At stake was the very lucrative spice trade controlled by Arabs, Egyptians and Venetians up to this point. In 1488 during the age of exploration, Portuguese explorer Bartolomeu Diaz rounds the Cape of Good Hope, opening the way to the Indian Ocean. Next year Vasco da Gama makes the first trip to India, establishing relations with Calicut and its ruler, the Zamorin. Pedro Alvares Cabral leads the second expedition, discovering Brazil on his way to India. He opens a feitoria, however relations soon sour and war breaks out between the Portuguese and Calicut. Further fleets follow and Alfonso de Albuquerque lays the foundations to the Portuguese India Empire (the Estado da India). Bibliography: Diffie, B W (1977).
