History Lovers - Portugal and the Relationship with Asia

Portugal and Asia, two geographical areas that are as far apart as they are different in size, but which today continue to have a centuries-long relationship that unites them.

Vasco da Gama's voyage to India is more than 500 years old, but the impact it had was transformative for both parties (and for the world...).

Trade, war, religion, language, culture and the mixing of peoples. All of this reveals this relationship and it's what we're going to talk about in this History Lovers Talk: from war clashes to treaties, from the Indian Ocean to the Pacific, passing through porcelain, tea and spices, from evangelization to expulsion. A journey that will open many more doors for further conversations...
