bulgaria and other countries
The forgotten buff in Civilization and other games. *Made with Goat Horn* (portuguese expression to express hardiness and stubborness. "Feito em corno de cabra") : In desperate conditions, portuguese forces grow furious and stubborn to no end. Increase all attack by 25% and all resistances and damage reduction to 50%. Morale immunity, skirmish tactics and hiding come to effect.
There is something known as ethics of war. The Portuguese never cared to follow it. These divided and ruled the kingdoms they colonised! Commiting mass murder and genocide in the kindgom of Calicut is a small example!
The feitorias system and a powerfull navy was cleary the key here. In the case of ship building, Portugal was ahead of on the vanguard, due to it's experience in open sea travels, before Spain and other nations of it's time.
@@JoDoSa Very true. Although the portuguese influence was on the downward trend by mid eighteenth century and Britishers were the real rising power, had it not been for the earthquake of 1755 in Lisbon which completely destroyed the city, Portuguese would still have given the other European powers a run for their money and probably would've had significant footprint in Asia and North America.
they had a decent manpower at their time, what happened is most of them immigrated to the colonies, the vast majority to Brazil. Now we have a population of 200 million (with about 25% portuguese genetical heritage I d say, making it the biggest genetical mark on the country)
I am of Tamil-Portuguese Ancestry. My ancestors fought the Battle of Diu alongside our Portuguese allies. We are a sea faring people and settled predominantly today around the coasts of Tamil Nadu & Sri Lanka.
I admire them too. Years ago as a loudmouth no back-down youngster. I once helped a Portuguese guy get his old jalopy going after he stopped for me hiking on the road. We pulled away in his VW beetle and it stalled and wouldn't start. My oldman was a avid fan of VW Beetles and we owned six through the years. He was a part-time mechanic and taught me well. I just set the points and we were off. About 4 months later I was in a town away from home and picked up shit with 2 bullies but I pounded them both. Walking back to my friends house I saw them in 2 cars in a group of 8 getting out behind me and charging I laid out the first but the 2nd and 3rd bashed me too much and before the others got too close I gapped it across traffic with all these punks chasing me. Then I saw my Portuguese buddy and a friend driving by in the opposite direction with his eyes wide open looking at me. I couldnt stop because the ones chasing me were just like 7-8 m away. But my buddy turned the vw around and they came by shouting at me to get in. I jumped in and we got away but my buddy decided to turn back. As they were getting back in their cars we stopped by them, My buddy said wait here but I didnt. I got out with them and the 3 of us Pounded the CRAP out of 7 of them. 1 managed to get away with my buddy hot on his tail but he still got away. They helped me because I fixed his car with a screwdriver. We are still friends and even the guy who got away, we became friends later. He ended up marrying my sisters friend. A cute chick which I had an interest in but she had none for me. Good because I married a beautiful girl 4 years later with whom I have 4 children. She and I have till today not once argued about anything. I met her at another Portuguese friend of mine's house. She was his chick's best friend. I became an admirer of the Portuguese because many of them are upright no nonsense helpful friendly true friends and I love their history. I just love their amazing alone against the world history.

I'm Brazilian, very connected to the Portuguese, and I have to admit that the Portuguese were very brave to fight with ottoman empire at its peak. Many respects for my irmãos. ✝️🇵🇹
As a Brazilian, everything that I learned in school about the Portuguese Empire was related to Brazil only. It is funny to know that at the same time, they were fighting countless battles and colonizing places all around the world
What's funny is that Brazil wasn't important to the Portuguese until the late 17th century, when they lost the monopoly of the Spice Trade. Only after that, they focused on building up Brazil
Really, what impresses me most is that only 40 men remained able to fight in Diu at the end, yet the Portuguese managed to trick the numerically superior Ottomans to abandon the siege altogether. De Silviera was truly a master of warfare by deceit.

I live in India in a town named VASAI ( called BASSIEN by the Portugese) , my town was also captured by the Portuguese Admiral Nuno Da cuna and we also have Portuguese era Forts and churches in my town. Portuguese ruled in my town for 250 Years until the Marathas liberated it in 18th century.
@@joaomaciel1234 yes I am honoured!! They did many reforms in my town...when ever I visit any European countries ppl are surprised to find an Indian with a Portuguese surname.

It's funny because the response was quite harsh and sassy to the ottomans, I was hoping it would be mentioned but oh well, it might be because of the antisemitism in it
@Ahmet Sakızcı it went a little like this, also pacha was an eunuch appearently, or de Silveira took him for one, hence the answer: "Very honored Captain Pasha, I saw the words in your letter. If the knights who are here in this corral had been in Rhodes you may believe that you would not have taken it. Find out that here Portuguese people are used to killing many Moors and have Captain António da Silveira, who has a pair of tomatoes stronger than the bullets in your cannons and that all Portuguese here have tomatoes and don't fear anyone who doesn't have them!"

Isabel da Veiga, wife to a portuguese officer and Ana Fernandes, wife to the garrison's medical officer both organized and led the remaining women in the fort, fighting in the walls by day, tending to the wounded by nightfall. P.S: Portugal, Caralho.
In the ocean we can say Portugal was the dominant power at this period (doing all of this so fram from home at this period kinda shows it), while Spain was the dominand power at land. Pre 1580 that is, the Iberian Union made the Spanish crown the undisputed super power and by irony the event that would turn Portugal after a second rate power and slowly fade away in history.
@@FaithRox "modern morality", that's like "subjective" or something right? weren't you guys supposed to be the "objective" alphamales calling the others snowflakes and such? buy a mirror
In Brazil we hardly learn about Portugal amazing exploits during the Age of Discovery, save for Cabral's discovery of the Brazilian lands and sometimes Vasco da Gama's voyage. We should learn more about Portugal's rich history!
Lol then you wonder why you have such a skewed view of the country. HIstory is written by the victors. No Brazilian politician would benefit from giving brazilians information that made Portuguese look good or powerful or enterprising..
To be honest, neither we Portuguese know about most of our military prowesses. The victory of Aljubarrota is very well known here , but it's an exception. Portugal's history school program is more politically than militarily oriented
Infelizmente o fim da monarquia brasileira levou a uma tendência política que dura até hoje, ano 2021, e que sempre procurou hostilizar a herança portuguesa através de um nacionalismo muito ativo que levou a uma manipulação do ensino da história. Esta manipulação fez crescer uma completamente contra-natura aversão a Portugal.
Oldest army in action, official since 1139 AD (means state militar forces); at the Lisbon foral by Afonso Henriques in 1179 and confirmed by Afonso II in 1214, at the end of the document there is the clause for naval officers and petintais (gear suppliers, from maritime to land).

