[amp_mcq option1=”Martin Alfonso de Souza” option2=”Francisco de Almeida” option3=”Alfonso d Albuquerque” option4=”Nino da Cunha” correct=”option3″]<\/p>\n
The correct answer is: C. Alfonso d Albuquerque.<\/p>\n
Albuquerque was the Portuguese Governor of India from 1509 to 1515. He was a brilliant military strategist and a ruthless leader. He was responsible for the Portuguese conquest of Goa, Malacca, and Hormuz. He also established a Portuguese presence in the Indian Ocean.<\/p>\n
Albuquerque transferred his headquarters from Cochin to Goa in 1510. This was a strategic move, as Goa was located in a more central position in the Indian Ocean. It was also a more defensible position, as it was surrounded by water on three sides.<\/p>\n
The transfer of the Portuguese headquarters to Goa had a significant impact on the history of India. It marked the beginning of Portuguese rule in India, which lasted for over 400 years. It also led to the decline of the Hindu kingdoms of Kerala and the rise of the Muslim sultanates of the Deccan.<\/p>\n
