The Capture of Malacca was a significant historical event that took place on August 24, 1511, when Afonso de Albuquerque, a Portuguese general, seized the city of Malacca on the west coast of the Malay Peninsula. At that time, Malacca was a key trading port crucial for commerce between India and China.
The Portuguese conquest of Malacca marked an important turning point in the region's history. It allowed the Portuguese to control the spice trade in the Malay Archipelago and to strengthen their influence in the Indian Ocean. This takeover also had a major impact on the political and economic dynamics in Southeast Asia, contributing to the creation of a Portuguese maritime empire that would extend over several centuries.