Verdade, eu admiro Portugal pela sua ousadia. Os venezianos foram uns mercenários e lembre-se que eles tiveram culpa da queda Constantinopla, apartir da quarta cruzada abrindo espaço para a conquista pelos turcos.
Battle Alqacer Qibir 1578 was a Turkish Portuguese Rivality too. These time in North Africa The Ottomans was there with Yanissaries and Cannons. The Ottomans supported a Side And Portugues supported a Side Portugal lost not only Influence in Morocco, they lost their King and their Independence to Spain for 60 years. Ottomans where the Superior Continental Power and Portugal Maritime Power at these Time. Alfonso de Albuqerque's main goal was to reach Mecca through the Red Sea and exchange the Corpses of the Prophet Mohammed and Mecca for Jerusalem. In Terms of Trade, too, he had aims to bring the spice trade to Portugal via the Mediterranean Sea and North Africa. These goals could no longer be achieved after the emergence of the Ottomans as the successor to the Mameluks. The Priority of the Turks was the Land and the Security of the Red Sea & Aden. The Portuguese put their Priority on the Trading Posts and Fortresses on the High Sea.
Yeah!! Another video about Portuguese history! Thank you kings and generals for this, I know me and my fellow Portuguese always appreciate having our history told. Would love to see more about Portuguese adventures in Ethiopia! Another great battle I'd like to see you guys cover is the siege of Cochin, that battle is one of my favorites in all of history simply because of the characters and just the drama of it all. But still thank you for this video.
We have a story/legend from this siege. It was said that when the part of the wall fell, 5 men jumped to fill the gap and held the line against 300-400 ottoman soldiers. The narrow passage was enough for them to hold the line while being wounded, this ended up giving the rest of the men a morale boost to keep fighting. Another story tells of 2 other artillery soldiers who held part of the wall alone with their spears killing several ottoman soldiers. Fun legends we managed to pull from the writtings of that time.
Good evening. Never heard anyone implying it is just legends, it was against 500 however. Besides, their names are recorded. One of these died, although I can’t recall which one at the moment: - Sebastiam de Sá; - António Pessanha; - Bento Barbosa; - Bartolomeu Corrêa; - Master Joam, surgeon of Diu. Best regards.
“A fortuna do mundo é serem eles tão poucos, porque a Natureza, como aos leões, felizmente os fez raros” Gaspar Correia, “Lendas da Índia” (referindo palavras do inimigo, durante o cerco de Diu, em 1538)
*Fun fact:* The Ottoman’s inability to consistently maintain a large fleet of galleons in the Indian Ocean meant that Admiral Sefer Reis would often counter the larger Portuguese galleons by timing his rowed galley attacks against them so that they would be forced to sail against the wind. Thus separating one galleon from the rest of the fleet and defeating them in detail. Often his strategy would prove incredibly effective due to his ability to hug the coastline and evade the open sea.
Вхламинго Whilst you are correct that the more heavily armed galleons were far more durable in open sea, the idea that galleys were no match for them at all is a common myth. Contrastingly, the tactics employed by galley captains adjusted accordingly to deal with them. The strategy of Admiral Sefer Reis in the Indian Ocean during the 16th century is a testament to this. Would recommend reading The Ottoman Age of Exploration by Giancarlo Casale. Specifically page 112 where he elucidates upon this further.
@Вхламинго It is true that overall, large sailing ships proved more effective and durable in the long run, however Ottoman galleys definitely weren't powerless against Venetian galleons during the 16th century, and vice versa. The result of such engagements often varied depending on the amount of ships of either side, distance from the shore, wind strength and direction, and most importantly, the skill of each admiral to take advantage of these factors.
Вхламинго Not true. Countries with long and shallow coastlines used updated versions of galleys as late as the 18th century as far away as the Baltics.
@@PatManGP well, and what your ancestors have done? Humans everywhere and EVERY RACE did bad things to each other and to others, it doesn't mean that there are no good achievements in history
El Imperio portugués sobre todo defendía factorías y puertos para efectuar la compra de especies y la trata de esclavos. No colonizaron ni exploraron grandes territorios en sus viajes. Excepto Brasil la costa y Angola y Mozambique capturando y comprando negros para llevar a América o venderlos a los ingleses y holandeses mayoritariamente.
Great video. This is an area of history I know little about. I generally knew that the Portuguese had altered the trade routes of Asia away from the Arab world, and that it was a major reason for the long decline of the Ottoman Empire. This also caused a major shift in wealth to Europe. However, I have no idea of the people involved, the battles, and the process by which it was done. It is fascinating. I look forward to more.
I didn't knew that Ottomans ever fought on India soil , against Portuguese. Whether one hate or love Portuguese , they are stylish hell warrior fighters
@Den k Then again, seems India struggled a lot during english domain. It is said just during WW2, tens of thousands of indians died because britain demanded forced labour to produce enough cotton and rice for the british gear and rations.
The 24 Portuguese ships that sent the Ottomans into a hasty retreat happened to be there by a happy accident. A storm had blown one Ottoman ship of course and it ended up at the port of Honnavar, where the Portuguese had a factory, and was promptly captured. After dispatching a messenger to Goa, the commander of the Portuguese fleet in Honnavar left for Diu without waiting for orders from Goa. This was the fleet the Ottomans mistook to be the main fleet from Goa.
Great video! I was actually expecting the 1509 battle when I saw Diu in the title. Due to the events that led to the battle, the battle itself and the repercusions in the geopolitics of the time after the battle I believe it's a much more interesting and important one in History knowledge. Also Afonso de Albuquerque deserves it's own video. The things he did were just wild and wicked!
Damn, never was there a word mentioned regarding the Ottomans in any of my Indian school history books ! All thanks to you guys for bringing this content to us (even when India doesn't provide you with much viewership currently)
@@Abhishek-sr2pu We are not taught about our own great empires like Srivijaya, Satvanah, Kalinga, Shungha, Chola, Sinhala, Pandya empires who were not only rulers of Indian subcontinent but also out of Indian subcontinent, Our history books are only contains information about how invaders invade us and how we got independence from British, that's all

