The Rise of the Portuguese - The Story of the world's first trading empire
Flash Point History posted nothing new, but its catalog added about 46,000 views, with Portugal's maritime expansion providing the strongest thread.
“The Rise of the Portuguese - The Story of the world's first trading empire” is drawing the most daily views among its active titles. It explores how a small country on Europe's western edge established a sea route to India and built an overseas trading empire. The companion subject in “The Art of War: Grand Strategy - The Conquest of the Indian Ocean” is more specific: Afonso de Albuquerque's effort to control strategically important points across the ocean. Together, the documentaries move from the broad sweep of exploration to the decisions behind imperial expansion.
The more recent “If they want a war, Let it begin here!” remains active too, shifting to British regulars and colonial militia at Lexington and Concord, at the beginning of the American Revolution.
Subscriber numbers were unchanged, while daily viewing is running below the channel's usual pace. Nearby, Hop added subscribers and substantially more weekly views; Firepower United had a smaller weekly viewing gain. For Flash Point History, the upload break has left its Portuguese history documentaries as the busiest part of the shelf.
