- Regarded as the Portuguese Thermopylae, the Battle of Cochin in 1504, was one of the most lopsided engagements in history. Over 65,000 soldiers of Calicut attacked Cochin that had 150 Portuguese defenders. But in the narrow fords of the Cochin Harbor, the Portuguese commander Duarte Pereira was determined to make his opponent's numbers count for nothing.
0:27: ⚔️ Strategic defense plan against enemy forces at two fords based on tide knowledge.
4:01: ⚔️ Zamorin's army faces Portuguese at Ford of Pagar, hindered by spikes, leading to unexpected compacting of waves.
7:45: 🔥 Calicut king abdicates after failed assaults by Pereira's fleet, leading to high casualties and shattered morale.

So again - an amazing battle. Wanted to break it up into two videos as time was a constraint and in an attempt to spread it wider over the algorithm. I'll combine these two videos into one for my 'Art of War' series as well. In the mean time - enjoy! Don't forget to share on social!
This is a great siries! Keep them coming, we cant wait!
God bless you my friend
Could you post the sources too? I'd love to read them myself but sadly i don't know how or where to find them
Can't thank you enough for bringing this battle to life. I'll wait for the full video to spread it a bit though.
If you don't mind the humble suggestion, I would use the opportunity of releasing a battle of Cochin "full video" to stress a bit more the difference in numbers (for instance, it is known that the Zamorin had more than 100 ships destroyed and over 19.000 casualties from his side, while the Portuguese didn't have any casualties on their side with their 150 men and 3 ships). That would be something to.highlight in a post-battle summary, that you don't do in this video, which would remind the viewer of how much of a underdog Duarte was on this fight.
Having said that, wonderful job, keep up the good work. I'll wait eagerly for Almeida and, of course, the great Albuquerque's videos.
If you need anything (or ever want to come to Portugal) just say so;)
Notwithstanding, one has to say that this is a really tricky battle to cover, because it spans several months, back and forwards in formations and skirmishes. You did a great job putting it all together. Props to you sir. Thank you very very much for bringing this epic tale to life!
I am Angolan. I have a Portuguese surname and I always wondered about our history with Portugal, my father always told me that when Angola was a part of Portugal, life was much better than it is here now. I wanted to know more about Portugal and this channel taught me so much about the Portuguese Empire. Its weird because I feel very proud of the history as if it is my own. I hope others feel this way too. Thank you for this channel for sharing this in so much detail. I hope my Portuguese brothers will also feel proud. Yes it was a rough history with some questionable actions, but overall one cannot deny how fascinating it was for brave men to travel so far into far off lands in search of adventure and fortune. A part of all of us longs for such glory. 🇦🇴🇵🇹❤
It is said that these Portuguese expeditions were the beginning of globalization. The world metaphorically became a smaller place. People would start new blood lines and new histories and countries were created. I don’t think all would share your pride in a history that was imposed on you - but from what I have gotten from the Brazilians in the audience - they too are very proud of their heritage and their Portuguese forefathers
Pls find what's current economic situation of portugal, they were & r barbaric & looters of resources
Cheer up man. I'm latinamerican and it also took us a decades to get back to where we were as a colony.
But now that we are free, and we got better at electing leaders, I daresay we are much vetter off than the Spanish. A bit poorer, but a lot happier, no wars, no terrorist and, best of all: No Spanish hahshaha.
I dont care what you have to say about Portugal or its history. @@rsumant1
Yup that's the spirit bro, don't fall for these invaders
“Lord, don’t make me pay for my sins just yet!”
What a great quote!
Yeah when I read that in my research I knew it had to go into the video.
Im portuguese and this war never thought in school, thank you so much, your videos are amazing, viva Portugal
Yeah my friend who helps create the artwork is Portuguese and he couldn't find much info on this battle either
Dá me bastante pena ver Portugal no seu estado atual em contraste com as nossas façanhas desta era...
mesmo@@hugosousa5266
Duarte Pacheco Pereira is the greatest hero that we the Portuguese never really knew 🥹
Can you do a video of the Battle of Aljubarrota? The most important battle of Portuguese history, and guess what? There was another Pereira leading an outnumbered army that delivered a massive victory against all odds.