Does anyone actually even say Cambay anymore? I've only ever heard it as Khambhat. But it feels bad when people say "Broach" instead of "Bhrigukachchha" or "Seringapatam"instead of "Srirangapatnam"
@@tentathesane8032 They do. People who are not as well informed about the vernacular or indigenous names use anglicised names. Like the Ganges instead of Ganga, etc.
the secret of Portugal's success in the Ottoman confrontation was already having closed-back firearms. These cannons were very powerful. They fired five shots and with another kilometer longer in distance (one detail - 300 years later the Battle of Waterloo still used front loading cannons)
nowadays Portugal may be small but in those days Portugal was the strongest nation in the world and the maritime empire raged around Portugal only weakened because the king died and screwed with everything because he had no children afterwards Portugal came to belong to Spain and like the spur Portugal was always at war Portugal became poor Portugal was once again a strong nation after the discovery of gold in Brazil but it was never the same
A recommendation: Please don't occupy the subtitles space to show movements of battles, it can be annoying for those who don't know english as much as others. Thanks! And long live K&G!
This was the response letter to Pasha's letter proposing the surrender: "I have seen the words in your letter, and that of the captain which you have imprisoned through lie and betrayal of your word, signed under your name; which you have done because you are no man, for you have no balls, you are like a lying woman and a fool. How do you intend to pact with me, if you committed betrayal and falsity right before my eyes?... Be assured that here are Portuguese accustomed to killing many moors, and they have as captain António da Silveira, who has a pair of balls stronger than the cannonballs of your basilisks, that there's no reason to fear someone who has no balls, no honor and lies..."

