Afonso de Albuquerque led the Portuguese forces in their conquest of Goa in 1510. These forces fought 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.
