Summary "Rulers of India: Albuquerque" by H. Morse Stephens is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The work focuses on the life and accomplishments of Affonso de Albuquerque, a pivotal figure in establishing Portuguese power in India during the 16th century. The narrative details his experiences and the historical context of Portuguese expansion, emphasizing the significance of his rule in the complex interplay of cultures and conflicts in the region. The opening of the account sets the stage by outlining the backdrop of Portuguese influence in India, highlighting the factors that allowed Albuquerque to pursue his visions of empire. It introduces readers to the early challenges the Portuguese faced, such as rising Muslim influence and the competitive trading environment. As the narrative unfolds, it provides insight into Albuquerque's strategies and ambitions that shaped the course of Portuguese colonial history, outlining the interconnections between commerce, warfare, and diplomacy during this transformative era. The beginning serves not only to present Albuquerque's character and early career but also to situate him within the broader historical framework of European imperial endeavors in Asia.
