Ottoman series is back, baby! New and improved! Please, consider liking and sharing the video - that will allow more people to see it and will tell us that this series is in demand. :-)
Yay I'm glad it's back!
We were waiting 8 months since the battle of Lepanto!!
Can you please help me with no Turkish subtitles?
I'm a really good follower. You're making good videos, but please take care of this subtitles.
Thank you so much kings and generals!
yaaaaaaaaaaaaaay
Portugal is such a tiny country with limited manpower. It's amazing that they could create an overseas empire like this!
We are an amazing people, capable of great acomplishments
The feitorias system and a powerfull navy was cleary the key here. In the case of ship building, Portugal was ahead of on the vanguard, due to it's experience in open sea travels, before Spain and other nations of it's time.
Plundering of South America though
@JoDoSa Very true. Although the portuguese influence was on the downward trend by mid eighteenth century and Britishers were the real rising power, had it not been for the earthquake of 1755 in Lisbon which completely destroyed the city, Portuguese would still have given the other European powers a run for their money and probably would've had significant footprint in Asia and North America.
@Nirupama Kumar more like settling and developing what would become Brazil.
I am of Tamil-Portuguese Ancestry. My ancestors fought the Battle of Diu alongside our Portuguese allies. We are a sea faring people and settled predominantly today around the coasts of Tamil Nadu & Sri Lanka.
cool... you are in navy?
Um abraço, Camilo, Viva Portugal!
Camilo our deepest thanks ❤️🇵🇹!! Regards from Portugal.
Um abraço de Portugal 🇵🇹
Portugal is like a tourist who goes everywhere. No matter whose history you research. If they existed in the 1500s you can bet portugal was there
Good chance some Dutch were also right around the corner.
Dutch replaced Portuguese tourists in 1600s.
well ...i think every city or area called 'Natal' in the world means the Portuguese have been there
@Michael Huber true
The Portuguese were the first Europeans to visit Ayutthaya (Siam) in the early 1500s. They brought with them some dessert recipes which are still used today, and the Thai word for "bread" is derived from Portuguese. Most notably, though, they brought with them some spicy plants from South America, called chili peppers, which caught on rather well.
Grandes portugueses, fizeram de um país minúsculo, um império espalhado por todo o planeta, graças ao dom da navegação .
Um abraço do Brasil.
sou os dois 🇵🇹🇧🇷😏
edit: mas naci na 🇬🇧
Minúsculo ? Portugal tem ume ZEE de 3 millions km2
@Alexandre, ele quis dizer no tocante ao tamanho do país.
Abraço de Portugal caro irmão brasileiro 🇵🇹🤝🇧🇷
Também inclui povo daí hein, cabe tudo no rolé 💙
Portuguese history is full of fantastic things and heroism! It is a small country only in geography, as in values, achievements, culture and history it is one of the largest in the world. Brazilian greetings!
I'm Brazilian, very connected to the Portuguese, and I have to admit that the Portuguese were very brave to fight with ottoman empire at its peak. Many respects for my irmãos. ✝️🇵🇹
Portuguese 🤢🤢🤢
Ottoman 💪
@Abrar Omio mediocre 👀
@João Gabriel you won a battle , we won the war 😎😎😎😎 we are Muslim
@Abed AL Rahman Diab yes
Imagine if Portugal was a big country. Portuguese are incredible brave and strategistic warriors.
Look at it now.
@Ruthieal still a great country...wher are the ottomans?
@Francisco Antunes the republic of turkey is the ottoman state with a changed name and system
İts like german empire into germany
Turkey is the diplomatic follower of the empire
And surely todays turkey is a more powerful and influencel state than portugal
As a Brazilian, everything that I learned in school about the Portuguese Empire was related to Brazil only. It is funny to know that at the same time, they were fighting countless battles and colonizing places all around the world
The border between Spain and Portugal has been the most stable in Europe ever since Portugal and Castile signed the treaty of Alcañices in 1297.
Tu és eu 500 anos depois no outro lado do atlantico. Portugues vai ser falado no espaço. l 🇵🇹 🇧🇷
It can't be real! Boto fé, português vai ser a língua oficial da humanidade
What's funny is that Brazil wasn't important to the Portuguese until the late 17th century, when they lost the monopoly of the Spice Trade. Only after that, they focused on building up Brazil
Damn, never was there a word mentioned regarding the Ottomans in any of my Indian school history books ! All thanks to you guys for bringing this content to us (even when India doesn't provide you with much viewership currently)
Also Indian, also had no idea about this.
@Devang Nivatkar in college book or school book? In school there is only Mughals, Gandhi and ww2 And WW1.
@Abhishek I haven't had History as a subject beyond school. I'm from state board, so we had two years of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj as well.
