Jason Debaugh’s Reviews > The Conquerors: How Portugal Seized the Indian Ocean and Forged the First Global Empire > Status Update

Great read. Exciting adventures. Kinda sad how dumb the Portuguese were at first with their religious bigotry. They showed up to a place where everyone coexisted peacefully without concern for religion. And then discriminated and distrusted Muslims in an over the top way. Like Borat against the Jews. Ridiculous. But in this case violent. And sad. I keep saying to the Portuguese “just chill out!”
