I’m a history buff and this is my favourite TH-cam 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.
HOLY SMOKES - 1 hour and 20 minutes!! What a bloody treat this is. Not even watched the video yet, but have to state my appreciation for your work. I've been working through your back catalogue and loving it.
Portugal was a super power for a time in the world, this video gives a very good reason why, really enjoyed it, Love the way you cover history in this video
Crowley's book is great, and so is this video. Amazing what the Portuguese were able to accomplish; amazing how cruel and inhumane they were in doing so.
Portugal, had to fight islam for 600 years, to be free , they were returning to them what they had done to Christianity, in Portugal, ever heard of the saying ,, you reap what you sow ,
If the US or even Mexico were colonized by the Portuguese, there would be dozens of movies about these badass men. Francisco and Lourenço were everything we imagined about conquerors fighting under unfavorable odds for their Homeland and for their pride.
@@generalbenjaminarrola340you totally missed the point. But not surprising, without asking I can already tell where you are from and what TH-cam channels you watch.
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.
I'm Portuguese and I learned a lot of this in school here in Portugal. I don't know where your mind and attention was in history classes but for sure you weren't there. Dear lord Lol
As a amateur historian, I just want to say how thankful I am for your videos on early Portuguese conquest in Asia. Obviously you do not receive the same amount of views as the commercial historian channels but if you maintain this quality of videos, I am certain you will average over a million views per video.

@@FlashPointHx Indeed it was, i can't imagine living in Portugal those glory days, today is not so great, and Spain is all the World knows now, not us being 80 years in front of them in the 1400s.
amazing video....a lot of work went into this....thank you and congrats.....this was one of the most important battles in history,it secured India for the western powers for centuries to come.
This is so good man👍 love ur channel .. for a long time now. Another compliment has to made, u have a great voice! To listen to when u tell story's or lets say: history like this! Thanks i cant wait for the next one👍😎
Crazy to think that in 1509, England and Scotland would still be two separate countries for a century, and we were still 98 years from Jamestown; yet tiny Portugal was all over the near east, Brazil, etc. I guess I just find it wild how the UK started so late and colonized half the world in such a relatively short period of time.
Ancient times, different thoughts, actions and intentions totally opposite to those of "Nowadays"... For example: the time of the Crusader Knights... Thank you very much for your work! I really liked.
Amazing compilation and video in general! I only have one gripe with it, the title, I'd personally change it from "Revenge" to "Initiative" as all three battles show the importance of it. What happens when you don't take it, what happens when you disregard it and what happens when you go all in!

Hey friend thank you for make these great videos that help us to difund our history and achievements,i would ask you that keep it make videos about our country y not the Spanish Empire like you said in the past,cause there many much channels that explain his history and is very overrated.
You are better than Hollywood! They still must be thinking in doing the same old repetition of henry viii, so bored that they will call it, henry ix, just known for collecting necks. Here, History Real Happened and much better than Fiction!
@@Paul-r3v it seems like Hollywood loves its comfort zone. I was surprised that Netflix made those two series on the ottomans and Marco Polo. It’s too bad that they don’t make movies about this time period - as you said history can be more powerful and interesting than fiction

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.

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.

Legend has it that a distant Cantonese relative of mine: Lee Lo Mo was behind the naming of the port.
@@danko6582 you mean Diu?
You dont need a great army and general to lead. All you need is a decent navy, good admiral with exceptional abilities and this world is yours..
@@giod6266 I think any civilization that ignored its navy didn’t last long
You are better than Hollywood! They still must be thinking in doing the same old repetition of henry viii, so bored that they will call it, henry ix, just known for collecting necks. Here, History Real Happened and much better than Fiction!
@@Paul-r3v it seems like Hollywood loves its comfort zone. I was surprised that Netflix made those two series on the ottomans and Marco Polo. It’s too bad that they don’t make movies about this time period - as you said history can be more powerful and interesting than fiction
@@FlashPointHx Marco Polo is a ficcional character, at least the words and the descriptions are typical of the 19th century, never from the european middle and post middle ages.
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Well its a compilation video - wanted to put all the Almeida videos together

A vingança foi um pouco excessiva.....ups
PORTUGAL WAS THE FISRT GLOBAL EMPIRE 1500 1999, 🇵🇹🤫
The spanish just is a second copy of Great Portuguêses empire 🌍🤫
portugal caralho a mais bela historia que existe
Portugal the most valiant nation in Asia ( east )

@@joaosousa-x1z impressive that such a small nation could make such a massive empire
@@FlashPointHx It´s true my friend
It is Fernão de Magalhães not Ferdinand Magellian
@@nunoamaro6518 yup
It's the english name for the same person.
@@jfarinhote there is no one english with that name, it is just injust to Portugal
@@nunoamaro6518 é o nome dado pelos ingleses a uma pessoa de relevo na História da humanidade sem ascendência inglesa. Todos os países fazem isso. Joana d'Arc é o nome português de Jeanne d'Arc

Didn't know "revenge" was a tactic needed in warfare.
It has the highest degree of moral of any motivating force, plus Its a dish best served cold
It's human nature❤
@@FlashPointHx Touché, Flash. Who needs defence, attacks, counterattacks, siege equipment, morale boosters, terrain and technology when you've got revenge?

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.
its incredible how portuguese were able to blockade the red sea and the persian golf by themselfs fordecades, it's something completely impossible for any nation nowadays
PORTUGAL CARALHOOO

Is this a reupload or a compilation or something?
@@lahma69 yes - wanted to bring all parts of the Almeida series together
It's a compilation of the previous 3 episodes on Francisco de Almeida, posted from May 11 till September 11, 2024.
@@FlashPointHx Gotcha. Just making sure as I didn't want to miss any new content. I watch every video you release on the day it comes out so unfortunately I've already seen this content.
@@lahma69 all good - some people just like the long format
However brutal it may sound, luckly we learn it is just a game.

If your going to use the term 'Muslim" So often you should also use "Christian" and not just Portuguese. Very good work bar that one inconsistency 👍
Technically, the Venetians were Christians, too, and they were building the Mamluks a navy.

wait.....it wasn't Vasco da Gama who bombed Calicut but it was Pedro Alves Cabral.
@@ilidiocarmona4827 it was both :) it became the Portuguese pastime sport
@@FlashPointHx yes but it was with Pedro Alvares Cabral that it would be known as "the massacre of Calicut"......
@@ilidiocarmona4827 if they hadnt betrayed the portuguese a massacre wouldnt have happened.
