OVERVIEW Southeast Asia produced valuable products and woods that people in other parts of the world wanted to buy. In the early 1500s, the first European explorers reached Southeast Asia (by ship) in search of new trade routes and products. With the coming of the Europeans, Southeast Asian kingdoms faced a challenge to their independence and traditional ways of life.

SPICE TRADE The Portuguese were the first to reach Southeast Asia. The spice trade had been controlled by Muslims and the Portuguese wanted to take it over. During the next 25 years, the Portuguese built a number of new trading posts in Southeast Asia. The Most important place they conquer is the City State of Melaka (in present day Malaysia). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9x9ahU7m4tQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9x9ahU7m4tQ

ARE YOU GELLIN? Spain was eager to find their own route to the spices of Southeast Asia and sent Ferdinand Magellan to complete the task. Magellan and his crew landed in the Philippines and became the first Europeans to visit these islands. The Spanish founded a colony, or overseas territory ruled by a parent country, in the Philippines.
8
THE PHILIPPINES Although the Spanish did not find spices in the Philippines, they did find fertile land and an excellent location for trade. Spanish soldiers and officials established a fortified settlement at Manila on the island of Luzon. Manila’s magnificent harbor made the Philippines a valuable link in Spain’s trade with Asia and the Americas.
9
A LITTLE CORNY… The Spaniards gradually expanded their control to other parts of the islands. Many people of the Philippines accepted Spanish customs (Roman Catholic faith). The Spanish Roman Catholic clergy established missions, learned the local languages, taught the people European agricultural methods, and introduced new crops from the Americas..corn and cocoa.
10
DUTCH SUCCESS English and Dutch traders wanted a share in the Southeast Asian spice trade. They began to fight each other. The Dutch finally succeeded in forcing the English to leave the islands (present day Indonesia). The Dutch helped a local kingdom defeat a rebel uprising and in return for their assistance, the Dutch received important trading rights.
11
THE FRENCH IN VIETNAM 1600s: French traders based in India began limited trade with the Vietnamese and other peoples in the Southeast Asian region of Indochina. Roman Catholic missionaries from France converted many Vietnamese to Christianity. French wanted Indochina’s rubber, coal, and rice. 1860: The French colonize the region. Only one area of Southeast Asia stayed independent of European control, modern-day Thailand.
