The Portuguese made use of naval technology by using their superior seamen, ships and guns to destroy the Muslim fleet, who controlled the spice trade, and took it over for themselves.
The Dutch took control of the spice trade by establishing the Dutch East India Company (VOC) in the early 17th century. The VOC used superior naval power to gain control of key spice-producing regions in Southeast Asia, particularly the Moluccas (Spice Islands), and monopolized the trade by enforcing exclusive contracts with local rulers. The Dutch also developed trading posts and fortresses to protect their interests and expand their influence in the region.
Afonso de Albuquerque's main purpose was to establish Portuguese dominance and control over key trade routes in the Indian Ocean region, particularly in the spice trade. He sought to expand Portuguese influence through military conquest, establishing a network of forts and trading posts to secure Portugal's commercial interests and strengthen its global power.

The Portuguese chose to set up small settlements in the Moluccas to monopolize the lucrative spice trade and maintain control over the region without the need for larger military presence. This strategy allowed them to exploit the resources while facing less resistance from local populations and other European powers.