@@alexfilipeIt would take a bit for me to go back that far - but my buddy at History Marche just published a video on that battle today.
Another amazing story about this Portuguese hero who with his intelligence and courage managed the impossible to defeat a huge army with a few men... it's a shame, however, that instead of being a national hero for Portugal, he had an unfulfilling end and he died alone and forgotten as the same has happened here in Greece where the heroes of the revolutions of 1821 against the Turks fought for the homeland but only got contempt from the Greek state and many died forgotten and poor!!!!!! hello from Greece and I am waiting for the continuation of the Portuguese story.
Hello ! Love your country - I traveled from Patras to Delphi to Athens and then down through the Aegean a long time ago. Happy you liked my videos!
@@FlashPointHx It's a beautiful event that you visited Greece, I hope you also went to the famous oracle of Delphi, the oracle Pythia lived there, and that the ancient Greeks said it was the center of the earth!!!! We hope you come again for vacations in my beautiful country
A beautiful country that gave so much to the world. Sometimes, people only judge a country from the present point of view. Many look to southern European countries (like Greece, Spain or Portugal) and only judge them by economic indicators like PIB per capita and such. What about the rest? What about their past contributions? Greece and Portugal, at different times, completely changed and shaped this planet. A warm embrace from Portugal! @@hondac9046
Welcome to european union were no endemic culture is praised, only others, for the sake of cheap labor and perpetuation of anti national political power.
Imagine being a Zamorin’s soldier charging in knee deep water fearfull because your comrades told stories of the previous attacks 3 weeks prior and how a few hundred enemies massacred your army…
Then it was your turn to charge…
The terror must have been terrible.
Thanks for creating such a tense and wonderful storytelling
That’s an insane level of bravery or loyalty - the same must have been going through the minds of the Union Soliders at Fredericksburg making their way up Mayre’s Heights against entrenched men backed by massive artillery.
I had a dinner with some friends in a few minutes ..
I just told them we have to reschedule plus one hour just to watch both Duarte Pacheco Pereira' videos first
Wow! Hope you like this one!
As a proud Portuguese person, I am very grateful to you for the way you tell our story, which makes us so proud.
Please continue the good work you have been doing.
Obrigado.
Thank you, I will
Thanks you for showing us Duarte Pacheco Pereira and his contributions to the Portuguese!
It surprises me how this man and his achievement has been brushed under the rug
@@FlashPointHx raised on PT history and reading the conquests the country throughout the world and end up knowing this man through your videos!
Thanks you again
@@FlashPointHx Not so much brushed under the rug, more like confined to scholarly books.
@@FlashPointHx 50 years of socialism does that to ones culture. Thanks for your work!
An untold military genius Pereira. Thank you for these videos. You are great!
Agree - he was an awesome balance of tactical genius and intellectual
This was a bit emotional. Always felt that Duarte Pacheco Pereira was deeply, unjustly mistreated by the court and by history. This was a man of the highest caliber. The type of friend that you would take to a mortal place or to a suicidal war, and also the type of person that you'd gladly spend time with absorbing his vast knowledge and vision over a glass of Portuguese red wine. Thank you for making him justice. And thank you to promote this extraordinary warrior and Renaissance man to a vast audience. Again: thank you. What a trinity: Pereira, Almeida and Albuquerque. Regardless of the epoch, circumstances or geography, they would be military geniuses of the first order, the cream of the cream. Intelligent, resourceful, dynamic, analytical, great leaders, incorruptible, visionaries, cultured and ruthless. If you know their story, and you compare them to other revered military figureheads from other countries, you cannot deny such assumption. The intro with Camões' words was also a touch of class. All the very best
What an awesome comment - you're right. In history you have people that come along that are just so impressive. Yet, they are still people and they have qualities that one can relate to. So happy that you got so much out of my video!
