19:16 It was not an "annexation" into Spain. First of all, "Spain" didn't really exist as a political entity, they were two crowns (Castile and Aragon) and their respective kingdoms. Portugal was inherited by the Habsburg monarch, making Portugal another of the Crowns held by that monarch. Anexation implies the territory of Portugal became part of another crown (in this case, the Crown of Castile), this wasn't the case, the Crown of Portugal remained its own political entity, as another holding of the Habsburg monarch.

[@FaithfulOfBrigantia]

@@VideoDepot999 No it was not "Spain", it was the Crown of Castile, the primary title of the Habsburg monarch and the junior partner of the Union. It is time we all stop using 21st century concepts of nationality in a 16th century context. The people from the Crown of Aragón were not considered the same people as those from the Crown of Castile, they didn't abide the same laws and had different administrations. There was never a Spanish nationality or a Spain country until the Decrees of Nueva Planta in 1716, which merged the two crowns into a single country: Spain. The Habsburg monarch also did NOT rule in absolutist fashion. It was a parliamentary Monarchy and its constituent crowns we governed by proxy by vice-roys, including the Crown of Portugal, which never ceased to exist.

Turks, mogols, Portuguese and Spanish,, they deserve respect in the history of war..the beginning of the fall of the Ottoman Empire was undoubtedly the naval wars he fought with the Spanish and Portuguese

[@Luso515PorTuoGraal]

An additional comment: I think K&G, even though very accurate, as usual, You were quite generous with the Ottomans, since in total, they only gained access in the Red Sea, remaining blocked (except for rare disruptions or some military expeditions - not being intercepted in the case - and most subtle fugitive merchant trade that has ever been flowing throght out the century, but decisive), at the entrance to the Persian Gulf, much of the coast of India, between India and Ceylon and the Malacca Strait, all owned by the Portuguese. But this is relative in the discussion of historians (and about the scale of trade numbers), and we are often dominated by a Western prejudice, which is viewed as totally dominated by the Portuguese, replaced by a total dominance by the Dutch and then by the English and the British Empire (despite French and others attempts and participation. And we know it wasn't like that, as you shows us very well in the documentary. A problem to the Ottomans: with the exception of a few galleons (despite excellent war galleys that were the heart of their navy in both seas - the galleasses were mostly in the Mediterranean) still clashed (despite their immense power in the Mediterranean and, less, but increasingly in the Red Sea and Basra), with a technological disadvantage in this confrontation in terms of armament and navigation in the high seas, Portugal had innovated for the first time in history in this scale and strengthened its means in these aspects (size and advanced shipbuilding - and mass eavy gunnery in galleons and naus (thoug with many light galleys and oarboats involved on regional armadas as support), and would increase even more in the future with other Europeans. And the Ottomans faced many fronts (Portugal also, and concerted attacks in a geographical space, which was almost historically unprecedented, in the Indian Ocean, besides its bases under siege in North Africa (Morocco) and the corsairs in the Atlantic and west); but the Ottomans had the huge European front and the Iranian one. Although they were masters in managing peace on one side and offensive effort on the other one, depending on the moment.

[@Luso515PorTuoGraal]

@*Angelscor* Yes thanks. Great your insight on Piri Reis. I have a curiosity / or fascination for him. And about Lepanto, yes. The Ottomans have indeed been defeated on the larger majority of occasions (or detained) in thse wars, but for the reasons I am referring to, and you, too, pointing out, and in the context I am referring to (the truth of their immense military power in the world is no way at stake, or their large achievements as K&G put well), but with some deficiencies, and in the context that we know, and that several historians point out. They even had to end up holding Yemen and the Gulf of Adem, because in the rest of the Indian Ocean, the Portuguese armadas still reigned (with the effort and long gradual weakness of cost for the Portuguese), resorting to Corso activity, the last Ottoman great resource (with all its power, problems, and many fronts). In fact, the few large military expeditions at the beginning (against Diu in India, for example) sought, and with intelligence, to avoid any Portuguese naval interception, and evacuated the siege, to any news of their proximity. The exceptions were the attacks in the Persian Gulf, because the local coast fleets were lighter (But the presence of a galleon like St. John was enough to create chaos in the Ottoman side, as the presence of more ocean-going shpis, but mostly in open sea). And there, too, they experienced the incapacity of these attacks and a greater disaster. It looks like an incredible "feat" of Portugal (and it even is), but using rationality, this has context and an explanation. In the 17th century Portugal is much more debilitated in naval terms, much more, the long sieges no longer get maritime assistance in time (mostly), and for example, in the case of the Strait of Hormuz, it was the Safavids with the English (mostly Portuguese allies, this was an exception) to take, after a long siege (1622), as Barhain; and the Omanites , more easily (Portuguese retreat and abandon) in 1650s from Oman. It's not even more the Ottoman Empire, which has its own problems.

