Hello guys! I see many comments about the term "discover" that was used. Of course, the title is created around Vasco Da Gama, and intends to show from this perspective how he managed to get to India. I also used the word "discover" in the thumbnail, in quotation marks, to show some sarcasm about the term, because the Indian culture and civilization have existed for thousands of years since ancient times, and have existed in various forms of states until contact with the Portuguese. So the title wants to summarize how and in what way Vasco Da Gama managed to reach the territories of India, and in no case does it refer to territories that were unknown until then. Cheers!

I'm from Calicut. The Portuguese kept on coming after da Gama's first trip in 1498. The wars went on for next 100 years. The Zamorin or King of Calicut did succeed in pushing out the Portuguese from what is today Kerala. Portuguese power remained limited to Goa till 1961. But the wars with Portuguese were extremely expensive for Calicut. Calicut lost all it's power and influence on the Indian west coast and it led to the ultimate rise of the Travancore Kingdom. Remember that by then the British also arrived and they made good use of the weakened Indian kings to control the entire country.

I really like how you compliment Portugal’s “variety of skills.” It’s easy to think this was geographically necessarily so: Portugal sits on the edge of Europe staring into a massive, then-unknown ocean. Of course they gravitated towards exploring. But then I thought, no, their geographical position is not deterministic. Thinking about Japan as the Asian analogue to Portugal - on the edge of that other, even vaster ocean - the Japanese did not develop into the explorers the way Europeans did. Japan, for most of its history, looked inward onto itself for its economic and cultural needs, whereas the European nations looked outward. I’m sure the European nations’s close proximity to each other, which bred rivalry and competition for resources, is a major factor in the difference, but it’s still interesting to notice that the East Asian societies never cultivated exploration as a cultural trait.

Interesting video, although with some very basic mistakes (the King of Vasco da Gama was Manuel I, not John II, as he had died in 1495, and Vasco da Gama was actually elected viceroy of India by King John III), but the most important achievement of his voyage is not mentioned here; the first inter-oceanic voyage in human history. Up until that point, it was believed that inter-oceanic travel was virtually impossible. When Vasco da Gama arrived at the Indian Ocean, the Arabs, who had been sailing in that Ocean for hundreds of years before the Portuguese arrived there, were surprised to see them entering from the Atlantic. This massive feat of navigation changed the view of the world, and it proved that oceans could be sailed from one another. This allowed the Portuguese to be the first people to establish global maritime trade routes. By 1514, the Portuguese had managed to establish sea routes between Europe, West Africa, Canada, Brazil, East Africa, around to the Persian Gulf, the Red Sea, China and SE Asia, whilst the Spanish and Italian navigators for instance, only knew how to navigate between Europe and America. It was thanks to this voyage, that other future European voyages were made possible; for instance, the Spanish were only able to sail to Asia thanks to Magellan, who showed how to do inter-oceanic travel via the Pacific. Without the expertise of a Portuguese navigator (who were the only ones qualified for inter-oceanic travel), they would have never participated in the first circumnavigation of the world, and the same goes for the Dutch and English, who were only able to sail to Asia 100 years later thanks to maps they got from the Portuguese. It’s a shame that there seem to be some haters here spreading lies about this voyage. It was a groundbreaking voyage that allowed world travel to be made possible via sea, and ultimately connected the western hemisphere to the eastern hemisphere for the first time via a direct line, bypassing the middle East and the Red sea. It also greatly expanded the knowledge Europeans had of India and Asia as a whole. People claim here that India was already known, but in reality, the knowledge Europeans had of India and Asia as a whole was still very primitive. In 1415, date which kickstarted the Portuguese expansion, the most up to date map of the world done in Europe was the Italian de Virga world map, which looked something like this: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/De_Virga_world_map#/media/File:DeVirgaDetail.jpg As you can see, the Atlantic Ocean, Africa, India and the Indian Ocean, as well as Asia, are practically unrecognizable. Despite Marco Polo's voyages to the far East, it was still a rather unknown continent. Africa was believed to end in Western Sahara, and they still believed that the garden of Eden was somewhere hidden in it, and Asia was believed to be a continent with a completely different shape and size. As for the Atlantic and Indian Oceans, they were both considered to be unsalaible from one another, since Europeans believed that the lands below the Equator were too hot because of the sun. Fast forward to 1502, and the world now looked like this: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cantino_planisphere#/media/File:Cantino_planisphere_(1502).jpg This is called the Cantino map, which is the name of the Italian spy who stole the official map from Lisbon. This is considered to be the first precursor map of the modern world, done by the Portuguese explorations and navigations. Almost everything to the east of the Tordesillas map was cartographed by the Portuguese, which for the first time in human history started to show Africa, Asia, the Atlantic and Indian Ocean closer to the size and shape that we now know of them today, except for eastern Asia which the Portuguese would arrive in 1509. This is yet another important piece of information that is widely unknown in the world, and the true extent of the knowledge of the world was only possible thanks in part to the voyage of Vasco da Gama. A lot of references seem to be made to highlight the fact that other voyages of exploration had been made before, by Romans, Greeks, Arabs, Chinese, etc, but take into account that the Portuguese explorations were the first to revolutionize the knowledge of the world from the medieval view to the modern view, and brought more knowledge to Europe of Africa, India, China, Japan, South East Asia, the Atlantic Ocean and Indian Ocean, than all previous explorations in world history combined.