Once again, we are enthralled by the tale of this Portuguese warrior who, despite facing an overwhelming enemy force, triumphed with a small band of brave men. It's unfortunate that his life didn't turn out the way he had hoped. Like in Greece, where the revolutionaries who fought against the Turks in 1821 were met with contempt by the state and left destitute and forgotten, he should have been a national hero for Portugal. Greets from Greece! I can't wait for the Portuguese story to continue.
Portugal has been fighting for more than two thousand years with excepcional success the most powerful armies in the world. Since Viriathus, the Lusithans and the Celts Bragaerae who defeated the Romans for more than 200 years, when France was all conquered in just 10 years. Even the great ancient writer Strabo wrote: - "And yet the country north of the Tagus, Lusitania, is the greatest of the Iberian nations, and is the nation against which the Romans waged war for the longest times".
Portugal fought all kind of invaders and expelled the most powerful army in the world of that time, the Arabs, much before the Spanish and beated them in astonishing battles of few Portuguese against much superior armies. Even before the region became called Portugal, the people and the region already had the same soul. When the Otomans already were in the doors of Viena and entering in Hungary, the Portuguese defeated them in the Indic ocean. Without that, maybe the Europeans could be speaking Turk nowadays. Portugal defeated pirates, Berberes, Indians, Chinese pirates, Mamelucs and many other forces, fighting alone, when Europeans even thought the world was just what their eyes could see.
Portugal defeated the Dutch and the French in many wars for Brazil, even fought and defeated the Germans alone in wars for Africa, destroying the German imperial dream of Deutsch Mittelafrika. Even the British were defeated when they tried to make Portugal a protectorate, during a short period of the Spanish Habsburg regency.
Castile was defeated in too many battles and Napoleon was defeated in his 3 attempts to conquer Portugal.
The Spanish famous prime minister Manuel de Godoy wrote in his memories: - French Spanish invasion of Portugal (1762): - All Portuguese, in accordance with the fundamental laws of the country, were soldiers and defenders of the kingdom until they were 60 years old... thrown into hardships, on heights, in ravines... they fought a guerrilla war, causing many more losses to the enemy than regular (Anglo-Portuguese) troops. The war of positions, marches and counter-marches, imposed by the Count of Lipa, in which we suffered countless losses, was supported mainly by the armed peasantry.
Portugal had the longest global empire in human history and yet, some call this old nation weak and irrelevant. However, there was a man that had such an extraordinary respect for the Portuguese, that he demanded his king to praise the Portuguese, his name was Wellington and he was an excellent judge of value!
Well said - it knew how to fight!
@@FlashPointHx There are several academic explanations, the most obvious was that as since the Neanderthal, the peoples moved to west following the sun and obviously the climate and natural resources, so the most capable ended in west Iberia. That means that the locals were always fighting the new comers and when the new comers were too strong, they too became part of the region.
This series is genius. That this is true is even more incredible. Never met a Portuguese Age of Discovery Captain before, but I would recognise him miles away. Its hard to move that quickly if your balls are that big..............
hahahahah well said
He glided over the mist, landing only by the sun rays...Not to mention they were made of steel!
The Age of Discovery is one of my biggest blindspots in terms of World History, thank you for this.
Its hard to find good sources for this - everything I come across is made for grade schoolers
I'm Portuguese and living in Australia, I did most of my school in Portugal but coming to another country ruined my education so I lacked of Portuguese history ,thanks for the lessons :)
Anytime my friend!
What a masterful defense.
Agree - he also got insanely lucky at just the right times
This is pure art! Beautiful video! As a Portuguese myself I am baffled by the quality of the content and happy to be learning new things about the history of my country!
Thanks for the awesome comment
It is a great honor to be a descendant of this colossus of a man. 🇧🇷🇵🇹
Wow - impressive.
