Which of the following event regarding Portuguese control on Indian Ocean Trade is not true ?
Capture of Aden in 1494
Afonso de Albuquerque built the Portuguese Estado da India by seizing key points that controlled the sea routes of the Indian Ocean.
He captured Goa from the Bijapur Sultanate in 1510, Malacca in 1511 (controlling the strait to the spice islands) and Hormuz at the mouth of the Persian Gulf in 1515; all three are true.
The Portuguese never captured Aden: Albuquerque's assault on it in 1513 failed, so the Red Sea outlet stayed out of their hands. Moreover 1494 is earlier than Vasco da Gama's arrival at Calicut in 1498, so no Portuguese capture could have taken place then.
Hence, Capture of Aden in 1494.