@Abhishek We are not taught about our own great empires like Srivijaya, Satvanah, Kalinga, Shungha, Chola, Sinhala, Pandya empires who were not only rulers of Indian subcontinent but also out of Indian subcontinent, Our history books are only contains information about how invaders invade us and how we got independence from British, that's all
Me too an Indian, love history channels such as this one. I have looked at a lot of Ottoman history but didn't about this either.
*Fun fact:* The Ottoman’s inability to consistently maintain a large fleet of galleons in the Indian Ocean meant that Admiral Sefer Reis would often counter the larger Portuguese galleons by timing his rowed galley attacks against them so that they would be forced to sail against the wind. Thus separating one galleon from the rest of the fleet and defeating them in detail. Often his strategy would prove incredibly effective due to his ability to hug the coastline and evade the open sea.
Вхламинго Whilst you are correct that the more heavily armed galleons were far more durable in open sea, the idea that galleys were no match for them at all is a common myth. Contrastingly, the tactics employed by galley captains adjusted accordingly to deal with them. The strategy of Admiral Sefer Reis in the Indian Ocean during the 16th century is a testament to this.
Would recommend reading The Ottoman Age of Exploration by Giancarlo Casale. Specifically page 112 where he elucidates upon this further.
Вхламинго It is true that overall, large sailing ships proved more effective and durable in the long run, however Ottoman galleys definitely weren't powerless against Venetian galleons during the 16th century, and vice versa. The result of such engagements often varied depending on the amount of ships of either side, distance from the shore, wind strength and direction, and most importantly, the skill of each admiral to take advantage of these factors.
Вхламинго still ottomans won most of their battles against venice
@Adam Neuser Great explanation. Most peoples really thinks galleys always useless against galleons. This is really common myth.
Вхламинго
Not true. Countries with long and shallow coastlines used updated versions of galleys as late as the 18th century as far away as the Baltics.
We have a story/legend from this siege. It was said that when the part of the wall fell, 5 men jumped to fill the gap and held the line against 300-400 ottoman soldiers. The narrow passage was enough for them to hold the line while being wounded, this ended up giving the rest of the men a morale boost to keep fighting. Another story tells of 2 other artillery soldiers who held part of the wall alone with their spears killing several ottoman soldiers. Fun legends we managed to pull from the writtings of that time.
Good evening. Never heard anyone implying it is just legends, it was against 500 however. Besides, their names are recorded. One of these died, although I can’t recall which one at the moment:
- Sebastiam de Sá;
- António Pessanha;
- Bento Barbosa;
- Bartolomeu Corrêa;
- Master Joam, surgeon of Diu.
Best regards.

Proud to be portuguese,no matter what haters say..
plunders
VIVA PORTUGAL 🇵🇹🇵🇹🇵🇹
I'm proud that we share the Iberian Peninsula with the Portuguese
Saludos de España🇪🇦🇪🇦🇪🇦
É recíproco no que me toca 🙏
Deviamos ter lutado os dois no mar da india :P
The Portuguese always seem to amaze me the more I learn. They're basically the underdogs every time and still win like, half the time.
Imagin if we had the manpower...
@Trinitatis Sanctorvm "A power that surpasses Metal Gear"
@Trinitatis Sanctorvm
20-500 really ballsy men?
Not half the time, like 95% of the time, we were in no position to lose wars, usually when it did it meant the end .
@Zergle Jerk search the War of the League (1570-1574)
Now thats Portugal in its most ballsy mode
I live in India in a town named VASAI ( called BASSIEN by the Portugese) , my town was also captured by the Portuguese Admiral Nuno Da cuna and we also have Portuguese era Forts and churches in my town. Portuguese ruled in my town for 250 Years until the Marathas liberated it in 18th century.
Paulo Jorge Cruz Pereira Rodrigues Melo e Almeida yes
Your surname is portuguese. Honor your ancestors my friend!
@Lenowaver yes I am honoured!! They did many reforms in my town...when ever I visit any European countries ppl are surprised to find an Indian with a Portuguese surname.
@Lenowaver honor both of his ancestors you mean hehe
Marathas didnt liberated , portuguese just abandon it
Yeah!! Another video about Portuguese history! Thank you kings and generals for this, I know me and my fellow Portuguese always appreciate having our history told. Would love to see more about Portuguese adventures in Ethiopia!
Another great battle I'd like to see you guys cover is the siege of Cochin, that battle is one of my favorites in all of history simply because of the characters and just the drama of it all. But still thank you for this video.
Diu is still a major tourist destination in India. A must visit for anyone planning a trip to India.
Really, what impresses me most is that only 40 men remained able to fight in Diu at the end, yet the Portuguese managed to trick the numerically superior Ottomans to abandon the siege altogether. De Silviera was truly a master of warfare by deceit.
Вхламинго we take all balkans without casualties lol
@JÜPİTER birleşik gezegenleri That's just a silly claim
@goofygoon30 ahaha funny joke
Not gonna lie, as an indian
I never knew about it.