@Naruto six path yeah man I believe that but you should see too that many ones on the Europe tried to envade Portugal always outnumbered we always kicked them out. Not to talk that Portugal had the most advanced navy tech at the time and bota fogo too which is in the assassins creed game black flag. It's amazing to. Play with that comparasing to Edward's ship
@Naruto six path Under mughal protection ahahahah you need to tell me ONLY ONE battle that the mughals helped the portuguese, lets talk about the battle of diu 1509? one of the most if not the most heavy defeat in muslim history , or maybe about ethiopian wars? where portugal sucessfuly expeled ottoman influence from it you want more? sieges of mallaca , Battle of hormuz and more and more....
The Abyssinia-Adal War series will be great! There is a legend about a portuguese musketeer who risked his own life to kill Ahmad Gragn (the Adal sultan), because the Emperor of Ethiopia promised to gave his sister in marriage to any man who could kill Gragn. João de Castilho was the name of this mysterious portuguese hero, who died after killing Gragn.
Amazing! I knew about the Portuguese help to Ethiopians against Somalis, they even thought the Ethiopian Emperor was Prester John, but I didn't know about this story
You should research about Afonso de Albuquerque, a great warrior, the lion of the seas, the terrible, the portuguese mars! Lots of streets in his name here in Portugal
Fun fact: I am an Indian with portugal last name: Fernando and my cousins are d'costas. Apparently the story goes like this. We were invaded by the ottomans by sea and our elders seek the help of portuguese to help them defeat the ottomans and in turn the portuguese asked our elders to convert to Catholicism which they did. So there was a mass baptism of 3000 people at the same day. And the portuguese became our God fathers and we took their last names.
@@bjbryanj Great story brother. I send hugs to you from Portugal 🇵🇹 and wish you all the best for your life! Hope I can visit some day or you can visit us, take care.
Great video! It was nice to learn about a topic in Ottoman history that is rarely covered. *the thumbnail of this video has the portrait of Selim II and not Suleyman I which I found odd.
Must say next video sounds really interesting. We tend to ignore historical events and significance of East Africa. Very interesting, Will keep an eye out
I mean, you just DON’T get great historical content like this anymore. There are only a few other channels which I hold in the same regard as y’all. Great video as always, looking forward to more.
Legend says that the ottoman commander was a eunuch and that when he wrote the letter to Captain Silveira. The Portuguese captain replied. " Most honourable commander Pacha. May you know that behind these walls there are men with balls bigger than your cannonballs and they do not fear those who don't have them". There is also the story of a Dutch priest that says that a portuguese soldier who ran out of bullets started shooting his own teeth
He said all my men got balls and wont listen to a man without balls. Because the pasha was a eunuch. So the Pasha got angry and attacked but got his ass kicked. The Portuguese actually wanted to kick him in the balls, but kicked his ass instead coz he had none.
Greetings. It’s a little bit inappropriate to imply there are «some sources suggesting a group of female soldiers saw active duty» in this conflict when the same documentation offers detail regarding these women, including references to their names. There’s more that we know about these women than the presentation proposes, a few of their husbands’ names are mentioned, as well as a few of their children’s. For instance, the leader of these females was Dona Izabel de Veiga. My favorite among them is possibly Ana Fernandes, who, when present in one of the bastions, saw her boy fall during the skirmish. What’s lovely about this woman is she managed to keep herself, continuing the struggle, only after the end of the skirmish dropping arms for mourning and burial. Not many sons can say they had their mothers’ fighting beside them - one might joke, all in good humor, that though it’s not easy to get away from mothers, it’s even less so if they happen to be Portuguese. It wasn’t an isolated event however. During the siege of Mazagão in 1562 - today named El Jadida (Morocco) -, a well known Portuguese knight’s mother received a correspondence from the Queen Regent, Dona Catarina, offering her condolences for his passing. The knight’s name was Jorge Nunes de Leão, the mother’s name was Isabel de Avelar. She replied back to the Queen, while still under siege - correspondence was possible given the fortress was under attack solely from land, having its back to the sea free of any up & arms offenses. I’ll attempt translating it appropriately: «I have already lost 4 children in the wars in India, thus the loss of this 5th pains me even more so. Though I still have a 6th, and I’m raising him so he can end this siege just as honorably!» There’s more information about such other episodes, whole books in fact. Regardless, I felt it appropriate to offer a more thorough approach regarding this one. With my regards.
@Alfarr Ragnarsson Good evening. You’re partly correct. The ‘Z’ is no longer used by the Portuguese in a few names, such as Sousa (Souza), Lopes (Lopez) and Dinis (Diniz), just to offer some examples, but it was until around the late 19th century, without an exact date. Sort of like Manuel is no longer spelled with an ‘O’: Manoel. In other Portuguese-speaking countries its usage can still be found however. It'd depend on the timeline we’re speaking of, given spelling changes within every language and its respective dialects over the centuries. I always find it curious, when reading older chronicles, to come across names spelled differently over the centuries. If you read English from the 16th century for instance, you’ll encounter interesting differences as well. In both Portuguese and Castilian - the latter being what is usually known as Spanish - Isabel/Izabel at times used to be spelled with an ‘Y’ as well, during the 15th century: Yzabel/Ysabel. The ‘Y’ is no longer used by the Portuguese whatsoever, though it was prevalent until the early 20th century. Best regards.
When I see these kinds of videos about Portuguese history, it just strikes me as absolute lunacy, who the hell fights wars half a world away in the 16th century?? And mind you, this won't even be the last one, they were so many... My ancestors were absolutely crazy mad, had to be... It's like, if those fleets and armies were damaged/destroyed they had to be replenished by sending more ships and troops from Portugal, in those days it took almost a year to send word back to Lisbon, a few months to assemble a new fleet and another year to get there, and you have to expect to lose like half the ships during the voyage, due to sinking, stopping to repairs, turned back, redirected to other places, etc, not until much later would they have some significant ship building capabilities in the area, but still, sustaining these kinds of operations... there's a saying in my country that the salt of the sea is made out of all the tears for the lost ships and sailors from those days. It leaves me in a difficult mix of emotions, for one side is kinda hard to not to root for my country, even knowing all the bad things they did there, for a lot of reasons, mostly greed and religion, they also did it for the adventure I guess, if you want to romanticize it, but still, it's also astonishing how such a small country even managed to pull some of these things.
You can call it greed, but we cant be this naive, to call it just that. The monopoly of the spice trade, gave prosperity to Portugal, and Europe. Before that spices, silks, and other exotic wares, were extremely expensive to western Europe since they had to go trough a lot of intermediaries, and lots of predatory taxes mainly by Muslim hostile nations at the time, with the Exception of Venice. This gave rise to the predominance of a Bourgeoisie class, or a middle class of sorts, in western Europe, due to its prosperity. There was a lot at stake beyond mere greed. Its a complex issue. Also i fail to understand why would you feel bad for what the Portuguese did. Its what everyone was doing, and what anyone would have done given the chance. It was different times, it is ridiculous to judge it by morals today. If we didn't control trade, the Mamluks/ottomans would, as they did before us. I find it peculiar that we are very quick to condemn Portuguese actions ( because they are westerns), but we have nothing to say, when its the ottomans interference, or the Mughals later on who would ended up conquer most of India. Anyway different times different contexts.
@@knightheaven8992 I have to disagree with you. First of all yes it was pure greed. The Portuguese wanted to have a monopoly on the spice trade in the indian ocean. This would make them rich. They didn't do it to bring prosperity to Europe. They didn't do it to better the lives of western europeans, or even the typical Portuguese serf; and even if they did that doesn't make it ok. "Oh spices are so expensive for the poor europeans. They just had to go half way around the World and fight and plunder." " Oh those poor europeans. They just had to fight and plunder half way across the world. They needed it to become prosperous." Give me a fucking break. They don't have a right to attack others, to gain prosperity. If I mug you is it ok? I mean, I need you money for my prosperity. Therefore in your eyes I am justified in mugging you. I agree that conquest was something everyone did back then. So it doesn't make sense to judge one specific group for conquering and plundering. But that doesn't mean their action were justified. They weren't justified. All factions that did this, including the Portuguese, were immoral and unjust. It is not just to conquer and plunder.
@@beninwarrior4579 it is not so simple. portugal at first wanted to just trade, no war. but the muslim merchants didn't want competition. so war started. I value open markets and no protectionism. moreover, 500 years have past and who knows whose country started hostilities??
@@beninwarrior4579 ""Oh spices are so expensive for the poor europeans. They just had to go half way around the World and fight and plunder."" Dude it was inevitable that would happen. In the moment Vasco Da Gama discovered a way around to India, and beyond, that changed the game for good. It was Portugal, it could had been anyone else given the chance. It is wrong only in the eyes of modern XXI century man eyes morals. At the time the context was different, your making a mistake of morally judging history of the people who lived in a context of a medieval world. More then half a millennia ago. Its ridiculous. "All factions that did this, including the Portuguese, were immoral and unjust." Everyone was doing it, it was a matter of survival. Including the Indian kingdoms and so on. You fucking naive, might as well say that the medieval, and feudal world was immoral and unjust while you are at it. While ignoring its context of all this, people at the time lived trough different rules, and different morals, and different paradigm. That is the point. What it might be seen immoral today, back then was the day to day of human societies and civilization. And yes you are resuming this things to only greed, and that is a very narrow minded to begin with, that is all im saying. Yes it was about prosperity, unknowingly or not, that is what happened, the global maritime trade at the time was a game changer. And obviously benefited those who could exploit it, Portugal in the beginning, for a long time, but then others as well. The others who weren't doing it, only because they couldn't yet.
Something this channel has taught me is that for all the focus we tend to give to outnumbered forces sacrificing themselves for their cause, it seems we often overlook the small garrisons that have won against rediculous odds.
"Alfonso" "Nino" The Portuguese names in this video are almost all wrong. Alfonso is the spanish version. The portuguese name is "Afonso", without an "l" "Nino" doesn't exist. The name in portuguese is "Nuno"
A "turk" at that time on that context is something very away from a turk from the turkish nation like a country...crossed it from Istambul to Trabzon, lovely place, great people. Salute

