Meanwhile Alfonso set about reconquering territory from the Moors. In 1139 Alfonso defeated the Moors at Ourique. In 1147 he captured Lisbon and moved the…

continuing into the 17th century, Portugal began establishing itself as a commercial empire. Vasco de Gama, along with his successors, initially discovered the vibrant world of Southeast Asia and its abundance of resources. Unfortunately, following discovery of these lands via sea-routes, it became apparent that the Asian merchants were not interested in European goods. Because of this fact and combined with a general lack of military power in the Indian Ocean, the Portuguese saw conquest and…

Jeffery Lesser’s Immigration, Ethnicity and National Identity in Brazil is a motivated, praiseworthy effort to describe the complex, evolving relationships between immigration, ethnicity, and national identity in Brazil since 1808. Brazil declared its independence from Portugal in 1822. But their connection to Portugal lead to many of the problems it had after its independence. Brazil has been always, even from the times it was a part of Portugal, a slave state. It was its national identity,…

In this essay, I will be summarizing James Fujitani's argument regarding the rejection of the Ming with the Portuguese effort to establish diplomatic relations in 1519. Back in 1517, the Portuguese fleet arrived off the coast of Guangzhou. This was a great moment of symbolic importance to the Portuguese, with making the first official contact between the East Asia and Europe of the early modern period. However, just a few years later, in 1521, these relations broke down by many false rumor…

When da Gama returned to Portugal in September 1498, the Portuguese king decided to send out one more expedition immediately to India to take advantage of the new trading opportunities that had been opened up when da Gama returned. After all, da Gama would have been the logical choice to lead such an expedition but apparently, he still needed to recover from his last voyage and perhaps, his suggestion was Cabral to take his place to lead. Cabral left the city Lisbon on March 9, 1500 with a fleet…

To embark on the journey, Da Gama pointed his ships south, taking advantage of prevailing winds along the coast of Africa. Following several months of…