As an indian I'm ready impressed by the Portuguese. They did such great things so far way from their homeland. It's a true inspiration.
Ya ya, great things like the inquisition in Goa, you mean?
What happens when you have low population, & desire for science & tech.
They had the best navigation tech of the 1500s.
As a portuguese, im very sad that we lost all the importance that we had around the world, making all this sacrifices unworthit today
the secret of Portugal's success in the Ottoman confrontation was already having closed-back firearms. These cannons were very powerful. They fired five shots and with another kilometer longer in distance (one detail - 300 years later the Battle of Waterloo still used front loading cannons)
Great video!
I was actually expecting the 1509 battle when I saw Diu in the title. Due to the events that led to the battle, the battle itself and the repercusions in the geopolitics of the time after the battle I believe it's a much more interesting and important one in History knowledge.
Also Afonso de Albuquerque deserves it's own video. The things he did were just wild and wicked!
I am from Diu where the Battle was fought.
I never knew that on this land where I stand had encountered such a fierce battle.
Thank you for imparting education.
The Ottoman's forgot to turn off "fire at will" during the assault.
Lmao
hahahaaa
FUCK I just canister shot my own general, well gg I guess.
I made the same mistake when playing my Skaven campaign 😩
Empire campaign lol
Herois do Mar, Nobre Povo, Nacao Valente e Imortal. Portugal, SEMPRE...:)
I know that anthem. A friend of mine translated it for me. I get goose-bumps just writing this.
They maybe brave. But they were not immortal all the time, half of them were not heroes and noble.
Já cá faltavam os patrioteiros!
AMÉN IRMÃO
Portugal is a country of heroes and warriors that could very well be a saga of movies 🇵🇹
I love how the Portuguese casually had 400 ships in India in 1538 lol
Plundering a whole continent gives you enough resources to build that many ships. Then again they where ahead of the curve when it come to sea I guess
@Loneaxe Lol which whole continent? the Portuguese owned trade posts
Stolen by the British armada, after the death of Sebastião
@NapoleonBonaparte rally?
Hey Napoleon, Tipu Sultan need some help. He is fighting against the British
My god, that is a heroic defence. What absolute legends.
it's a beautiful video. as a Turk, I admire Portugal and the Portuguese 🇹🇷🤝🇵🇹
I admire them too. Years ago as a loudmouth no back-down youngster. I once helped a Portuguese guy get his old jalopy going after he stopped for me hiking on the road. We pulled away in his VW beetle and it stalled and wouldn't start. My oldman was a avid fan of VW Beetles and we owned six through the years. He was a part-time mechanic and taught me well. I just set the points and we were off. About 4 months later I was in a town away from home and picked up shit with 2 bullies but I pounded them both. Walking back to my friends house I saw them in 2 cars in a group of 8 getting out behind me and charging I laid out the first but the 2nd and 3rd bashed me too much and before the others got too close I gapped it across traffic with all these punks chasing me. Then I saw my Portuguese buddy and a friend driving by in the opposite direction with his eyes wide open looking at me. I couldnt stop because the ones chasing me were just like 7-8 m away. But my buddy turned the vw around and they came by shouting at me to get in. I jumped in and we got away but my buddy decided to turn back. As they were getting back in their cars we stopped by them, My buddy said wait here but I didnt. I got out with them and the 3 of us Pounded the CRAP out of 7 of them. 1 managed to get away with my buddy hot on his tail but he still got away. They helped me because I fixed his car with a screwdriver. We are still friends and even the guy who got away, we became friends later. He ended up marrying my sisters friend. A cute chick which I had an interest in but she had none for me. Good because I married a beautiful girl 4 years later with whom I have 4 children. She and I have till today not once argued about anything. I met her at another Portuguese friend of mine's house. She was his chick's best friend. I became an admirer of the Portuguese because many of them are upright no nonsense helpful friendly true friends and I love their history. I just love their amazing alone against the world history.
I’m Portuguese I know we had our differences in the past with the Turks but hopefully 🙏 we move on and try to get along and bring peace
@Wolraad Tuis my house is your house. If you ever come to Portugal let me know here. I will sort you out with a place to stay and a car to drive around. My respect and admiration to you my friend. 👏🏼💪🏼
👏👏👏what a beautiful message you posted
🇵🇹 🇹🇷 from Portugal
Hug from Portugal.
The time when Spices were the Oil of their century...
It seems that India needs some... freedom
Someone say "Oil?" Prepare your channel to be liberated. =)P
@R J A lot of wealth....
East Europe: I am going to pretend I didn't hear that !
The spice must flow!
@R J Western World ! What does East Europe have to do with that ? We were under Ottoman opression when Britain was making moves in India !
Great video. This is an area of history I know little about. I generally knew that the Portuguese had altered the trade routes of Asia away from the Arab world, and that it was a major reason for the long decline of the Ottoman Empire. This also caused a major shift in wealth to Europe. However, I have no idea of the people involved, the battles, and the process by which it was done.
