Answer:
Finally, in December 1961, India militarily invaded the remaining Portuguese possessions of Goa and Damaon, where regardless of the odds the Portuguese forces put up a fight.[19][20] Portuguese forces had been given orders to either defeat the invaders or die.[citation needed] Only meager resistance was offered due to the Portuguese army's poor firepower and size (only 3,300 men), against a fully armed Indian force of over 30,000 with full air and naval support.[21][22] The Governor of Portuguese India signed the Instrument of Surrender[23] on 19 December 1961, ending 450 years of Portuguese rule in India.
