A new chapter begins with Afonso de Albuquerque! HIT that like button, Subscribe if you haven't done so already, and please share on social media! This is going to be an awesome campaign!!!
@@FlashPointHx I don't know about the whole "humble beginnings" part; I believe that would befit Napoleon more. Albuquerque technically wasn't a nobleman, sure-he was known as Governor rather than Viceroy of India because he never held the title of Dom, unlike Almeida and later Vasco da Gama-but the Albuquerque family was pretty well-known for at least a century before Afonso was born. His biography had an entire chapter dedicated to his ancestry.
Hollywood would make billions with the Portuguese World Discoveries, but it seems that the jewish old management, who still rule that decreasing monopoly, hate more Portugal than they like money.. Maybe they need fresh blood?
Absolutely captivating and mesmerizing. It feels like something straight out of a fictional cloak-and-dagger novel, yet it’s the real history of the Portuguese campaign in India. Their achievements, often against overwhelming odds, seem almost unbelievable, like they were guided by a higher force. The sheer determination and resilience of those men were unparalleled. And now, Goa, the jewel of the crown. I can’t wait for the next episode. This is a fantastic series: kudos to you for bringing such a fascinating and obscure period of history into the spotlight for a wider audience!
Francisco, this is such an incredible history. Yet it seems that it's nearly forgotten outside of Portugal or Portuguese speaking countries. What these men did was both barbaric and amazing.

soo good !!!!!!!!!!!!!! you should have millions subscribers you make people aware of the less talked about history events but that had a huge impact on the culture and civilization today, thank you so much!
Thank YOU, thank YOU and THANK YOU Mr... there will not be enough thanks to be grateful for your amazing work about the history of my country overseas.

Your sources are indeed way better than what we used to study in school about this time, Luis de Camoes had a amazing novel about this chronichles but this details you achieve to put on are priceless. Well done once again. "Bow to no one Sir".
I sometimes wish you just saved all the parts up and released it in one go because your videos are so good and 1 episode isn’t enough for me 😂 Thank you so much for making these videos.
Sadly, I will not go that far - want to get to the Spanish, but perhaps later a bonus episode on the Portuguese first contact with the Japanese would be in order.
Wow, amazing! Also, great insights into how Albuquerque forged his vision (I didn’t know this). Nothing would stop him now from achieving it. He’s like the Portuguese Genghis Khan, achieved world trade domination and was ruthless 😱. A lot of blood will be spilled in Goa...
As aways very well made! this series seems mostly based on a book that looks pretty dramatized and doesn't appear to the best source, but certainly is more accurate than what i knew previously and it's so entertaining that it gets me enthralled every time. Man thank you for this series!
It's a combination of various sources - Crowly only goes skin deep - like with the battle of Chaul or Diu. He does have a way with words however that I really like.

