Yeah, too small for such big dreams. In terms of population and resources, the smallest maritime power during the Age of Discovery. That such a tiny country, with a tiny population, and tiny natural resources, was able to be the forerunner of European overseas expansion and then build such sprawling and long-lasting empire is simply mindboggling. Sooner or later, the Dutch, the French, the Spanish and the English would stake their claim. But, alas, adjusted for its size, Portugal had indeed a massive impact on the world - the first westerners to reach Tibet and Japan (which forever altered the history of Japan), the first westerners to arrive to South America (yeah, because the Caribbean are in Central America), the first to circumnavigate the whole of massive Africa, and so on...today, Portuguese is one of the most spoken languages in the world (at number 6, by native speakers); among European languages, only Spanish and English surpass Portuguese. And, what comes next on this series (the Battle of Diu), will forever change the dynamics of power in the world - if the global center of power in this age was in the hands of eastern powers, Diu will change it to western powers. Diu was indeed one of the most important maritime battles ever...and all because a father lost his son...

@@lfsm9380 Tiny resources is a myth, due to the bad second half of 20th century economy, when Europe was growing with the billions of the post WW2 Marshall Plan, Portugal avoid the Marshal (in propotion) and spent all in building new Angola and Mozambique. The rest was spent in a too long time war alone against almost 10 countries. Because, Iberia in the last 2.000 years was always richer than the rest of Europe. In fact was the only region to escape the Great Famine and famine is the worst state of poverty! Of course the Media Guilds with the Iberia black legend always tried to blacken Catholic countries and especially Portugal because they always believed that cutting the Brazilian cultural roots with Portugal, they would conquer Brazil and vampirize their entire resources. Portugal exported all kind of foods to England, especial wine, Porto Wine, that needs rich resources, just see the recent movies Damsel and you see a rich land called Portugal.

The Battle of Diu in 1509 marked a shift in power and the beginning of the dominance of Europeans, first the Portuguese, then the Dutch and then the French and the British, over the world seas. The number of books on military history such as ‘50 Battles That Changed the World’ by William Weir, ‘Moment of Battle: The Twenty Clashes That Changed the World’ by James Lacey, ‘The Fifteen Decisive Battles of the World: From Marathon to Waterloo’ by Edward Creasey among others, all agree that the Battle of Diu changed the course of world history. It is as important as the battles of Waterloo and Trafalgar! Surprisingly, such an important battle has been forgotten in India and even in Europe! With the Battle of Diu, the Arab World Fell, the Mediterranean World Fell, the Medieval World Fell, the old Poor, Closed Europe World Fell! The Old Theoric Dogmas Fell! The Old Little World Fell! For the First Time a New Planet Born, a Planet called Earth, where all the globe knew their own planet, new cultures, histories, peoples and new civilizations. From a continent full of fears, myths, famines and uncertainties born a new modern. advanced and powerful continent, that would lead the world until nowadays, a continent called Europe!

1. Europe was not as isolated as you think. Merchants from Genoa and Venice setup various trading posts in faraway land, such as in Istanbul, Alexandria, Jaffa, Crimea, etc. They have diplomatic relation/contact with the Ottoman Empire, Golden Horde, Persia, Delhi Sultanate, and even Ming Dynasty. And not just the Italians, but the English, the Dutch, and the Germans too. They have trading posts in Scandinavia, Northern Russia, Kazan, Volga region, all the way to Caspian sea and Persia. 2. Europe by late 15th and early 16th century was not full of "old dogma, fears, and myths". The richest regions in Europe (Northern Italy, The Netherlands, Northwestern Germany, Burgundy, etc) were on par with the richest regions in Asia (Hindustan, Yellow river valley, etc). Renowned European philosophers, artists, and inventors from that time (e.g. Geoffrey Chaucer, Nicolaus Copernicus, Francis Bacon, Rene Descartes, etc) were not inferior to their Arab, Chinese, Persian, or Indian counterparts. 3. *What the Europeans could not participate (on large scale) up to that point was the maritime trade in Indian ocean, and that's it.* Just like Chinese and Indian traders could not participate directly (on large scale) in Mediterranean trade. The value of Indian trade was just as large (or larger) than Mediterranean trade, so those with access to both (i.e. the Arabs) naturally have significant advantage over those who don't. However, later on, Atlantic trade and Northern European trade grow rapidly in value (due to the literal mountain of gold and silver in the Americas, the advancement in banking & finance, agricultural revolution, gradual mechanization, etc), allowing countries like the Netherlands, England, and France to catch up quickly.