Are you planning on following the conquests of Afonso de Albuquerque, the "Ceaser of the East" and Francisco de Almeida´s feats, and the subsequent Ottoman- Portuguese Conflicts?
As a Portuguese myself and an Historian i thank you for your amazing work done on this topic and i would like to see a continuation of it however if you chose not to il still off course follow your great work and wish you the best on any endeavour you persue!!!
As we say it here,
Obrigado e Bem Haja!!
Oh yeah definitely will continue w/ Albuquerque
I am very glad i caught this series now so i didnt have to wait for the next episode of the age of discovery but now instead lament that i need to wait for the age of conquest to begin. You should be proud of this incredible production.
These portuguese guys had big balls!
Wich they used very well in their guns.
In the school we learn the basic of the basic about the Indian exploration. Never knowed this hero. He needs a movie!
Yeah agree - this would be a compelling mini-series too
Thanks to socialism, and a movie...we'll all be gone by the time that would be possible!
Great! Thanks for your work!

@@rsumant1 Says the spineless worm living in hell! 🤓
I'm Portuguese and I approve of this video :D
Thank you!
Those men were extremely brave and enterprising. I am enthralled by these videos, that is to say, I’m more than a fan! I wish epic movies would be made to teach this to our youth.
Imagine sailing there, thirsty, hungry, constant headache from dehydration, scurvied, and then arriving and fighting for your life.
One genius turned the tide of history here it seems. Incredible battle. This guy was like the hannibal of Portugal. Fantastic. And I had never heard of him. Thank you.
Thank you for the comment - btw - was your original statement meant to be a pun?
«Regarded as the Portuguese Thermopylae», ironically through out every century of Portuguese military history you'll find encounters just like this one, on land & sea, that could be labeled exactly the same.
Even during the 20th century, when at the Colonial Wars (1961-1974), 30 people were trapped for 13 hours inside a chapel within Mucaba, Africa, against 2000 angry soldiers until the air force came to the rescue.
Battle of Diu was like this as well - except a sea battle
@@FlashPointHx With a lot of crazy melee in it, as it was expected by the berserk Fidalgos; having read Roger Crowley, I'm sure you know what I mean with that reference. 😄.
I'd also recommend to everyone the 8 volume books entitled 'Portuguese Sea Battles', by Armando Saturnino Monteiro, the first three are arguably the most interesting ones.
You'll find around 450 battles, each divided in one chapter, with a few sieges included.
Have fun!
@@SylvaHodracyrda just looked this up - it’s in English! But it’s also very expensive
@@FlashPointHx All of them together would be, definitely, reason why it tends to be more affordable to acquire one from the time period the reader fancies more. In this case, I believe the 1st volume.
Another tip would be: there are PDF's of all of them scattered through out the Internet. ;D.
I really like your videos and I find the comments you make when the fighters are in action very amusing.
By the way, I seriously studied Portuguese history and I am very proud of my country.
Thank you very much for your work. 😊
You are so welcome - happy you like those comments during the fight as well.
You nailed it, unbelievably good! Thanks for recreating this epic and massively important battle!
Thanks again! Again loving that avatar
It was an informative and wonderful historical coverage episode about glorious pages of Portuguese naval forces battles in western shores of Indian 🇮🇳 peninsula in 1500 ..battles led by daurtie Pereira ...thank you 🙏( flash point history) channel.
You are so welcome !
É incrível notar que essa história é tão pouco contada e celebrada em língua portuguesa (ao menos no Brasil, suponho que até mesmo em Portugal). A Wikipédia em inglês possui um conteúdo muito mais vasto sobre as "Armadas da Índia" do que a própria Wikipédia em português. No CZcams, é ainda pior ver como não há bons vídeos com animações pra nos ajudar a entender determinadas descrições apenas apresentadas em leituras, muitas vezes com termos sem explicações que façam o estudante moderno compreender o que é contado. Esse canal e essa série está prestando um serviço gigantesco à História, sem exagero! [It's incredible to realize that this story is so little told and celebrated in Portuguese (at least in Brazil, I suppose even in Portugal). The English Wikipedia has much more extensive content about the "Armadas of India" than the Portuguese Wikipedia itself. On CZcams, it's even worse to see how there are no good videos with animations to help us understand certain descriptions only presented in readings, often with terms without explanations that make the modern student comprehend what is being told. This channel and this series are providing a tremendous service to history, no exaggeration!]