@Ger Many Portugal is a NATO member, we have declared war on Iraq when USA invaded, we helped East Timor our former colony from the Indonesian invasion. I don't remember what we did during the cold war after we become a democracy, but we fought a long very expensive war against our former African colonies during our dictatorship regime, it only ended in 1974. We have done small countries to United Nations blue helmets defensive force in Central Africa.

Good chance some Dutch were also right around the corner.
Dutch replaced Portuguese tourists in 1600s.
well ...i think every city or area called 'Natal' in the world means the Portuguese have been there
@@michaelhuber8581 true
The Portuguese were the first Europeans to visit Ayutthaya (Siam) in the early 1500s. They brought with them some dessert recipes which are still used today, and the Thai word for "bread" is derived from Portuguese. Most notably, though, they brought with them some spicy plants from South America, called chili peppers, which caught on rather well.
So Portugal fought the Ottomans in India. Colonial wars are fun!
@entishar the Balkans kinda sound like a colony to me
Don't mind me, just wanna passing by
@entishar its one and the same

entishar they literally colonised the balkans there was massive Turkish minority in many regions but were expelled after the Balkan wars there is still a sizeable amount in Bulgaria and other countries

*Made with Goat Horn* (portuguese expression to express hardiness and stubborness. "Feito em corno de cabra") : In desperate conditions, portuguese forces grow furious and stubborn to no end. Increase all attack by 25% and all resistances and damage reduction to 50%. Morale immunity, skirmish tactics and hiding come to effect.
There is something known as ethics of war.
The Portuguese never cared to follow it.
These divided and ruled the kingdoms they colonised!
Commiting mass murder and genocide in the kindgom of Calicut is a small example!
Portugal is such a tiny country with limited manpower. It's amazing that they could create an overseas empire like this!
The feitorias system and a powerfull navy was cleary the key here. In the case of ship building, Portugal was ahead of on the vanguard, due to it's experience in open sea travels, before Spain and other nations of it's time.
Plundering of South America though
@@JoDoSa Very true. Although the portuguese influence was on the downward trend by mid eighteenth century and Britishers were the real rising power, had it not been for the earthquake of 1755 in Lisbon which completely destroyed the city, Portuguese would still have given the other European powers a run for their money and probably would've had significant footprint in Asia and North America.
@@nirupamakumar3917 more like settling and developing what would become Brazil.

it's a beautiful video. as a Turk, I admire Portugal and the Portuguese 🇹🇷🤝🇵🇹
I admire them too. Years ago as a loudmouth no back-down youngster. I once helped a Portuguese guy get his old jalopy going after he stopped for me hiking on the road. We pulled away in his VW beetle and it stalled and wouldn't start. My oldman was a avid fan of VW Beetles and we owned six through the years. He was a part-time mechanic and taught me well. I just set the points and we were off. About 4 months later I was in a town away from home and picked up shit with 2 bullies but I pounded them both. Walking back to my friends house I saw them in 2 cars in a group of 8 getting out behind me and charging I laid out the first but the 2nd and 3rd bashed me too much and before the others got too close I gapped it across traffic with all these punks chasing me. Then I saw my Portuguese buddy and a friend driving by in the opposite direction with his eyes wide open looking at me. I couldnt stop because the ones chasing me were just like 7-8 m away. But my buddy turned the vw around and they came by shouting at me to get in. I jumped in and we got away but my buddy decided to turn back. As they were getting back in their cars we stopped by them, My buddy said wait here but I didnt. I got out with them and the 3 of us Pounded the CRAP out of 7 of them. 1 managed to get away with my buddy hot on his tail but he still got away. They helped me because I fixed his car with a screwdriver. We are still friends and even the guy who got away, we became friends later. He ended up marrying my sisters friend. A cute chick which I had an interest in but she had none for me. Good because I married a beautiful girl 4 years later with whom I have 4 children. She and I have till today not once argued about anything. I met her at another Portuguese friend of mine's house. She was his chick's best friend. I became an admirer of the Portuguese because many of them are upright no nonsense helpful friendly true friends and I love their history. I just love their amazing alone against the world history.

If the knights who are here in this corral had been in Rhodes you may believe that you would not have taken it. Find out that here Portuguese people are used to killing many Moors and have Captain António da Silveira, who has a pair of tomatoes stronger than the bullets in your cannons and that all Portuguese here have tomatoes and don't fear anyone who doesn't have them!"

To be honest, neither we Portuguese know about most of our military prowesses. The victory of Aljubarrota is very well known here , but it's an exception. Portugal's history school program is more politically than militarily oriented
Infelizmente o fim da monarquia brasileira levou a uma tendência política que dura até hoje, ano 2021, e que sempre procurou hostilizar a herança portuguesa através de um nacionalismo muito ativo que levou a uma manipulação do ensino da história.

In Terms of Trade, too, he had aims to bring the spice trade to Portugal via the Mediterranean Sea and North Africa.

We have a story/legend from this siege. It was said that when the part of the wall fell, 5 men jumped to fill the gap and held the line against 300-400 ottoman soldiers. The narrow passage was enough for them to hold the line while being wounded, this ended up giving the rest of the men a morale boost to keep fighting. Another story tells of 2 other artillery soldiers who held part of the wall alone with their spears killing several ottoman soldiers. Fun legends we managed to pull from the writtings of that time.