It is fascinating. I look forward to more.
What an incredible subject! Portugal has a rich history of conquests in the Orient.
El Imperio portugués sobre todo defendía factorías y puertos para efectuar la compra de especies y la trata de esclavos.
No colonizaron ni exploraron grandes territorios en sus viajes.
Excepto Brasil la costa y Angola y Mozambique capturando y comprando negros para llevar a América o venderlos a los ingleses y holandeses mayoritariamente.
Legend says that the ottoman commander was a eunuch and that when he wrote the letter to Captain Silveira. The Portuguese captain replied. " Most honourable commander Pacha. May you know that behind these walls there are men with balls bigger than your cannonballs and they do not fear those who don't have them".
There is also the story of a Dutch priest that says that a portuguese soldier who ran out of bullets started shooting his own teeth
Yes. He was eunuch. "Hadım" is actually his nickname, which means eunuch in Turkish. His full name is Hadım Süleyman Paşa (Suleiman "Eunuch" Pasha)
@Jaif No. Servant is hizmetçi/hizmetli. Hadım means eunuch. Hadım etmek means to castrate someone.
As a Portuguese I enjoy this new series! But I will cry in the last episode
Nothing is comparable to Lepanto, that battle definitely decided the fate of the entire world 🌎🌍
Lepanto decided nothing after lepanto ottoman navy conquered create even raid England and Iceland
@19A_9155 Shanto inanmıyorum...
This battle is pointed as one of the most important in History because it crushed the economy of Muslim world, because after the fall of Constantinople the turks controlled the spice trade and made them and other muslims states top dogs, but after this battle in 1538 for the first time since 1453, the muslims lost all the trade from India because the Portuguese crushed them there and took over, that did put a halt on Ottomans conquests, there´s a document that claims the Ottomans wanted to push deeper into Europe along with other muslim states but ran out of money because of this Battle, they lost all their income to build armies and sustain campaigns.
“The Spice has great value to us. The spice must flow. That is...the law”

Cant wait to see more on the Portuguese-Ottoman wars! The Abyssinia campaign was EPIC! Looking forward to the next episode.
In Brazil we hardly learn about Portugal amazing exploits during the Age of Discovery, save for Cabral's discovery of the Brazilian lands and sometimes Vasco da Gama's voyage. We should learn more about Portugal's rich history!
Lol then you wonder why you have such a skewed view of the country. HIstory is written by the victors. No Brazilian politician would benefit from giving brazilians information that made Portuguese look good or powerful or enterprising..
To be honest, neither we Portuguese know about most of our military prowesses. The victory of Aljubarrota is very well known here , but it's an exception. Portugal's history school program is more politically than militarily oriented
Infelizmente o fim da monarquia brasileira levou a uma tendência política que dura até hoje, ano 2021, e que sempre procurou hostilizar a herança portuguesa através de um nacionalismo muito ativo que levou a uma manipulação do ensino da história. Esta manipulação fez crescer uma completamente contra-natura aversão a Portugal.
Oldest army in action, official since 1139 AD (means state militar forces); at the Lisbon foral by Afonso Henriques in 1179 and confirmed by Afonso II in 1214, at the end of the document there is the clause for naval officers and petintais (gear suppliers, from maritime to land). Since 1182 AD in África ops; first global army...from Lisbon to Nagasaki. Salute
Penso que desconhecemos muito porque além de ser um vastíssimo compêndio histórico, desde peças (hj de museu, ex: a maior colecção de arte japonesa antiga é em Lisboa, o Museu do Oriente) a documentos até ao acervo das cidades, portos de mar, países, exércitos, bla, é também necessário entender em que lugar da narrativa se encontram os vários pontos de observação. Mas acredito que se pode sempre melhorar. Abc
they don't teach you this in Brazil because the far Left took over academia in Brazil 70 years ago.
Thanks for your work.
As a Portuguese, it's really cool to see such quality vídeos about my country's history.
I mean, you just DON’T get great historical content like this anymore. There are only a few other channels which I hold in the same regard as y’all. Great video as always, looking forward to more.
Something this channel has taught me is that for all the focus we tend to give to outnumbered forces sacrificing themselves for their cause, it seems we often overlook the small garrisons that have won against rediculous odds.
As an indian,i never knew this happened until few days ago,and you guys showed it to me in full detail,thanks
You're joking right ?
@COGS Nope
Vidit Patel Indians also have a revisionist history
Many states, many histories, even more variations of those histories-\*shrugs*
Vidit Patel But i love history,but this ottoman thingy can be only found in oxford books but our school changed from the famous oxford to the shi**y ncert,and actually a lot of indians like it but again its just the minority which loves history,not the majority.
Thank you so much for making videos on India. Please continue to do so, no one makes such high quality material on India as you guys do !
