Portuguese naval forces under the
command of Afonso de Albuquerque seized Goa from the Bijapur Sultanate,
resulting in 451 years of Portuguese rule. Albuquerque attacked Goa at the
invitation of a local exiled leader Thimayya. Albuquerque was then able to
capture Goa in less than a day, with Bijapur forces surrendered on 10 December
1510.