@satya vani Who Cares about you, silly TROLL
As a portuguese, im very sad that we lost all the importance that we had around the world, making all this sacrifices unworthit today
My god, that is a heroic defence. What absolute legends.
*Fun fact:* The Ottoman’s inability to consistently maintain a large fleet of galleons in the Indian Ocean meant that Admiral Sefer Reis would often counter the larger Portuguese galleons by timing his rowed galley attacks against them so that they would be forced to sail against the wind. Thus separating one galleon from the rest of the fleet and defeating them in detail. Often his strategy would prove incredibly effective due to his ability to hug the coastline and evade the open sea.
Вхламинго Whilst you are correct that the more heavily armed galleons were far more durable in open sea, the idea that galleys were no match for them at all is a common myth. Contrastingly, the tactics employed by galley captains adjusted accordingly to deal with them. The strategy of Admiral Sefer Reis in the Indian Ocean during the 16th century is a testament to this.
Would recommend reading The Ottoman Age of Exploration by Giancarlo Casale. Specifically page 112 where he elucidates upon this further.
@Вхламинго It is true that overall, large sailing ships proved more effective and durable in the long run, however Ottoman galleys definitely weren't powerless against Venetian galleons during the 16th century, and vice versa. The result of such engagements often varied depending on the amount of ships of either side, distance from the shore, wind strength and direction, and most importantly, the skill of each admiral to take advantage of these factors.
@Вхламинго still ottomans won most of their battles against venice
@@AdamNoizer Great explanation. Most peoples really thinks galleys always useless against galleons. This is really common myth.
Вхламинго
Not true. Countries with long and shallow coastlines used updated versions of galleys as late as the 18th century as far away as the Baltics.

Excepto Brasil la costa y Angola y Mozambique capturando y comprando negros para llevar a América o venderlos a los ingleses y holandeses mayoritariamente.
We are getting closer to the much coveted Adal-Abysynian War 🤩🤩🤩

Really!!!! That would be awesome
Great video. This is an area of history I know little about. I generally knew that the Portuguese had altered the trade routes of Asia away from the Arab world, and that it was a major reason for the long decline of the Ottoman Empire. This also caused a major shift in wealth to Europe. However, I have no idea of the people involved, the battles, and the process by which it was done.
It is fascinating. I look forward to more.
Interesting. I don't believe I've ever heard much about the direct Ottoman involvement in India.
Ottomans want the colonies like other European but fail because ottmans make more enemies then friend
I didn't knew that Ottomans ever fought on India soil , against Portuguese. Whether one hate or love Portuguese , they are stylish hell warrior fighters
why would you hate the Portuguese?? - and why not the British??
@@silveriorebelo8045 some people hate Portuguese ,some British and some both
@Den k Then again, seems India struggled a lot during english domain. It is said just during WW2, tens of thousands of indians died because britain demanded forced labour to produce enough cotton and rice for the british gear and rations.
@Ali Rahman & hence Somali piracy
@@fabiocosta3830 Tens of thousands?.. 4 million civilians Indian died at home due to British policy induced artificial famine!!!
The 24 Portuguese ships that sent the Ottomans into a hasty retreat happened to be there by a happy accident. A storm had blown one Ottoman ship of course and it ended up at the port of Honnavar, where the Portuguese had a factory, and was promptly captured. After dispatching a messenger to Goa, the commander of the Portuguese fleet in Honnavar left for Diu without waiting for orders from Goa. This was the fleet the Ottomans mistook to be the main fleet from Goa.
Fate
Great video!
I was actually expecting the 1509 battle when I saw Diu in the title. Due to the events that led to the battle, the battle itself and the repercusions in the geopolitics of the time after the battle I believe it's a much more interesting and important one in History knowledge.
Also Afonso de Albuquerque deserves it's own video. The things he did were just wild and wicked!
Damn, never was there a word mentioned regarding the Ottomans in any of my Indian school history books ! All thanks to you guys for bringing this content to us (even when India doesn't provide you with much viewership currently)

As a Gujarati thank you for not using anglicised 'Cambay'. The correct name is Khambhat.
Does anyone actually even say Cambay anymore? I've only ever heard it as Khambhat. But it feels bad when people say "Broach" instead of "Bhrigukachchha" or "Seringapatam"instead of "Srirangapatnam"
@@tentathesane8032 They do. People who are not as well informed about the vernacular or indigenous names use anglicised names. Like the Ganges instead of Ganga, etc.
Thank you so much for making videos on India. Please continue to do so, no one makes such high quality material on India as you guys do !
the secret of Portugal's success in the Ottoman confrontation was already having closed-back firearms. These cannons were very powerful. They fired five shots and with another kilometer longer in distance (one detail - 300 years later the Battle of Waterloo still used front loading cannons)

@@admontblanc Kinda,but Portugal was much more powerful in influence,economy and manpower than the dutch during the discoveries era.
nowadays Portugal may be small but in those days Portugal was the strongest nation in the world and the maritime empire raged around Portugal only weakened because the king died and screwed with everything because he had no children afterwards Portugal came to belong to Spain and like the spur Portugal was always at war Portugal became poor Portugal was once again a strong nation after the discovery of gold in Brazil but it was never the same

This was the response letter to Pasha's letter proposing the surrender:
"I have seen the words in your letter, and that of the captain which you have imprisoned through lie and betrayal of your word, signed under your name; which you have done because you are no man, for you have no balls, you are like a lying woman and a fool. How do you intend to pact with me, if you committed betrayal and falsity right before my eyes?... Be assured that here are Portuguese accustomed to killing many moors, and they have as captain António da Silveira, who has a pair of balls stronger than the cannonballs of your basilisks, that there's no reason to fear someone who has no balls, no honor and lies..."
The BM is real