Yes!!!! Thank you love the Portuguese history. Keep posting more Portuguese videos!!!
More on the way!
Portuguese sailors were Legendary....
Kings and Generals yesssssss. Thank you 😊
luis marques Viva Portugal sempre!!!!
@luis marques really but Ottomans were best
Another great video! If someone is interested in more information on this topic I highly recommend Conquerors by Roger Crowley. Its a great book on history of Portuguese exploration and covers this battle also.
I hope we see the Adal-Abyssinian/Ottoman-Portuguese war next! One of the most underrated conflicts of all time. Don't disappoint us K&G!
i hope to see that too!
You will be disappointed, it's not what you learned in school. The Somalis didn't expelled the portuguese. Somalia was just too poor for the portuguese to bother.
The Portuguese attack of Diu in 1509 wasnt planned.
That attack occurred when the joint Mamluk-Gujarat navy attack Cochin in 1508 and killed Lourenço de Almeida, the son of Francisco de Almeida the 1st Viceroy of India.
For 3 days he mourned the death of his son, when he approach his men he said:
"He who ate the chick must also eat the rooster or pay for it".
Refusing to accept the orders of his King by giving the position of Viceroy to Afonso de Albuquerque, due to Francisco's hate for him as Afonso was responsible to intercept any Muslim fleet coming out of the Red Sea and die to the fact that Francisco wanted to personally destroy the Mamluk fleet.
Before moving his navy to Diu he wrote a letter to the captain of Diu, Malik Ayyaz:
"I the Viceroy say to you, honored Meliqueaz captain of Diu, that I go with my knights to this city of yours, to take the people who were welcomed there, who in Chaul fought my people and killed a man who was called my son, and I come with hope in God of Heaven to take revenge on them and on those who assist them, and if I don't find them I will take your city, to pay for everything, and you, for the help you have done at Chaul. This I tell you, so that you are well aware that I go, as I am now on this island of Bombay, as he will tell you the one who carries this letter."
P. S. : Don't underestimate the love of a father for his son.
Didn't this happen in the second siege of Diu?
@Ustanik Francisco de Almeida died in 1509 or 1510 so no...
The Battle of Diu 1509 was a Portuguese counterattack of the Mamluk-Gujarat attack in Chaul in 1508.
The 2nd siege of Diu (in 1546), Diu was in Portuguese hands since 1536, the first siege was in 1538.
Gujarat, with Ottoman support, had an army of 10.000 soldiers vs the Portuguese 440 men, receiving reinforcements, near the end of the siege, of 3.000 soldiers including Indian (hindu) militias. As soon the fleet arrived they bombarded the enemy and they had to retreat.
The Portuguese always had cities like Goa and Diu bcz those cities were basically islands extremely defensable by using cannons of the ships to disperse the enemy.
Why sultan of gujrat lost ......
The reason was Bahadur shah of Gujrat was facing hardships. He went on war with mewar, malwa sultanate, Deccan sultanate ,Mughals and kept on expanding his kingdom. Bahadur shah went to deal with Potugese was assasinated and thus sultanate falling end started .Many years before Mahmud Begada defeated Portugese with the iron hand known as battle of chaul.
As Francisco de Almeida watched the city burn, he said "no torch was lit on your funeral. Today, I lit up this city for you, my son"
@Luzitanium Agree, a movie realized by Riddley Scott on this subject would be epic.
Vasco Da Gama, Afonso de Albuquerque and Tristão Da Cunha all tried to permanently capture Somali port cities of Adal and Ajuuraan but received so much resistance that they sailed towards India instead and knighted themselves for surviving the Somali battles. A few years later Cristóvão da Gama died protecting Abyssinia from Adal.
Looking forward to the next video.
Afonso and Tristão, dont murder my language pls
@Nuno Amaro nao sei se sabes mas os nomes são diferentes em diferentes línguas
@Rogério Antunes os nomes de portugueses são em português não são noutra lingua qualquer
Nuno Amaro first time? (I’m irish)
@Caellum O'Cinneide No
I've recently finished the book "Conquerors" by Roger Crowley and I feel very happy that all the things I read there appeared in this video :D
The Abyssinia-Adal War series will be great!
There is a legend about a portuguese musketeer who risked his own life to kill Ahmad Gragn (the Adal sultan), because the Emperor of Ethiopia promised to gave his sister in marriage to any man who could kill Gragn.
João de Castilho was the name of this mysterious portuguese hero, who died after killing Gragn.
Amazing! I knew about the Portuguese help to Ethiopians against Somalis, they even thought the Ethiopian Emperor was Prester John, but I didn't know about this story
@PTLemon lol
I hope they cover the Ajuuran Portuguese conflict aswell since that is just as interesting
Makes sense, Ethiopian chicks are smoking hot
Portugal is one of those countries that were a quiet powerhouse.
They have their skeletons in the closet too, but they deserve alot of glory.
