The Portuguese in the Strait of Hormuz?
On this day, in 1515, a Portuguese fleet commanded by Afonso de Albuquerque captured the strategic Persian fortress of Hormuz (Ormuz) in the Strait of Hormuz. Renamed the Fort of Our Lady of the Conception, it secured vital control over spice trade routes between Europe, India, and the Middle East, marking a high point of Portuguese maritime empire-building in the Indian Ocean.
