It's 1508 and the Mamluks, with Venetian aid, enter the Indian Ocean with an armada. Lourenço de Almeida - the son of the viceroy - comes under their attack in the harbor of the city of Chaul. His need for redemption, however, clouds his tactical judgement.

Enjoy this video folks - please don't forget to share on social and spread word online! Leave a like and comment - its the only way a channel can grow!
This video made me reflect on just what an amazing bond that can exist between father and son. Not to sound too cheesy - but after completing this part, I had to rush over and give my son a hug.
You guys are the best!
There's a comedian name Russel Peters said that Portuguese sounds like Spanish spoken by a deaf person.
You're doing more justice to Portuguese history than our public schools and government, thank you very much for these videos ❤
@@orlandixstudios6032 any time ! Happy you liked these videos so much !
@@FlashPointHx I actually like these series. It seems to be skipped by most TH-cam historians. Please make more videos of European conquest of India all up to the domination of the British. Keep up the good work.
No, he isn't
@@balabanasireti Up yours...
@@balabanasiretiyes he is and this is from a fellow portuguese who actually went through portuguese schools
Thank you mate for the telling the epic saga of our Portuguese cousins, sadly Brazilians and Portuguese don’t know their history and tend to be ashamed without realizing how epic it was! Obrigado!
You’re so welcome ! Thanks for this as well
I can't put in words how much joy it brings me to see the history of my country be told in such a perfect/epic/with such high quality way. You are doing what we in Portugal should have been doing for ages, it's sad that even the vast majority of the Portuguese population doesn't know about this. You are doing an amazing job. Thank you and please keep doing it.
You deserve a statue in downtown Lisbon facing the Tagus River!
@@paulocorreia7942 that would be amazing - I need to get out to Lisbon one of these days
@@FlashPointHx please do and make sure to tell first so we can show you around, give you good food and better wines. You wont regret!
@@Tusiriakest Will do - I heard you guys have some amazing food and wine
Cringe
@@balabanasireti seen all your comments - you got a lot of neg energy about ya
I loved that Red Dead Redemption trophy, so accurate. xD.
@@SylvaHodracyrda thank you for mentioning this! I put a lot of time into my achievements and I really liked how it fit in here
@@FlashPointHx Now I will never play those games endings without remembering that moment in this video. xD.
@@SylvaHodracyrda it takes a formidable person to acknowledge their own mortality - and face it straight on
As he later say
You eat the chicken, now have to deal with the Rooster.
That battle was pretty intense, the Portuguese and Muslims were really fighting tooth and nail for India, and this is only the beginning!
@@Darth_Enigma this fight would go on for a century - but the Portuguese were here to stay . . . Until the Dutch arrived that is
@@FlashPointHx Well, they stayed until the year of 1999 though.
@@SylvaHodracyrda true - but it wasn’t the world empire of the 16th century
@@FlashPointHx It's an interesting pattern of every empire in history, usually their ascendancy lasts for about 100 years, until after the 3rd generation, when it begins to crumble, sometimes fast, other times slowly.
@@SylvaHodracyrda there’s a Chinese proverb that goes, the first generation builds the wealth, the second generation enjoys the wealth, the third generation loses the wealth
At Night time Almeida walks calm and collected on to the Portugues Flagship, his hands stacked behind his back.
He passes through a Chaotic crew scatered running back and forth like worker Ants, carrying Barrels and Crates from A to B.
Almeida yells out: "ready the Ships", "prepare the Cannons" as he slowly made his way to the ships Fordeck.
Anybody that would dare to look into his gazing Eyes would understand, that this Man is Dead Inside.
At the Fordeck Almeida looks out, into the Waters of the Indien Ocean, into this Dark Void that just a few Days ago swalloed his Son, his Lagecy Alive.
With a growling voice he orders, to himself :
"Next Stop Diu".
Total War Rome 2 Music, Starts Playing in the Background. 😅😅😅😅
Thats impressive - Only thing I'd change is the background music to Homeworld
Keep doing such an awesome job! Muito obrigado!
Wow - thank you so much!
Many people look at the atrocities committed by their ancestors and feel ashamed of their history. I personally think that context is important, and historic context usually lacks in these arguments. We can't judge the actions of our ancestors with the morals of our present. Doing so will only celebrate the defeated while condemning the victors, which ignores the fact that if the defeated had been victorious they would be the ones commiting these attrocities and the only reason they didn't was because they couldn't. You don't have to be proud of these immoral actions, but you should be proud of your ancestors success, without it you wouldn't be here.
@@brunoalves-pg9eo and those that try to cover up or forget what happened will never learn how to be better within our own moral constructs
What a good point. I think the best way we can honour our ancestors is to celebrate their successes, and learn from their failures, follow their good deeds, and acknowledge their bad deeds so that you won't make the same mistake.
Muslims killed hundreds of thousands of christians since 7th century, non of that is considered atrocious. Only when Christians do something...
