Feitorias
The Feitorias (fortified trading factories established along the African and Asian littorals from the late fifteenth century) combine warehouse, garrison, customs house, and chapel under a single royal Feitor. Beginning with São Jorge da Mina and extending to Sofala, Hormuz, Goa, Malacca, and Macau, the network monopolizes choke points along the spice routes without requiring large inland conquests. Through this model of fortified trading posts Portugal controls a vast share of global commerce with remarkably few occupying troops, sustained by maritime supremacy alone.
