The Portuguese conquest of Goa was a conflict in 1510 between Portuguese forces, under the command of Afonso de Albuquerque, and the Adil Shahi sultanate for control of what is now the state of Goa, on the southwestern coast of India. The Portuguese victory eventually led to the establishment of the Estado da Índia, the Portuguese empire in Asia. Goa was the first part of India to succumb to European colonial rule.
