\nBahadur Shah, the Sultan of Gujarat, signed the Treaty of Bassein with the Portuguese in 1534. Under this treaty, he ceded the island of Bassein and its dependencies and granted the Portuguese permission to build a factory in Diu. Although the final Portuguese control over Diu was secured after conflicts and Bahadur Shah’s death in 1537, the process of surrendering control and allowing Portuguese presence in Diu began under his rule with this treaty, primarily to secure Portuguese help against the Mughal Emperor Humayun.
\n<\/section>\n
\nThe strategic port of Diu was highly coveted by European powers, especially the Portuguese, for controlling trade routes. The internal political struggles in the Gujarat Sultanate, particularly conflicts with the Mughals, sometimes led rulers to seek alliances with European powers at the cost of territorial concessions.

\nThe Portuguese eventually gained full control of Diu in 1537 after killing Bahadur Shah during negotiations and defeating subsequent attempts by the Gujarat Sultans and Ottoman Empire to retake it. Diu remained a Portuguese territory until 1961.
