Triggered by
Action A of 260019 - Decline of the Malaccan trade for PortugalDescription
By the late 16th century Malacca had ceased to be the premier trade emporium of South East Asia and the Moluccas. This was a result of excessive piracy from Atjeh and Johore and because of frequent attacks at sea and seiges of Malacca by Atjeh, Portugal's primary rival in the region. Atjeh by this time became the premier trade emporium instead, as Muslim merchants prefered to trade at a port controlled by their co-religionists.Actions
