FARINHA (António Dias). A DUPLA Conquista de Ormuz por Afonso de Albuquerque. Lisboa. 1989. - FARINHA (António Dias) A DUPLA Conquista de Ormuz por Afonso de Albuquerque . Lisboa: Studia, 1989. pp. 445-47: il.; 235 mm. Offprint from the journal Stvdia , no. 48 (1989), a publication of the Institute of Tropical Scientific Research, in which António Dias Farinha analyzes the two-stage process of the conquest of Hormuz by Afonso de Albuquerque: the first submission of the kingdom, in 1507, with the establishment of a fortress and the recognition of Portuguese sovereignty, followed by the effective loss of control over the island, and the definitive reconquest in 1515, which consolidated Portuguese dominion over this strategic point at the entrance to the Persian Gulf. Hormuz, a key trading post between Persia, India, and the Middle East, was central to the architecture of the fortresses with which Afonso de Albuquerque sought to control the maritime routes of the Indian Ocean, and the double episode of its conquest remains one of the most studied moments of the early Portuguese presence in Asia. ⚑ Auto-translated via Google Translate