[@ismailseyam3244]

@@kaijixpapa178 a small Iberian kingdom that had a head start in the Indian Ocean, made tons of wealth through colonizing and enslaving people and then you have the factor that portugal's enemies at the time were basically Morocco and Ottomans, while the ottomans were up against Spain, Portugal, Safavids, Austria, Poland-Lithuania and every major European country.. So,, it's logical to lose more, but they achieved other successes though

19:19 Spain didn't annex Portugal. They formed a union, the Iberian Union. Both shared the same king, but in the end Portugal was still pretty much a seperate kingdom from Castile and Aragon, having its own laws, nobility, and courts. 1 King 2 Kingdoms kind of system.

[@alexstudieshistory5823]

​@@rimlandrealist7679 If you could remain from spreading misinformation, I would appreciate it. Battles were indeed fought, but not in the way you're imagining it. You have to understand that the whole situation was more of an internal conflict than anything else. Portugal was divided between those who supported Philip, and the ones who didn't. For example, a lot of nobles and the most powerful House in Portugal, the House of Braganza, actually sided with Philip and were in favor of the Iberian Union. Some were not, which led to those conflicts. The person who wanted to contest the throne was not even supported by the Portuguese themselves. Either way, you really should find a dictionary and search the word "annex"/"annexation". A good example of this was the occupation of Austria during WW2. When it came to the Iberian Union, the following condition had to be met for Portugal to join the union. Courts of Tomar (1581) state the following: 1 - Respect all the liberties, privileges, uses, and traditions of the Portuguese Monarchy, maintaining Portugal's total sovereignty over its Kingdom and Empire; 2 - Always gather courts in Portugal and maintain all Portuguese laws; 3 - Both positions of Viceroy or Governor of Portugal should be held by Portuguese or members of the royal family; 4 - All of the foreseen positions for the Court and general administration of the Kingdom would always be filled by Portuguese; 5 - The Portuguese could also occupy public functions in Castile; 6 - Trade with India and Guinea could only be done by the Portuguese (respecting the Treaty of Tordesillas); 7 - City and village titles could not be granted to non-Portuguese; 8 - The language in all the official documents and acts would continue to be only in Portuguese; 9 - Every year, two hundred new houses would be created (wages that were delivered to the gentlemen from the age of twelve) and the Queen should always have Portuguese noble ladies as their nobles; 10 - The crown prince, D. Diogo, would be maintained and educated in Portugal; 11 - The Castilian garrisons would be withdrawn and the royal arms of Portugal would be preserved in the currency. So as you can see, it was not an annexation but a Union much like the United Kingdom. The first Philips did respect Portuguese autonomy and all the conditions above. But when Philip IV tried to actually ANNEX the Kingdom of Portugal and eradicate all of the Portuguese nobility, it led to the Restauration War which Portugal won.

[@alexstudieshistory5823]

@@rimlandrealist7679 "You are lecturing a POrtuguese about portuguese History?" I'm also Portuguese you dimwit. Besides, probably unlike you, I have a Master's in History that I took during my years studying at the University of Coimbra. I never said that the Union was something everyone wanted, the people certainly were not fond of it. But like I mentioned before, a lot of Portuguese nobles were in favor of the Union. Not to mention that Philip himself was of Portuguese descent. You were the one calling it an annexation, which is ridiculously wrong. If they annexed Portugal, they wouldn't feel the need to call it a Union and just absorb it into Castile like what happened to Galicia and Leon. Portugal had pretty much the same status as Aragon (if not more autonomous), which was still a separate Kingdom from Castile. People do tend to forget that Spain as we know it has only existed since the XVIII century after the War of Spanish Succession which conciliated everything in what today we know as 'Spain'. "Idiot" No need to get aggressive you smartass.

Portugal has been established in Indian Ocean longer than Ottomans. Ottomans recently acquired ports in Indian ocean, and their main navy was in Mediterranean fighting (and winning) against catholic alliances between Spain, Venice, Genoa, Papal state and so on. Imagine Ottomans building forts on Indian coasts and Portugal trying to take them, that would have been an impossible task.

Some corrections please, I know for non Indians, these may not seem much, but trust me, as an Indian, these mistakes really mess up the history of the subcontinent, especially in context of the Mughal expansion and wars, which due to these mistakes would make no sense. So here goes: You have misplaced a lot of states, for example Mewar is not between Amber and the Sur Empire. Mewar was the second largest Rajput state, nestled between Jodhpur, Malwa and Gujarat. Secondly, you have placed Bikaner in Punjab and Haryana, this Rajpit state was west of Jodhpur, not north east. . Thirdly, in the south you have brushed off the Kerala states of Travancore and the Samudrin, the latter had been one of the main rivals of the Portuguese. Lastly, there was no sovereign Chandella king in the north, they had been destroyed by the Delhi Sultans way back during the 13th century.

They don't just flap around impotently with only two corners secured, because the ship wouldn't go anywhere in that case. The entire point is that they're bowsed taut so that they actually draw and transfer the force of the wind through the spars and masts to the hull, thereby propelling the ship.
