Wanted to combine the two Pereira videos into one to cover the entire Battle of Cochin of 1504. Seems like no know has ever heard of this battle and wanted to get a few videos out there to give it more coverage. Enjoy!

Much appreciated. For anyone else who's also into it, I'll take the opportunity to reference in this video, as I did on the previous, the 8 volume books entitled 'Portuguese Sea Battles' (English edition), written by the naval commander Armando Saturnino Monteiro. It covers around 450 confrontations, with sieges included, from the 12th to the 20th century. Roger Crowley's 'Conquerors' (2015) however is a very nice start, for this time period in particular. Enjoy readers. Edit: spelling correction.

He did have some things going for him. Large support force and time. An despite numbers, effective fire superiority. Otherwise we would talk about the last stand of Pereira. Mostly battle like this end up in history as last stands (if you have terrain and a small but elite force). eventually you still get shot to pieces or overrun, due to exhaustion. or simply flanked. those Portuguese ships had about the same effect as having 3 modern MBT's on napoleonic battlefield.

“It defies comprehension how the Portuguese endured. Outstanding organization & exemplary cooperation was one factor without which the defense would not have been successful. Equally important was the opinion of invincibility which the Portuguese derived from their continued good fortune. Long-time military drill & training as professional soldiers had instilled in them iron discipline, endurance, & self-control essential in facing forces one hundred times their number. Confident of their superior weapons & bonded together by the belief in a truer God, they fought their Holy War in a esprit de corps & comradeship” - R.O.W. Goertz.

@robertrodriguezharo1906 Місяць тому
@@bosbanon3452 We can call an active defense or an agressive defense when an army or group defending a fortress or a specific area do everything in their power to disrupt the attacks and siege efforts of the invader, trying to steal their initiative and momentum. Night sorties to destroy equipment, food or amunition or to bring terror to the besiegers rest and confidence was a classic Iberian tactic of the time. Raids, delay actions, sabotages, espionage, missinformation, luring enemies into traps and using every avaliable tool to demoralize the attackers and break their will to fight can be considered part of a potentially successful active or aggressive defense.

The Portuguese used the naval tactic 'Cross of Thunder' or 'Crossing the T'. Their Ships anchored in a perpendicular pattern to the Indian ships, presenting their full broadsides against the approaching enemy vessels. They used long oars to maneuver, anchor, fire their guns, and then row again, rather than using the wind in the narrow channels.

I often overlook how much influence mother nature has on the flow of battle, it's always important to remember that no matter how large or well equipped your army is, being able to understand the terrain and even use it to your advantage is perhaps the most important aspect of any confrontation. The Battle of Red Cliffs and Early Muslim Conquests are good examples of a smaller force snatching victory from the jaws of defeat by understanding and utilizing their surroundings effectively.

Thank You Flash Point History for another amazing piece of content, I'm really glad your channel and content is picking up steam, from the narrative to the graphics of battles everything is just top notch and it really grasps your attention all the way to the end. In regards to this specific battle, I thank you for giving it more exposure, to be honest I'm from Portugal but I've heard of this battle very vaguely so I had no real knowledge of how historic this battle was, it's right up there with the battle of diu in 1509 in my opinion now that you showed how epic this battle was. Man, sometimes when I think about the history of Portugal this country feels like a paradox lol 😅 Throughout the centuries, it managed to maintain its independence and not being absorbed by the Kingdom of Castille (Later Spain) and fought battles halfway across the globe while being outnumbered, this country feels like it challenged the laws of probability and won many times 😅 Anyway thanks for everything you do, best regards 👋✌

Great video! The level of detail is exquisite. All those maneuvers, the organization of the troops, the tactics and overall strategy...Hats off to you, dear Sir. You were able to capture all the intricacies and sheer complexity of Pereira's superb defense. I hope viewers realize that. What a commander he was - Pereira was playing with multiple, dynamic and ever-changing variables like the tides, the channel depths, the men, the maneuvers, the different guns and their different platforms (ships) with different capabilities (like speed vs. robustness - caravels vs. carrack), the moral of the troops and so on. He was playing multidimensional chess. Brilliantly. And just with a handful of men. Imagine if he had at his disposal a much larger amount of manpower. Thank you for showing us, ignoramus, the brilliance of this master and commander. That he was a contemporary of two other immense generals (Almeida and, above all, Albuquerque) is extraordinary. Unfortunately, I cannot go back in time to watch this crazy battle unravel in front of my eyes - the next best thing must be your videos. Thank you

The reply is """" Torre do Tombo..""""" Is the portuguese national arquives. There are kept documents older than Portugal independence, 1128. In each caravel, nau or other ships , was required to write any thing that could be relevant, even the colour of a rock, the colour of the sand in the african cost, birds, animals etc. This info was tretead as secret of the crown. In the Torre do Tombo in Lisboa all this documents are kept.