The real adventures of the Portuguese navigator and adventurer Fernão Mendes Pinto were so amazing and so mind crusher that in Europe everyone stayed so astonished that in Portugal people started to change his name from Pinto to "Minto" (I lie). Yet we know now, that they were very real and those fantastic places and completely different cultures, were very real! Like, the first men to go alone to Jupiter (in case it would have inhabitants) and return to tell his fellow men what he saw... who would believe in the counts from the point of view of the first world visitor?
It was an informative and wonderful historical coverage episode shared by an amazing ( flash point history) channel. The episodes about the glory pages of Portuguese fleets challenged Egyptian Mamluk fleets in Indian ocean and local Indian kingdom armies from Indian peninsulas landscapes
Hello, Flash Point History. Congratulations on another excellent video. As a kid at school, I remember teachers calling Goa the Crown Jewel of the Portuguese Empire. Of course, at that time the loss of 400 years of sovereignty for the Indian state, after the invasion of December 18, 1961, precisely on the day I turned 8 months old, was still very much alive and annexation by India had not been recognized by Salazar, who led the regime at the time, which would only happen after the revolution of April 25, 1974. I look forward to the next video, I can only imagine the research work that thanks to your dedication has resulted in this sequence of videos. As Portuguese, muito obrigado.
Amazing that you were alive when that happened. Yeah Goa would be their central primary base of operations. History videos are labor intensive - for each minute of video that you see, is about 1 hour of animation time and 3 hours of reading. That said, it's a labor of love.
I've really enjoyed these videos. Would certainly like to see them translated into Portuguese, for wider distribution - happy to help if I get sent a transcript. Wish I could do more.
@@carlos-ju7ce hey thank you for this - I wish the TH-cam system would better adapt their subtitles at least so this could be viewed by a Portuguese audience
Hahaha! I'm so glad someone got that reference. That scene where they are trying to use bird calls to get their buddy to climb the wall still has me cracking up.
"The spice must flow" is a phrase from the 1984 David Lynch film adaptation of Dune. The phrase does not appear in Frank Herbert's original 1965 novel or its sequels😊
Very cool topic. I like when you pick the slightly less known stuff that is still extremely important parts of history. Would you consider doing an Alexander the Great series ?
@FlashPointHx No sir, I don't mean it in a bad way! It's just that Fernando Coutinho was so infuriating, I wanted to slam the phone down on the floor (except I couldn't)! First it was the whole door thing, then he ran off into the jungles knowing FULL WELL it was too dangerous to go to the Samudri's palace, then he let his guard down at the palace and started looting the place. AND THEN HE FRICKING DIES. Seriously! I don't know if it was intentional, but his episode just made me dislike Coutinho; he was rash, impulsive, and stupid, and he was acting more like a spoiled toddler throwing a temper tantrum than a grown man. WHAT SORT OF MARSHAL THROWS A TANTRUM OVER A PAIR OF DOORS, ONLY TO THROW SAID DOORS INTO THE SEA, POSSIBLY LOSING THEM FOREVER, ONLY TO RUN OFF INTO THE JUNGLE WITH A GROUP OF SOLDIERS AND GET HIMSELF-AS WELL AS ALMOST THE ENTIRE GROUP-HACKED TO PIECES? He's just as reckless and stupid as Almeida Jr was during the Battle of Chaul (and we all know what happened to Almeida Jr), if not even more so! At least Lourenço's reckless behaviour can be partially excused by his relatively young age; some sources placed him at as young as 21 during the Battle of Chaul (he should've been at the club!). There's also the fact that Lourenço felt the need to regain his honour after his failure at Dabhol, so those thoughts may have overrode any rational thinking. Not justified, but at least it makes sense, based on what we know. Coutinho on the other hand was a grown man, ffs; yet here he was, doing nothing but causing more problems for his cousin to deal with. HE NEARLY GOT ALBUQUERQUE KILLED FFS! Again, not sure if it was unintentional; these were just my thoughts. Fin 😁
Crowley's book doesn't mention it, but one of the nobles (Lisuarte Pacheco) killed with Coutinho was also one of the sons of Duarte Pacheco Pereira. Lisuarte had earlier played a leading role in assisting his father during the Battle of Cochin.
@@siimplykittxie8469This battle was the opposite of the Battle of Cochin, the circumstances were easier but Coutinho's bad leadership ruined everything.
@@Zeelandian_Man Whoa - thats awesome. So many legions in history have carried the mark of beasts - lions, wolves, tigers. But you see someone carrying the sign of a Kiwi, you know they have nothing to hold back - they don't need a mascot to unleash hell.

@@FlashPointHx Question: What does "Sic Parvis Magna" mean? I know magna means noble, or something like that.
@@siimplykittxie8469 it’s implied meaning is ‘greatness from humble beginnings’

Nem deixarão meus versos esquecidos

Se fizeram por armas tão subidos,
Vossa bandeira sempre vencedora:
Um Pacheco fortíssimo e os temidos
Almeidas, por quem sempre o Tejo chora,
Albuquerque terríbil, Castro forte,
E outros em quem poder não teve a morte.
- Luís de Camões [Os Lusíadas, Canto I]
Wow - what a beautiful line! I had to translate it to English and it sounded powerful. I can only imagine how it must sound in Portuguese
@@FlashPointHx Here is Sir Richard Francis Burton's 1880 translation:
Nor shall they silent in my song remain,
they who in regions there where Dawns arise,
by Acts of Arms such glories toil'd to gain,
where thine unvanquisht flag for ever flies,
Pacheco, brave of braves; th' Almeidas twain,
whom Tagus mourns with ever-weeping eyes ;

with more, the victors of the very grave.
