Afonso de Albuquerque used military action, strategic alliances, and economic measures to establish Portuguese outposts in India during the early 1500s. His key victory was the conquest of Malacca in 1511, which controlled important trade routes. These efforts laid the groundwork for Portuguese dominance in the spice trade.
