Flash Point History
We hear of great people in history all the time. The Caesars, the Elizabeths, the Napoleons, and the Genghis Khans. They may have been enlighten rulers or vile despots; great builders or the destroyers of civilization - but they all shared one thing. They were human, and as such they had hopes, dreams, aspirations, inner demons, and insecurities - like everyone else. These traits affected the course of humanity for better and for worse. Together, they have made us the global society we are today. Flash Point History is dedicated to making history accessible because when we look into the past we discover ourselves.

The attack on Aden in 1513 showed a rare time when Afonso de Albuquerque poorly handled a battle. The Portuguese governor attacked against the city's strength instead of manipulating its weaknesses.
This latest video is 35 minutes long - going to hit the 10 minute mark of production.

Hello everyone!! Hope you all have had a great summer. Apologies for the long hiatus - I had to take a break to do some traveling. Jackson Hole has got to be one of my favorite spots to go now. I'm back and I've been working on the the next audio podcast. Which should be coming out in a few days! We continue the Saga of the Portuguese Empire into the final days of Afonso de Albuquerque!

Currently on 19 minutes of a 23 minute production - hoping to have it out on Monday / Tuesday.
It always impresses me how having a monopoly on something can change the entire political and economic scene. Goa, in the 16th century, happened to be THE hub of the Arabian horse trade. A commodity that every kingdom and sultanate needed for their armies. By controlling the city, the Portuguese had leverage on everyone.