Jdaello didn’t everyone do that?
In the ocean we can say Portugal was the dominant power at this period (doing all of this so fram from home at this period kinda shows it), while Spain was the dominand power at land. Pre 1580 that is, the Iberian Union made the Spanish crown the undisputed super power and by irony the event that would turn Portugal after a second rate power and slowly fade away in history.
Jdaello If you try and look at history through modern morality, you will always be offended.
Now go annoy someone else.
@FaithRox "modern morality", that's like "subjective" or something right? weren't you guys supposed to be the "objective" alphamales calling the others snowflakes and such? buy a mirror
@upublic What are you rambling about?
Wow, again a surprisingly well-done video I can't believe I never learnt about this in my history books... 😅
The Battle of Diu of 1509 was by far more important that 1538 and changed the world. The vice-king Francisco de Almeida lost his son in a previous battle and went crazy. He grab all the boats and attacked the coalition of ottomans, egypcians and venetians. He was so crazy that he killed every single enemy he could catch as a cruel revenge. Afonso Alburquerque was even arrested before he could substitute Francisco de Almeida - because he wanted to led the attack. Francisco de Almeida was killed returning to Portugal in Mozambique.
Im from diu, have been to the diu fort many times, its still treacherous to attack it even by todays standards the engineering is something else. One of the bastion overlooks the the ocean unhindered massive midieval cannons still lie there overlooking the ocean, looking at the huge cannons it could fire at a ship a kilometre away easily.
Portuguese design....
@luis marques yup still a very impressive design, they also used many indian designs like pike studded doors to prevent elephants from ramming it.
@Vishal Parekh that's the difference between portugal and other colonial powers we actually tried to learn from other cultures and actively incentivised interracial marriage it's just extremely infuriating people judging every colonial nation in the same light as the french and the brits
Can’t wait for the next episode. Finally a bit of Ottoman history in the Horn of Africa and for the first time I get to see from European sources the history of the Somali Sultanates. 🇸🇴 💪🏿🙌🏿💪🏿💪🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿
Portuguese involvement in Ethiopia, Somalia, Quénia, Tanzania and the Omani empire wars.
Dont worry ALLAH with us my brother turkey began to return to the old Ottoman glorious power will be again in 2030 🇹🇷🤝🇸🇴
Very well made, Kudos to everyone that made it possible 👍
Great video! It was nice to learn about a topic in Ottoman history that is rarely covered.
*the thumbnail of this video has the portrait of Selim II and not Suleyman I which I found odd.
You should research about Afonso de Albuquerque, a great warrior, the lion of the seas, the terrible, the portuguese mars! Lots of streets in his name here in Portugal
Im a lover of history! Ive watched almost all the videos man..i recommend you guys to upload the American civil war too..love to know the history especially with your animation..Looking forward to it..❤️❤️
Would love to see more content on the Mamluks as well!! Especially the first Battle of Diu.
Os Portueses foram os primeiros Europeus a chegar ao Japão!
The Portuguese were the first Europeans to arrive in Japan!
Levaram uma arma de fogo que os japoneses não conheciam!
they took a firearm that the Japanese did not know!
Good old Portugal.... love as always from the UK.
Hi, greetings from Portugal
Love from Pakistan.
600 years later here we are 😉 and toghether we stand
Our oldest ally
By the way thanks for the archers in Lisbon conquering. Quite a forgotten help that so much influence in our push against the moors.
Love your videos. They're well animated and well explained.
Great video keep it up.
I didn't knew that Ottomans ever fought on India soil , against Portuguese. Whether one hate or love Portuguese , they are stylish hell warrior fighters
why would you hate the Portuguese?? - and why not the British??
@Silvério Rebelo some people hate Portuguese ,some British and some both
Den k Then again, seems India struggled a lot during english domain. It is said just during WW2, tens of thousands of indians died because britain demanded forced labour to produce enough cotton and rice for the british gear and rations.
Ali Rahman & hence Somali piracy
@Fábio Costa Tens of thousands?.. 4 million civilians Indian died at home due to British policy induced artificial famine!!!
Thank you for your effort. I am so proud of being Turk and having a great history. Regarding to this clip, it was hard to manage these territories, Balkans, Anatolia against Safavid(Persian guys), Arabic peninsula against Memluks (another Turkish tribe), Aegean sea against for Europeans. It is an additional information, Turkish people are mixture of previous tribes, communities, cultures, entities that were Sumerians, Hitits, East Roman Empire, Turkish tribes from ASIA, a bit Persian, Arabs. For example, mother of the Sultan II. Mehmet who was the conquer of Constantinople ( city of Constantine) was Christian, and keeper was Serbian. Ottoman empires adopted to being successor of Eastern Roman Empire. Sultan II. Mehmet(conquer) was planning to capture Rome, Italy. lol. but he died when going to campaign.