The Portugese were the most influential European power in India for 100 years from 1500 - 1600. Almeida's Cartage system gave them the control over Indian Ocean and Arabian sea. They had the strongest navy on the world at the time. They annexed Goa in 1510 from Bijapur Sultanate and they controlled almost all port cities in the Western coast from Malabar to Gujrat at some point of time. They initially supported Bahadur Shah of Gujrat vs Humayun and later killed Gujrat Sultan in 1537 in a ship. They had settlements in Eastern coast also. But they involved in large scale piracy and slave trade which invited the fury of Mughals who ousted them from Hooghly. Later British and Marathas defeated then everywhere. Interesting point to note- Bombay was given as dowry by the Portuguese to the British when Portuguese Princess was married to Britain.

Vasco da Gama's tomb was in our state kerala. A few months ago, the Portuguese government took it back from here

Good video. Just a side comment to those unfamiliar with portuguese pronunciation. Pretty much every time a word or name ends with "ao" ("ão") it isn't pronounced au/ao, but closer to an/aon.

This is what Vasco da Gama has written in his journal " I travelled closer to coast and reached Africa in Africa I met a Gujarati trader he took me to Bharat(India)"

Where is the painting from shown at 5 : 10 💯

4:05 > Get into fight with locals > "Cannonball goes brrr"

thats how Portugal put an end to medieval spice trade

Love from Kerala India to Vasco da Gama ♥️♥️♥️💚💚💚

Tiago, you are absolutely correct. He discovered the sea route to india from his country.

Fun fact: the local sailor that guided vasco to india was a gujrati trader(indian guy from state of gujrat especially surat). Portugals were weary of arabs since they dominated arabian sea trade(Between Middle east and india) so they needed someone else to trust. Africans were not traders but luckily they found indian guy who lead them

Actual facts: Vasco da gama came to India in 1498 and Gujarat was formed in 1960, . Before that Gujjar the original inhabitants of Gujarat belonged to Prathara dynasty and this Gujjar actually poured to Indian sub content from Turkey . Vincient A Smith's 'The Early History of India,' Gujjars are “allied in blood” to the Huns who poured into the Indian subcontinent after attacking the Kishan Kingdom of Kabul. Gujjar is Turkish word.

Africans were not traders 💀 one of the most influenced trader around the word was actually from African coast, Somalis was one of the best traders even romans and Greece thinks that the spices and cinnamon were from somalia which is not. They think the spices were cultivated in somalia but it was trade from India to somalia and then to Roman empire

I've read somewhere a museum in Lisbon has a map of Kerala, and it is marked on that map where they ditched their golds and assets when they were attacked by British and also they've buried african slaves alive with that treasure as the belief they will protect the treasure from others. The myth kapiri muthappan is based on this story, and also the upcoming Mohanlal movie Barroz is based on this myth. It is said many people went to discover this treasure, but no one ever came back
