Portugal gained control of Southeast Asia primarily through maritime exploration and military conquest in the early 16th century. Following Vasco da Gama's successful voyage to India in 1498, the Portuguese established a network of fortified trading posts, notably in Malacca, which became a key hub for trade between Europe and Asia. They utilized superior naval technology and military power to dominate local trade routes and territories, often engaging in conflicts with local kingdoms and rival European powers. This strategic approach allowed Portugal to maintain a significant presence in the region for several decades.