Thank you for finally doing a vídeo about Portugal and it's battles
So Portugal defeated Ottam Empire. Nice!
@Naruto six path No, the portuguese Kicked the shit out of the ottomans several times, and outnumbered. Don't try to revise History.
Accept it, it's less painfull
@Naruto six path yeah man I believe that but you should see too that many ones on the Europe tried to envade Portugal always outnumbered we always kicked them out. Not to talk that Portugal had the most advanced navy tech at the time and bota fogo too which is in the assassins creed game black flag. It's amazing to. Play with that comparasing to Edward's ship
@Naruto six path Under mughal protection ahahahah you need to tell me ONLY ONE battle that the mughals helped the portuguese, lets talk about the battle of diu 1509? one of the most if not the most heavy defeat in muslim history , or maybe about ethiopian wars? where portugal sucessfuly expeled ottoman influence from it you want more? sieges of mallaca , Battle of hormuz and more and more....
The Abyssinia-Adal War series will be great!
There is a legend about a portuguese musketeer who risked his own life to kill Ahmad Gragn (the Adal sultan), because the Emperor of Ethiopia promised to gave his sister in marriage to any man who could kill Gragn.
João de Castilho was the name of this mysterious portuguese hero, who died after killing Gragn.
SIMP
Amazing! I knew about the Portuguese help to Ethiopians against Somalis, they even thought the Ethiopian Emperor was Prester John, but I didn't know about this story
@@ptlemon1101 lol
I hope they cover the Ajuuran Portuguese conflict aswell since that is just as interesting
Makes sense, Ethiopian chicks are smoking hot
Very well made, Kudos to everyone that made it possible 👍
You should research about Afonso de Albuquerque, a great warrior, the lion of the seas, the terrible, the portuguese mars! Lots of streets in his name here in Portugal
Fun fact: I am an Indian with portugal last name: Fernando and my cousins are d'costas. Apparently the story goes like this. We were invaded by the ottomans by sea and our elders seek the help of portuguese to help them defeat the ottomans and in turn the portuguese asked our elders to convert to Catholicism which they did. So there was a mass baptism of 3000 people at the same day. And the portuguese became our God fathers and we took their last names.
Meh... Most probably converted during the Portuguese inquisition.
@@Abhishek-sr2pu I said Fun fact.. not fun opinion. There is nothing to meh here.
@@bjbryanj Great story brother. I send hugs to you from Portugal 🇵🇹 and wish you all the best for your life! Hope I can visit some day or you can visit us, take care.
Great video! It was nice to learn about a topic in Ottoman history that is rarely covered.
*the thumbnail of this video has the portrait of Selim II and not Suleyman I which I found odd.
Must say next video sounds really interesting. We tend to ignore historical events and significance of East Africa. Very interesting, Will keep an eye out
Funny as I was in Diu early this year before the Great Plague ravaged our lives. Still some Portuguese influence and a fort left there.
I mean, you just DON’T get great historical content like this anymore. There are only a few other channels which I hold in the same regard as y’all. Great video as always, looking forward to more.
Legend says that the ottoman commander was a eunuch and that when he wrote the letter to Captain Silveira. The Portuguese captain replied. " Most honourable commander Pacha. May you know that behind these walls there are men with balls bigger than your cannonballs and they do not fear those who don't have them".
There is also the story of a Dutch priest that says that a portuguese soldier who ran out of bullets started shooting his own teeth
He said all my men got balls and wont listen to a man without balls. Because the pasha was a eunuch. So the Pasha got angry and attacked but got his ass kicked. The Portuguese actually wanted to kick him in the balls, but kicked his ass instead coz he had none.
Yes. He was eunuch. "Hadım" is actually his nickname, which means eunuch in Turkish. His full name is Hadım Süleyman Paşa (Suleiman "Eunuch" Pasha)
@@jaif7327 No. Servant is hizmetçi/hizmetli. Hadım means eunuch. Hadım etmek means to castrate someone.
I love to see my country in these videos! More Portugal videos please!
Never heard of this battle - or war. Thank you K&G.
Greetings. It’s a little bit inappropriate to imply there are «some sources suggesting a group of female soldiers saw active duty» in this conflict when the same documentation offers detail regarding these women, including references to their names. There’s more that we know about these women than the presentation proposes, a few of their husbands’ names are mentioned, as well as a few of their children’s. For instance, the leader of these females was Dona Izabel de Veiga.
My favorite among them is possibly Ana Fernandes, who, when present in one of the bastions, saw her boy fall during the skirmish. What’s lovely about this woman is she managed to keep herself, continuing the struggle, only after the end of the skirmish dropping arms for mourning and burial. Not many sons can say they had their mothers’ fighting beside them - one might joke, all in good humor, that though it’s not easy to get away from mothers, it’s even less so if they happen to be Portuguese.
It wasn’t an isolated event however. During the siege of Mazagão in 1562 - today named El Jadida (Morocco) -, a well known Portuguese knight’s mother received a correspondence from the Queen Regent, Dona Catarina, offering her condolences for his passing. The knight’s name was Jorge Nunes de Leão, the mother’s name was Isabel de Avelar. She replied back to the Queen, while still under siege - correspondence was possible given the fortress was under attack solely from land, having its back to the sea free of any up & arms offenses. I’ll attempt translating it appropriately:
«I have already lost 4 children in the wars in India, thus the loss of this 5th pains me even more so.
Though I still have a 6th, and I’m raising him so he can end this siege just as honorably!»
There’s more information about such other episodes, whole books in fact.
Regardless, I felt it appropriate to offer a more thorough approach regarding this one.
With my regards.
@Alfarr Ragnarsson Good evening. You’re partly correct. The ‘Z’ is no longer used by the Portuguese in a few names, such as Sousa (Souza), Lopes (Lopez) and Dinis (Diniz), just to offer some examples, but it was until around the late 19th century, without an exact date. Sort of like Manuel is no longer spelled with an ‘O’: Manoel.
In other Portuguese-speaking countries its usage can still be found however. It'd depend on the timeline we’re speaking of, given spelling changes within every language and its respective dialects over the centuries.