It was really hard to get information on this battle - you have to piece it together. You're right, there is very little know or publicized about this era
This battle is one of the greatest examples of the Art of War.
Agree - I’m gonna combine both parts and add it to my Art of War series
As epic as this battle is, it's also unintentionally hilarious. It feels like a videogame, or something out of Monty Python and the Holy Grail, where both sides are constantly running back and forth, one trying to get across, and the other throwing whatever they can get their hands on at them to keep them from crossing.
Hahaha - you got an interesting sense of humor Darth - but yeah it’s like that Monty Python skit where they are British officers fighting the Zulu
Thanks so much for recreating this epic historic event
Wow Jose - thanks so much for this!
Flash Point History- take a bow. Great story told in such a colourful way.
What a brutal fight, bravery and ingenuity on both sides. Those Portuguese sure are a plucky bunch.
Imagine what the Portuguese would do when they had strength
Great video, but you were incredibly generous for the indian auxiliaries of the portuguese. They melted at the slight taste of combat. Duarte Pacheco Pereira spent more time trying to raly them than leading them.
On one occasion, a group of Calcute men tried to flank the island through the fields, but a group of "untouchables" farmers reppeled them.** Pacheco Pereira begged the Raja to give weapons to them instead of the useless troops the Raja had given him, but the Raja "educated Duarte on the intricacies of the cast system".
( **Calculte warriors were more afraid of being "corrupted" by the untouchables than their farming equipment weapons)
You also left out the scene that Duarte refused any reward from the Raja for defending Cochin, refusing the barrel of black pepper.
Dont want to sound hars by any means. I absolutely love that this is getting attention. Dont know if you remember, but I actually said I was excited to see this battle back in August 2023!
You really know this battle well - that part with the untouchables was one of the items that didn't make it into the video. There was also a part where he switched fire signals and made the Samudri's men fight each other in a night battle. Happy that you have followed this series for so long!
I love this channel and this Portuguese series, it’s awesome! Congrats!!
Hey appreciated Emilio!
What an amazing set of videos! This is such a tricky battle to cover and do justice, always moving back and forth, spread across several weeks, with the terrain playing such a crucial role, etc. But you nailed it, the videos were clear, informative and entertaining, bravo!
Thank you so much! It took a while to organize this battle - there was still quite a bit that ended up on the cutting room floor in order to preserve the flow of the narrative
Portugal the most valiant nation in the east
Simply excellent!! Why do we not learn this in school? (I am from Brazil, of Portuguese descent)
It’s such an amazing battle story - shocks me this isn’t taught in schools
wow. Thank you so much for your hard work in this series. You even started with a Lusíadas quote, and a very peculiar one ;) (you are clearly in the portuguese team 😂). Thank you so much for this.
Really happy that you liked my video Paulo - I had to use a lot of google translate to find a decent quote. This one seemed to really capture the mood.
Amazing details and the numbers 300 Portuguese against 50000? Excited to see that Afonso Albuquerque is entering the scene now.😊
He was the architect of the Portuguese empire
Flash Point History It's my favorite CZcams channel! Thank you for these videos, brilliant work!!
Any time Pedro - as always, really cool avatar
Wow amazing courage and fighting abilities for so few to stand and defeat so many....... Molon labe
Molon Labe indeed!
This and Rio Salado probably the most underrated victory by the Iberian Powers to date
That was also a crazy win that could easily have crushed the Castilian king and his kingdom
The idea that a handful of European “conquistadors” could cross oceans and topple empires with tens of thousands of soldiers always makes me marvel.
