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

    Never learned any of this in Portuguese school. Just that Portugal 🇵🇹 conquered a few places here and there and had a few trading outposts.
    Had no idea Portugal managed to rule all of the Indian Ocean for a hundred years. Didn't know anything about the war with the Mamluks and the Turks.
    The Portuguese really do a terrible job of self promotion, especially their history. It's like everything is a secret in Portugal. The biggest waves on the planet, right off shore in Nazaré, were completely unknown even to the Portuguese, until an American came to surf there.
    And imagine all the history and architecture that was lost in the Great Lisbon Earthquake of 1755.
    Portugal needs foreigners to tell the stories of the Portuguese. Well done, sir.

      If you never learned this in History classes in schools in Portugal, you either had terrible teachers or were distracted! This important part of History continues to be part of the History curriculum in the education system in Portugal and I guarantee you that there is no Portuguese History teacher, whatever ideology, who is not proud of this period in which Portugal really helped to change the History of the world, because History cannot be romanticized or dramatized. That's what it was, and it was huge.

    Também farão Mombaça, que se arreia
    De casas sumptuosas e edifícios,
    Co ferro e fogo seu queimada e feia,
    Em pago dos passados malefícios.
    Despois, na costa da Índia, andando cheia
    De lenhos inimigos e artificios
    Contra os Lusos, com velas e com remos
    O mancebo Lourenço fará extremos.
    Das grandes naus do Samorim potente,
    Que encherão todo o mar, co a férrea pela,
    Que sai com trovão do cobre ardente,
    Fará pedaços leme, masto, vela.
    Despois, lançando arpéus ousadamente
    Na capitaina imiga, dentro nela
    Saltando o fará só com lança e espada
    De quatrocentos Mouros despejada.
    Mas de Deus a escondida providência
    (Que ela só sabe o bem de que se serve)
    O porá onde esforço nem prudência
    Poderá haver que a vida lhe reserve.
    Em Chaúl, onde em sangue e resistência
    O mar todo com fogo e ferro ferve,
    Lhe farão que com vida se não saia
    As armadas de Egipto e de Cambaia.
    Ali o poder de muitos inimigos
    (Que o grande esforço só com força rende),
    Os ventos que faltaram, e os perigos
    Do mar, que sobejaram, tudo o ofende.
    Aqui ressurjam todos os Antigos,
    A ver o nobre ardor que aqui se aprende:
    Outro Ceva verão, que, espedaçado,
    Não sabe ser rendido nem domado.
    Com toda ũa coxa fora, que em pedaços
    Lhe leva um cego tiro que passara,
    Se serve inda dos animosos braços
    E do grão coração que lhe ficara.
    Até que outro pelouro quebra os laços
    Com que co alma o corpo se liara:
    Ela, solta, voou da prisão fora
    Onde súbito se acha vencedora.
    Vai-te, alma, em paz, da guerra turbulenta,
    Na qual tu mereceste paz serena!
    Que o corpo, que em pedaços se apresenta,
    Quem o gerou, vingança já lhe ordena:
    Que eu ouço retumbar a grão tormenta,
    Que vem já dar a dura e eterna pena,
    De esperas, basiliscos e trabucos,
    A Cambaicos cruéis e Mamelucos.
    Eis vem o pai, com ânimo estupendo,
    Trazendo fúria e mágoa por antolhos,
    Com que o paterno amor lhe está movendo
    Fogo no coração, água nos olhos.
    A nobre ira lhe vinha prometendo
    Que o sangue fará dar pelos giolhos
    Nas inimigas naus; senti-lo-á o Nilo,
    Podê-lo-á o Indo ver e o Gange ouvi-lo.
    - Luís de Camões [Os Lusíadas, Canto X]

    Concerning the second option decision would be that the Portuguese didnt have enough gun powder also they knew the other fleet possible agreement in place. Concerning the dislike the portugese had about islam is because of the constant raids islam did to iberia against them capturying people and enslaving them an policy that derives from the quran and is still practiced today in somalia and until the 18th century by the barbary states. The mistake was done by venice . And today we see maroko algeria egypt turkey being armed by europeans it seems like historical lessons where not learned Also lets not forget islam was an tyrant in indian i say that because islam killed millions and destroyed hunderd of thousand s of hindu temples.

      @@JA-yk7wv Indeed, that is the case today. However, Bartolomeu Dias's surname in the 16th century was written "Diaz" and the city Elmina in Gana - where the Portuguese built the São Jorge da Mina Fortress - suggests that vernacular Renaissance Portuguese might been a bit Castilian-like. Note that, at the time, the Portuguese language was just 2 centuries old and it might be the case that not everyone yet spoke the standard Portuguese. Some might have spoken something closer to what would sound Mirandese today.