@Jax georgians and circassian mamlukes as well
@Kaan Korkmaz yes there were other Mameluke dynasties of other ethnicities. But Bahri dynasty was Turkic. Sultan Qutuz and Baibars were Kipchak.
I'm from gujrat diu is 200 km from my home town it's controlled by central government now here is the fun part. In my state gujrat drinking alcohol or beer is illegal so we gujrati people go diu for drinking. Yap there is a European style church and castle .
Sorry to hear that
@CareerCrackAddict thank Gandhi
Will Black for not getting us alcohol in our state. I. Think
@parsadiya bharat but thats partially good as well😂😂
Wait, is your state Muslim?!
This is fascinating stuff. I've been to both Daman and Diu and had heard of the Portuguese battles with 'Muslim forces' but never realized they were talking about the Ottomans. I always thought they were referring to the Shah of Gujarat.
Secondly, the similarity between this battle and the battle of Constantinople is astounding. The use of chains between islands, Ottoman Janniseries, Ottomans breaching the wall and almost on the verge of victory. The only difference between Constantinople and Diu was that in Constantinople, the relief from the papal states never came and Ottomans despite being on the last stretch were not pressed for time. Here they had a time crunch and they mistook a small fleet as a relief fleet and fled.
Thank you for the fantastic video. This channel is a gem!
Hi! Thank you for creating such a rich content like this. I would love to be able to create content like this, and i was wondering what is your sources of research, is it mainly The Great Courses Plus website or do you have more than one source, if it's no secret? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Keep making content like this!
Portugal ruled the waves first before the brits
I love to see my country in these videos! More Portugal videos please!
This is so high quality work. Amazing. Thank you for the history lessons
look up *Battle of Villanueva de Barcarrota* and learn real history. Cheers
@Leonor Sousa Childish bitterness...LOLOLOL
@Ar Af Yet again, you described yourself perfectly. Cheers
@Leonor Sousa This Leonor Sousa is not who she seems to be. She is a troll who nurtures racist ideas against Portugal and the Portuguese.
He or she does not deserve a joule of our energy except to be exposed and embarrassed as being someone very intolerant.
Nothing is stopping the Portuguese from their spices, not even the Ottomans
THE SPICE MUST FLOW
@Osman Gazi Erhmn let's see.....China, Russia, Britain, Germany, Italy and USA to name a few
@Osman Gazi kardeş şu tavrı romantikliği bir bırakın
@Osman Gazi uhhh the Roman Empire did what the Ottomans couldn't
@Osman Gazi Yeah, except the many other empires which did it and more.
Eu costumo dizer que Portugal herdou o espírito naval e explorador dos fenícios. De fato, Portugal tinha um estilo de dominação semelhante ao fenício. No jogo Civilizations VI, o Rei Dom João III e suas feitorias instaladas mundo afora até viraram meme!
Ya. Também costumo pensar o mesmo. Até parece que na altura os tugas se inspiraram na historia dos fenícios.
Outstanding content and informative as always. Thank you
Right, now i want a colonial portuguese series.
And an episode about the expel of the french from Rio de Janeiro, with the Araribóia night attack.
That eould be awesome, indeed
@ComradeKenobi reddit
I Agree! The conquest of Rio de Janeiro.
Arariboia and his two cannon against the portuguese governor Estácio de Sá!
Estácio who died on the battle of the conquest of Rio de Janeiro!
@G博远 Actually Arariboia fought with the portuguese against the french. And for his assistance received the region of Niterói, and his descendants still exist today
@Marcus Vinicius Magalhães de Almeida you are right, I wrote Arariboia but I was thinking in Cunhambebe. Sorry
this series is getting better and better!! keep 'em commin'!
Great video!
Would also love to see a video about Duarte Pacheco Pereira, a famous portugese Admiral who fought and won many battles against the odds :) especially in Calicut at the very same time.
Would you give it a thought??
So Portugal fought the Ottomans in India. Colonial wars are fun!
entishar the Balkans kinda sound like a colony to me
Don't mind me, just wanna passing by
entishar its one and the same
I'd pay for some American Indian War battles.
entishar couldn't you say the same about the British and India?
Just for the record, Portugal had in that time a 150 years advanced navy, ballistic and combat sea tactics for the all Europeans who thought are something in the world, infortunaly we had a mad Habsburg king that lost a ridiculous battle in North Africa, a king loser as his germanic blood of losers in great decisive battles, so the problem of Portugal was to let that German real house toke of over of the Portuguese royal house, when we came again to the game after more then 60 years after kick the Habsburgs asses, the British and the Dutch already toke advantage in India, Japan and China, but we still were the longest empire when Macau returned to China in 1999, I'm sure the Americans can't beat this record, or other empire that came, unless the Portuguese bild another empire to break their own record. :)
Love Ottoman history. Cant wait for the one between the Somali Adal sultanate and Abyssinian forces. Please also consider doing a video on the Portuguese and Ajuran wars.
