1542 CE

Goa, conquered by Portugal in 1510, is the capital of the Portuguese Viceroyalty in Asia, and the other Portuguese possessions in India, Malacca and other bases in Indonesia, East Timor, the Persian Gulf, Macau in China and trade bases in Japan are under the suzerainty of its Viceroy.

The area under occupation has expanded by the mid-sixteenth century to most of present-day limits.

Francis Xavier, a founding member of the Society of Jesus, leaves Rome for missionary work in Goa, which he reaches in 1542 after a long and dangerous voyage from Italy to become the first Jesuit missionary to India.
