John. Vasco (Vasco foi Gamar, as some Portuguese say) attacked ships
in the Indian Ocean, killed their crew and looted everything. Do you
think the Portuguese were different? What do you think of the black
slaves from Africa taken to the American continent? The Inquisition in
Goa? You cannot whitewash the history recorded and archived in France,
Venice and Florence (Italy), the Netherlands, the United Kingdom,
India, etc. (The verb Gamar in Portuguese means to steal).

SOME Europeans “did everything they could to get their hands on the
wealth of the Asians”. But there were other Europeans (Portuguese)
who did not do that and some who called to task those who stole
(like Vasco da Gama when he was Viceroy of Portuguese India).