Portuguese in Japan, India, China, Brazil, Cape Verde, Mozambique, OMG.
And SriLanka, Indonesia, South Africa, Angola, Persian Golf, Guinea, Molucas....
and Australia, US, Canada...
YES YES YES! FINALLY AN ENGLISH NARRATION ABOUT PORTUGAL AT ITS PEAK!!! Don't you think this is better movie material than most movies already made?
Sad that they still can't figure out the difference between Alfonso and Alfonso
venezianos e turcos só tiveram aquilo que mereceram, o que um pai faz por vingança 🇵🇹
Verdade, eu admiro Portugal pela sua ousadia. Os venezianos foram uns mercenários e lembre-se que eles tiveram culpa da queda Constantinopla, apartir da quarta cruzada abrindo espaço para a conquista pelos turcos.
Vc assistiu o video do imperios ad ?
Aí é a batalha de Diu de 1509, o vídeo é sobre o cerco de Diu de 1538
Aí é a batalha de Diu de 1509, o vídeo é sobre o cerco de Diu de 1538
Battle Alqacer Qibir 1578 was a Turkish Portuguese Rivality too.
These time in North Africa
The Ottomans was there with Yanissaries and Cannons.
The Ottomans supported a Side
And Portugues supported a Side
Portugal lost not only Influence in Morocco, they lost their King and their Independence to Spain for 60 years.
Ottomans where the Superior Continental Power and Portugal Maritime Power at these Time.
Alfonso de Albuqerque's main goal was to reach Mecca through the Red Sea and exchange the Corpses of the Prophet Mohammed and Mecca for Jerusalem. In Terms of Trade, too, he had aims to bring the spice trade to Portugal via the Mediterranean Sea and North Africa. These goals could no longer be achieved after the emergence of the Ottomans as the successor to the Mameluks. The Priority of the Turks was the Land and the Security of the Red Sea & Aden. The Portuguese put their Priority on the Trading Posts and Fortresses on the High Sea.
As a Gujarati thank you for not using anglicised 'Cambay'. The correct name is Khambhat.
Does anyone actually even say Cambay anymore? I've only ever heard it as Khambhat. But it feels bad when people say "Broach" instead of "Bhrigukachchha" or "Seringapatam"instead of "Srirangapatnam"
@Vantablanc They do. People who are not as well informed about the vernacular or indigenous names use anglicised names. Like the Ganges instead of Ganga, etc.
Have only heard of these fights in brief instants. Thank you for the new stuff to learn about!
This seems like a great video. And I can tell that the conflict between these two empires is going to be a fun set of video's. When is the next video on the Imjin War. My compliments to all those who made this video a reality.
Originally Bombay is Portuguese city burhan shah of nizam dynasty gifted this city to Garcia who was his physician !
Certo, correto, and your second name is portuguese, Sousa. abraço de Portugal
Another thing you ignore about Portugal is that Lisbon was one of the 10 biggest cities in the world during the XVI, XVII and XVIII centuries.
A recommendation: Please don't occupy the subtitles space to show movements of battles, it can be annoying for those who don't know english as much as others.
Thanks! And long live K&G!
Miguel Quezada I use full screen in such cases it works for me the subs does not get in the way
Can you make few episodes on modern wars India fought? For example 1965 war between India and Pakistan had the distinction of having largest tank battles after WW2.
Although I am a Turk, I heard about this siege for the first time. Thank you so much.
5 ships removed put-a-ships army. 😃
A "turk" at that time on that context is something very away from a turk from the turkish nation like a country...crossed it from Istambul to Trabzon, lovely place, great people. Salute
This channel is such an interesting and informative for those with taste of history, keep up good work.
Thank you Kings and Generals! Please make more videos about wars in Eastern Europe and about Russia.
Astonishing work of art and historical description
Thanks in deed
It's truly amazing to see the scale and scope on which the Portuguese and ottomans were conducting this protracted conflict. You would think it counts as the "first" truly "global war"... (Of course, though, this is not the first conflict inwhich major powers fought using far away proxies).
Correct, some historians call the portuguese - otoman wars the truly first global war. The otomans had with the French an alliance, read French war in Brazil about the same time. So basically battles occur between the portuguese and the Turks in Europe, Africa, Brazil and all over Asia. Some historians consider the Dutch - portuguese war as the truly first global war in the world.
I can't wait for either a series on the Dutch-Portuguese War or The War of The Spanish Succession since they've been doing my favorite war, The Thirty Years' War. (says I with a picture of Maurits van Oranje)
Thank you for stories about lesser known conflicts such as these
Thank you fot all these video's on Ottoman history! There is so much to learn about the Empire's activities that we have to learn thanks to you (rather than Turkish sources).
As an Indian, Battle of Diu and Ottoman involvement is news ! wow awesome content
I have visited the diu fort recently . Ottoman weapons are there in the fort
