1 jan 1505 ano - Portugals' trading post empire starts

Descrição:

Portugal establishes lots of small land-based colonies, rarely stretching far inland

"Portugal's purpose in the Indian Ocean was to ensure the monopoly of the spice trade. Taking advantage of the rivalries that pitted Hindus against Muslims, the Portuguese established several forts and trading posts between 1500 and 1510."