Agree - Aztec / Inca were no different - how is that even possible?

@@FlashPointHx Np! Since I began creating content myself I learnt to appreciate good CZcams videos and channels much more! You deserve the praises!
@@Vichikuma nice! Yeah it takes a lot to create history content - the research alone is extensive
@@FlashPointHx And if you're not portuguese native I bet this was 10x times harder to research. Great work! ✊
Very great video, again, you are awesome, I just want to point out something I read in this video comments, 2yrs ago I was working with a colleague, turned friend meanwhile, he is from "The Gambia" and he told me: "I know Portuguese did bad stuff, but I wish, oh how I wish that it was the portuguese who colonised my people, we were way better today"
Wait, do your friend actually wanted the Portuguese to colonize his country? I've never heard that one before
@@FlashPointHx I've heard that also, and even this from more than one person: "When are you guys finally going to come back?"
@@SylvaHodracyrda isn’t there a line that’s goes, ‘those who don’t miss the Soviet Union have no heart - those who want it back have no brains’?
@@FlashPointHx I presume alot of this sentiments comes from the fact that while Portuguese did bad stuff in the colonies they where actually quite safe and good economically, completely different of today, and because the time where portuguese had colonies was not that far, ( the colonial wars happened after WW2 so alot of people remember those times), another thing is that during the dictator regime the colonies where actually quite well kept, there where even talks of creating a commonwealth like the British, integrating those colonies on it.
@@SylvaHodracyrda what I gathered from him, I think, in his mind, his country would be better today, one example he gave me, was, the population of all ex-portuguese colonies can be portuguese if a person papers are correct and after pass through the bureocracy, and can live in Portugal, even become portuguese, then european, while other countrys wouldnt accept that, he can only have a visa for 1yr in England, thats it, but a brasilian, an angolan, a capeverdian or moçambique guy can become portuguese after his papers are accepted
Fascinating history. Thanks for posting
Very good, as always, but I must make a small remark. Portugal was not poor before the age of discovery, which is why it was able to finance both technological development and the construction of ships to carry out the venture.
The two biggest "angels" are coming next, i just can't wait 😊😊😊😊
Random fun fact, the earliest physical descriptions of Duarte Pacheco Pereira's are:
"Red bearded, enormous, with the face wallowed in scars".
Edit, the reference:
«E no topo da mesa, debruçado sobre um cadeirão de espaldar de coiro, as barbas ruivas descaídas sobre um mongy de chamalote, forrado de guardalate vermelho encimado por um gorjal de bom aço das oficinas de Passau, Duarte Pacheco Pereira, enorme, sereno, a cara retalhada de cicatrizes, amarfanhava na mão direita um papel amarelecido pelas intempérides.»
Wish I had this references - most of the pics I generated were based on the pics I saw of him. Wonder where he got the red hair genes from
@@FlashPointHx The Portuguese have Celtic roots, so it's no surprise.
There are no known contemporary portraits of him, but we do have physical descriptions such as that one, which makes up for the lack of an image.
The chronicles written by the contemporaries João de Barros, Diogo do Couto, Corrêa, in works such as 'Décadas da Ásia' & 'Lendas da Índia' are very, very graphic with the events, the appearance of the individuals involved and the weapons they used: a lot of references to long knotted beards, to the «Montantes» (the greatswords, called 'Spadone' by the Italians & 'Zweihänder' by the Germans), and to armors of course; the ones we do see on the animations are more akin to the 2nd half of the 16th century. During the earlier decades, full head to toe plates were still common.
Roger Crowley himself made use of those authors by the way.
Excellent documentary. I was waiting for this one and you did not disappoint!
Much appreciated!
The advantage of being a small country with a small population is that everytime one hears the word Porugal is because someone is calling you.
love your videos. hope you find sponsors to support you. we need more youtube channels and videos like yours. please keep going
I got sponsors - I try not to use them. Seems to cheapen the experience
