A Portuguese fleet commanded by viceroy Afonso de Albuquerque, carrying more than a thousand men in eighteen ships, including Ferdinand Magellan and Francisco Serrão, captures the powerful Muslim Malay state of Malacca two years after the rebuffal by its sultan, thereby gaining control of the Strait of Malacca.

Albuquerque builds a naval base here.