You're right, but the problem is selective judgment. It's perfectly fine judging your ancestors by context, but then to see the enemy as barbarians betrays what it really is. Not a nuanced view of the world, but a warped history where my ancestors wrongs are better than that of the enemy.
Many Spaniards and Portuguese are major culprits of this, because they have a... colorful history, while always portraying Moors as exceptionally cruel and barbarous. This is sort of unparalleled in Western Europe.
People are free to be proud, or ashamed, or even apathetic toward their ancestors and history. Just don't let others to dictate how you should feel about your ancestors and the history of your nation.
Altho, TBH, this self-loathing phenomena exist mostly in Anglosphere countries (US, UK, Canada, Australia, NZ), plus Germany, and also Japan for lesser extent (due to being forced on them by the Anglos). On the other hand, vast majority of people in Arab countries, Mongolia, Iran, India, China, Russia, France, Spain, Portugal, Turkey, etc are proud of their illustrious history.
There's an Island named St Mary Island, Its the same Island where Vasco Da Gama on his first Voyage had landed and named it as Santa Maria before sailing towards Calicut to meet Zamorin, this Island is close to where I live, but never knew about its significance and why it was named as St Mary until I saw your video and researched it further.
Your way of explaining and Animation is really impressive as it feels if I am watching a Documentary, as always Thank you!
Thanks so much for this comment - I'm honored that my video inspired you to look deeper into the history of that Island
Love the closing song. Some local Indian flavor while making me think of fatherly revenge on the horizon. They should have known this was like kicking a hornet’s nest into their own home.
They awoke the Kraken
Thank you for reminding me why I feel proud to be Portuguese, it's incredible how such a small nation wrote such glorious pages in world history and so few know about it.
Well done for your work. 🙏👏🇵🇹
This history of Portugal is just incredible!
@@FlashPointHx Our almost 900-year history as a nation has many fantastic and almost unbelievable events of how a tiny country managed to overcome when all circumstances were against it.
@@J.O.J.61 so true
@@FlashPointHx I would love for you to do a series about the three Napoleonic invasions we suffered.
@@J.O.J.61 be always wanted to something on him
Thank you again. Excellent doc.
Just one tiny thing: *Santo António (In Portuguese saints starting with vowels are "santo" and not "S." 😊)
Waiting for the one on our bloody terrorist working for the state (Albuquerque, who else?)
Here's the Portugal's history as I never heard before.. amazing job, well done 👏
30:38 - not just the spanish but the portuguese too. (Profunda Tristeza translates to profound sadness/sorrow/grief). Great video as always and this could easily be the movie script for the hypothetical movie about the battle of Diu (1509)
Yeah exactly - I’m going to combine all these Almeida videos together into one - it will be over an hour long and I think the narrative will really flow
@@FlashPointHx submit it to Hollywood whenever they get their brain back they might pick you up for a historical advisor role 👌or bypass Hollywood and submi5 it somewhere else that has world wide access
Thank You so much! Great work! Just an humble suggestion, it would be great to have a chronologically arranged Portugal video will ALL your videos or a play list we could more easily share. These where our grand parents glory days and I for one am very proud of them and hope we reach this level once again…but this takes brilliant leaders like we had back then…
I've already set this up - if you go to my TH-cam home page and look under playlist - I have it already set up.
Really, it was remarkable historical coverage work about Portuguese navigation glory during the 16th century....where Portuguese navigation fleets dominated naval corridors between ( Lisbon) and (western Indian sea port...shores ....thank you an excellent ( Flash point history) channel for sharing
Any time Mohammed =)
This is perhaps the one case in which 'winner, winner chicken dinner' will not end well for those who had themselves a bite. The rooster has vingança in its eyes.
Can’t wait for the first battle of Diu. Keep up the good work! amazing storytelling
@@sheevirwin8399 happy you liked this video !
Well narrated, nice graphics, epic story! Gj.
Flash Point History, you are the best..Muito Obrigado.
You are so welcome
Your entire series deserves to be translated into portuguese and aired on national TV
I prefer it to be narrated by someone who is not Portuguese (person or language). This way, you won't be accused of any bias.
Giving a thumbs up before watching, because it's not plausible the video won't be as good as expected...
Great video...one of the best yet!
Can't wait for part 3!
@@IWS107 hey Sam - thanks so much
Yes! I've been waiting for this one. Thank you as always, Nitin.
@@ScipioAfricanus_Chris my pleasure Chris - was delighted to see you at the premiere
I watched in awe the Portuguese conquests of the East. (parts l and ll)
We were told in the history and geography books that the Portuguese landed in Mauritius while sailing around the cape of Good Hope. But alas, it wasn't so. I was very disappointed. 😢
Can´t wait for part 3, the revenge of Almeida!!
And what a revenge it would be
@@pedrocsantos8It'll be better than The Count of Monte Cristo, because it actually happened!