Arabs and Asian traders used to say that Europe was so poor that the only product that allowed profit was the European slaves, afterall what the word "slave" means?

@@binalcensored2104 1. _"no European went to China, even the only case of Marco Polo is being proved as just a tale"_ Nope. This video mentioned *Gaspar Da Gama,* who was born in Germany (or Poland) and travelled all the way to India. He served Gujarati ruler, and then defected to the Portuguese. There were at least like couple dozens of people like him by the end of 15th century. Mostly merchants, but also pilgrims, captives, etc from Europe who travelled to the Holy Land and beyond. Remember that during Dias' expedition to find the Cape of Good Hope, the King of Portugal also sent like half dozen agents to travel to India using land route (proving that they know about these land routes). Look, we have records of various merchants and travelers from Europe (mostly from Eastern Roman Empire, not from Western Europe) who visited China, as early as 1000 AD, like a group of Jewish merchants called "Radhanites". Also papal legates Giovanni del Carpine send by the Papacy as an envoy to Mongol Empire in 1245, decades before Marco Polo, and more.. You can Google them. --- 2. _"Europe was extremely poor and full of famines."_ Nope. Think about it, if Europe was so poor, how the princes of Europe can afford Crusade, and keep pouring men and resources to that meatgrinder for centuries? If Europe was so poor, how European towns and cities built all those great cathedrals, which are on par with the glittering temples, mosque, and mausoleums of the East? That being said, Europe was indeed "poor" during the chaotic fall of Roman Empire (~400 AD), up to the beginning of the Viking Age (~800 AD). But by the start of Renaissance Europe was no longer poor. By the start of 16th century, the richest regions in Europe (Northern Italy and Northwestern Europe) were about on par with the richest regions of Asia. --- 3. _"Arabs and Asian traders used to say that Europe was so poor that the only product that allowed profit was the European slaves. Only after the rich spice trade and most of all only after the many tons of gold and silver that came from Brazil and South America, Europe stared to being rich.."_ Lol. Not true. If you look at history, since Bronze Age (~1500 BC), there were certain commodities from Western Europe which were highly prized in the East, things like copper and zinc (which later contributed to the Bronze Age collapse). By 1500, various commodities such as utensils, glass products (both clear and tinted), as well as more common commodities such as olive oil, ointment, herbs and spices (Google "Paprika"), wool, linen, naval supplies (ropes, sails, nails, etc), parchment, paper (introduced to Europe in 1300s), etc were quite popular. Within Europe, commodities like wood, wine, beer & ale, amber, jewelries, furniture, furs, salted pork, machine tools, military equipment, etc were commonly traded. Just think about it, if there were little trade in Europe due to lack of goods or otherwise (and therefore no profit to be made), how come Northern Italy and Northwestern Europe develop such advanced financial tech? Like *modern accounting, central bank, stock exchange, chartered company, modern insurance, etc all invented in Europe.* --- 4. _"Only after products as the potatoe and all that came afterwards the famines started to calm down."_ Potato is very efficient in term of calorie per sq meter, but the notion that Europe was "full of famines" before introduction of potato (in comparison to other regions/countries of the period) is *utter BS.* Google "countries by population in 1500", you'll find many European countries in the top 20, with Holy Roman Empire in 3rd place, and France 4th place. Think about it, Kingdom of France actually had larger population (16M) than the mighty Ottoman Empire (14M), and the population of Spain (9M) was almost twice that of Mamluk Egypt (5.5M). FYI Ottoman Empire control most of Mesopotamia (so-called "the fertile crescent" along Euphrates), while Mamluk Egypt ofc control Nile Delta (said to be one of the most fertile region on Earth). So, nope, fact is, Europe is fertile and very productive, especially Southern England and the Netherlands, which later lead the so-called "Agriculture Revolution" in 17th century.
