A historical summary of the formation and maintenance of Portuguese maritime dominance in the East throughout the 16th century, published by the Agência Geral das Colónias, the official organ of the Estado Novo regime dedicated to disseminating the history and current affairs of the colonial empire. It traces the process of conquering the main strongholds and trading posts of the State of India and the military and naval organization that allowed the Portuguese to maintain, for more than a century, the so-called ”mastership of the sea” in the Indian Ocean, in a context of growing competition from other European powers. ⚑ Auto-translated via Google Translate
