The Portuguese could not establish many trade centers in India
Answers
Answer:
The Portuguese could not establish themselves firmly in India and as a result of their own carelessness; they were deprived of their trade and territories.
The main cause of their failure was the lack of resources. It was not possible for a country like Portugal to establish its control over India. Hence, the other European powers that were more powerful and resourceful success fully drove them out. Moreover, the Portuguese were fanatics.
They adopted the policy of conversion which offended both the Hindus and the Muslims. They also tried to establish matrimonial alliances with the Indian rulers and their interference in the domestic affairs annoyed the Indian rulers, so they came into conflict with one another.
Soon the Mughals, the Marathas and the English people starched some significant territories from the Portuguese. It weakened Portugal and ultimately it lost her independent status to Spain and she was merged with Spain.