I always find it curious, when reading older chronicles, to come across names spelled differently over the centuries. If you read English from the 16th century for instance, you’ll encounter interesting differences as well.
In both Portuguese and Castilian - the latter being what is usually known as Spanish - Isabel/Izabel at times used to be spelled with an ‘Y’ as well, during the 15th century: Yzabel/Ysabel. The ‘Y’ is no longer used by the Portuguese whatsoever, though it was prevalent until the early 20th century.
Best regards.
Yeah.. Portuguese woman are strong... I knew it since I was a kid lol.
I've recently finished the book "Conquerors" by Roger Crowley and I feel very happy that all the things I read there appeared in this video :D
Have only heard of these fights in brief instants. Thank you for the new stuff to learn about!
When I see these kinds of videos about Portuguese history, it just strikes me as absolute lunacy, who the hell fights wars half a world away in the 16th century?? And mind you, this won't even be the last one, they were so many...
My ancestors were absolutely crazy mad, had to be... It's like, if those fleets and armies were damaged/destroyed they had to be replenished by sending more ships and troops from Portugal, in those days it took almost a year to send word back to Lisbon, a few months to assemble a new fleet and another year to get there, and you have to expect to lose like half the ships during the voyage, due to sinking, stopping to repairs, turned back, redirected to other places, etc, not until much later would they have some significant ship building capabilities in the area, but still, sustaining these kinds of operations... there's a saying in my country that the salt of the sea is made out of all the tears for the lost ships and sailors from those days.
It leaves me in a difficult mix of emotions, for one side is kinda hard to not to root for my country, even knowing all the bad things they did there, for a lot of reasons, mostly greed and religion, they also did it for the adventure I guess, if you want to romanticize it, but still, it's also astonishing how such a small country even managed to pull some of these things.
They basically had to become a trade power to maintain their independence. It was a Hobbsian world of dog eat dog back then.
You can call it greed, but we cant be this naive, to call it just that. The monopoly of the spice trade, gave prosperity to Portugal, and Europe.
Before that spices, silks, and other exotic wares, were extremely expensive to western Europe since they had to go trough a lot of intermediaries, and lots of predatory taxes mainly by Muslim hostile nations at the time, with the Exception of Venice. This gave rise to the predominance of a Bourgeoisie class, or a middle class of sorts, in western Europe, due to its prosperity. There was a lot at stake beyond mere greed. Its a complex issue.
Also i fail to understand why would you feel bad for what the Portuguese did. Its what everyone was doing, and what anyone would have done given the chance. It was different times, it is ridiculous to judge it by morals today.
If we didn't control trade, the Mamluks/ottomans would, as they did before us. I find it peculiar that we are very quick to condemn Portuguese actions ( because they are westerns), but we have nothing to say, when its the ottomans interference, or the Mughals later on who would ended up conquer most of India. Anyway different times different contexts.
@@knightheaven8992 I have to disagree with you. First of all yes it was pure greed. The Portuguese wanted to have a monopoly on the spice trade in the indian ocean. This would make them rich. They didn't do it to bring prosperity to Europe. They didn't do it to better the lives of western europeans, or even the typical Portuguese serf; and even if they did that doesn't make it ok. "Oh spices are so expensive for the poor europeans. They just had to go half way around the World and fight and plunder." " Oh those poor europeans. They just had to fight and plunder half way across the world. They needed it to become prosperous." Give me a fucking break. They don't have a right to attack others, to gain prosperity. If I mug you is it ok? I mean, I need you money for my prosperity. Therefore in your eyes I am justified in mugging you. I agree that conquest was something everyone did back then. So it doesn't make sense to judge one specific group for conquering and plundering. But that doesn't mean their action were justified. They weren't justified. All factions that did this, including the Portuguese, were immoral and unjust. It is not just to conquer and plunder.
@@beninwarrior4579 it is not so simple. portugal at first wanted to just trade, no war. but the muslim merchants didn't want competition. so war started. I value open markets and no protectionism. moreover, 500 years have past and who knows whose country started hostilities??
@@beninwarrior4579 ""Oh spices are so expensive for the poor europeans. They just had to go half way around the World and fight and plunder."" Dude it was inevitable that would happen. In the moment Vasco Da Gama discovered a way around to India, and beyond, that changed the game for good. It was Portugal, it could had been anyone else given the chance.
It is wrong only in the eyes of modern XXI century man eyes morals. At the time the context was different, your making a mistake of morally judging history of the people who lived in a context of a medieval world. More then half a millennia ago. Its ridiculous.
"All factions that did this, including the Portuguese, were immoral and unjust." Everyone was doing it, it was a matter of survival. Including the Indian kingdoms and so on. You fucking naive, might as well say that the medieval, and feudal world was immoral and unjust while you are at it. While ignoring its context of all this, people at the time lived trough different rules, and different morals, and different paradigm. That is the point.
What it might be seen immoral today, back then was the day to day of human societies and civilization.
And yes you are resuming this things to only greed, and that is a very narrow minded to begin with, that is all im saying.
Yes it was about prosperity, unknowingly or not, that is what happened, the global maritime trade at the time was a game changer. And obviously benefited those who could exploit it, Portugal in the beginning, for a long time, but then others as well. The others who weren't doing it, only because they couldn't yet.
Portuguese in Japan, India, China, Brazil, Cape Verde, Mozambique, OMG.
And SriLanka, Indonesia, South Africa, Angola, Persian Golf, Guinea, Molucas....
and Australia, US, Canada...
Don't forget Angola, São Tomé e Príncipe, Guiné Bissau, Timor Leste.
Something this channel has taught me is that for all the focus we tend to give to outnumbered forces sacrificing themselves for their cause, it seems we often overlook the small garrisons that have won against rediculous odds.
"Alfonso"
"Nino"
The Portuguese names in this video are almost all wrong.
