Sinossi
Excerpt from Library of Universal History and Popular Science, Vol. 8 of 25: Containing a Record of the Human Race From the Earliest Historical Period to the Present Time
The illustrious Dom Alfonso Albuquerque, the next Portuguese vice roy in the East, notwithstanding the hostility of the Mohammedan rulers of India, obtained a grant of ground from one of the Hindoo princes, and founded a strong fort at Cochin in 1503, where the Portu guese had established factories; and this stronghold became the cradle of the great commercial empire of the Portuguese, whose power was f elt from China to the Red Sea. The Mohammedans, who had hitherto engrossed the entire commerce of India, formed a league to expel the Portuguese, and were encouraged therein by the Venetians, who pur chased Indian spices and other goods from the Arabs, with which they supplied the principal markets of Europe; but this enterprise was defeated.