Amazing work as always. Can't wait for the next chapter!
@@hardtwoexplain next is the famous Battle of Diu
Epic videos! One day there will be a series and/or movies about these epic stories
Amazing video as always FPH!
@@KHK001 thank you K !
Wow, that glory hunting will get you every time. But, gotta say, LoLo held up the Enemy fleet, all his other ships escaped, including the cargo, and 3 new ships. Let me guess, he's a national hero?
@@3idraven714 seems like the King - Manuel - was never able to acknowledge talent. Duarte Periera fell out of favor and even Francisco de Almeida was never given much credit - had the elder Almeida made it home, he would have faced a court martial and exile
@@FlashPointHx The reason I asked was all the "other" deeds before his Heroic last stand, because it was heroic. So as you explained, he was about to pay the piper. Sometimes in history, really bad guys, get glory from one event, and bam, they are a National Hero. Thanks for the "espalination".
@@FlashPointHx I noticed another pattern in your excellent Portuguese History (masterpiece ;), Portugal had great leaders, and a lot of them never saw glory, or only saw glory Once, because they weren't "liked" by the King. Was this one of those Court Rivalry situations, that is replete thru History? Can't get yo sh!t together, not a Team? "The Buck stops here" LOL.
@@3idraven714 the higher you went in the aristocracy the more enemies you acquired - Afonso de Albuquerque had the rare trait of being able to establish a lot of support in the royalty - Francisco de Almeida did not - his peers poisoned the mind of King Manuel against him.
@@3idraven714 yeah - when I did my history of the Punic Wars, it was exactly the same. Scipio africanus defeated Hannibal - the greatest threat to Rome up to that point - yet he was brought down by his own government. His headstone read ‘ungrateful country - you shall not possess my bones!’ (He made it a point to be buried outside the boundaries of Rome )
So intense and breathtaking! Amazing work! Looking forward for more!
Thank you so much!
All this is a quite great feat from Portugal considering that industrial revolution had not been started yet
Great video btw and thanks for the work
Industrial Revolution never really got into Portugal, the country 300 years later would be very different.
@@diogorodrigues747That was a deliberate policy by Pombal and his liberal successors, at the behest of their British paymasters.
Awesome episode i was glued the whole time, it feels like we are there with Lourenço de Almeida.
Glad you enjoyed it!
A very important man.
@@borisnegrarosa9113 history would have been a lot different without him
Thank you! I love your videos, they are a great way to discover the history of my country! I can see there is a huge amount of investigation and graphical design in the video! Continue the great work! ❤️
Thank you so much for this - I find the history of Portugal to be so much fascinating than I had anticipated.
Fantastic. Well done.

@@mariothibau1070 agree!
nice love your clash of words series
Thank you!
Brilliant as usual 👍🏻
Mate, can you do one day a serie about the Carlist Wars in Spain in XIX century and a Pedro II of Brazil serie? That themes can be very unique for your channel.
I really enjoy and love your content Flash Point History 😊🙏🏻
@@sarenartanis1752 I’d have to research this - I’ve never heard of the latter
@@FlashPointHx About the Carlist Wars, for the spaniards were very important wars because it was the origins of the regionalism and nationalisms they suffer nowadays. Moreover, in that wars participate many good spanish generals like Zumalacaguerri or Espartero, and foreign generals from France and Austria.
Pedro II of Brazil was a very chad king and he participated in many wars, being the most famous the Triple Alliance War against Paraguay.
For the spanish and portuguese communities, that videos will be a hit and instant classics for the channel 😊
@@sarenartanis1752 from what o remember it was the foundation for why South America never unified and was eventually divided into so many smaller states. But against, S American history gets little press
Never clicked on a video faster. Made my day seeing it in my feed
This is so good!
I’ll have to rewatch it several times waiting for Diu!
And you ended up doing three-parts just for Francisco de Almeida! What a treat!
Thank you once again for your dedication, creativity and hard work. This is the best youtube channel ever!
(Oh and I see you ended up like it the ideia of doing a summary of battle casualties 😂 it really helps visualising the scale of the battle)
@@Tusiriakest hahah - yeah I knew to really tell this particular story of father and son you needed three parts - and yes the after action report is a great idea - thanks again for that ;)
@@FlashPointHxThis video seems to be more about Lourenço de Almeida (+that bit about Albuquerque) than about Francisco. Either way, I liked the video up until Almeida Jr started making dumb decisions. Then I couldn't watch.

Almeida Senior
@FlashPointHx oh, man. Tks for commenting on my comment. Love your work. Keep doing what you doing.
@@FlashPointHxHistory would have turned out differently if Almeida Sr had been a terrible father.
Or maybe not, since Almeida Jr would still want to prove his worth to his father, probably even more than before since he thinks that his achievments are the only way to gain his father's love.
He reminds me of an extreme version of Prince Zuko, and Almeida Sr is Iroh.
