Tied to the mast of a ship, fighting to his last breath against a coalition of empires. The response of the Viceroy of India would not be negotiation or diplomacy. It would be REVENGE. Defying the direct orders of King Manuel I, Almeida sent a terrifying letter to the captain of Diu: "I am going with my knights to your city to avenge the death of a man who was called my son. And if I do not find them, I will take your entire city." With only 17 Portuguese ships, he would face an armada of almost 200 vessels: Ottomans, Mamluks, and Indians, all supported by the Venetians. What happened that day changed world geopolitics forever. 🔥 In this video you will discover: How 17 ships defeated 200 in an impossible battle The most terrifying letter ever sent by a Portuguese commander Why Almeida imprisoned his own replacement The brutal acts that terrorized all of Asia The phrase he said upon seeing the city in flames This is the story of a grieving father who had nothing left to lose.
